Photoshop Skills Session 1: Earth & Eye Exercise

In our first session we used photoshop to create an image by blending two images together. We began by downloading each image from Flickr, one was a picture of an eye and the other was of the earth. We then opened them in photoshop and moved the image of the earth onto the eye, we cut the earth out from its background using the magnetic lasso tool. Then we resized the earth so it was the same size as the eye and used an effect that changed the transparency of the earth. We also used effects to change the colour and texture of the image. This process took a while as we had to get used to using the different tools but once we finished we were happy with the outcome.
