~ celebrity photo ~

For the image on the left, i decided to use the famous actress Angelina Jolie and i placed her in India, new Delhi. You wouldn't normally see Angelina with her wedding dress , crossing the streets of new Delhi.

So first i cut her out using the magnetic lasso, and fixed up what i missed by using lasso. Then i dragged her to the new background by using move tool. I adjusted her size and moved her around so that it would look real. Then i used the air brush and went around her . At the end, i adjusted the brightness/ contrast and i'm done!

Obama


For this exersice, i first used magnetic lasso to cut obama out and fixed up my errors by using lasso tool. Then i pressed the move tool and moved him to the great wall of China background and ajusted him a bit within the new Back ground. BUT i didn't save it properly so therefore i lost the first part of the exercise.
so the image on the left is the second part of the exercise,
i found it more difficult than the first because i was really confused with the mask. I created a layer mask by clicking on the Layer mask icon. Iwanted to change the sky colour but couldn't figure out how so i just left it the same. I also used the air brush to remove the "halos". With the help of some few classmates and teacher i was finally able to finish it.
