Cut and Paste

Here I decided to make one photo using three different photo. Firstly, I set the back ground image, the background image for this one is a portrait photo I took in my studio lighting project. I then brought in a picture from my Rankin homework assignment and used the lasso tool to cut out the eyes. After drawing around the eyes using the lasso tool I pressed “Ctrl J”. This created a new layer with just the eyes so I deleted the original layer. I then brought in a third picture from my environmental portraiture and did the same thing for the beard. When making this picture I wasn’t trying to go for the neat look I wanted it to look like it had been cut out ruffly with a pair scissors.

Here I have made a photo by cutting out some of the original photo and placing a photo in that space. I did this by using the lasso tool and drawing on a part of his face. I then found image from the internet that I wanted in my case it was the famous photo of Teddy Roosevelt laughing. I copied this image then went to the edit bar and choose “Paste Special” then “Paste Into” this placed the image I had chosen in the place where I used the lasso tool. However, it wasn’t the correct size so to size up the image I pressed “Ctrl T” which gave me arrows to move and make the picture bigger. I chose the photo of Roosevelt because he looks so happy in contrast to serious expression of the subjects face in the original picture. This shows how the emotions of people can vary.  I also liked the fact that the Roosevelt photo was in Black and White were as the original picture is in color this also portrays opposites.
