Montage Process

Montage 1


At first I selected my background image, and here I chose a beret with a crest in front of a firearm. 
Next i found a picture of different aircraft, and used the magnetic lasso tool to cut them all out
I then dragged the imaes over onto the background layer and resized and rotated
Lastly i opened a union jack image and layered it over the first image, and i then changed the opacity to about a quarter of the way

Montage 2

In preparation for a montage, i took multiple shots closely of my friends face, so that they could be layered. I firstly resized the first image and made it a normal layer, and then added another.
With the next layer, as it was the main face i decided to make it black and white and adjust the contrast and brightness
I continued to layer up separate images to create a mismatched recollection of her face, adjusting the middle facial pictures to be a variation of black and white
Next i found a picture of a traditional gas mask and used the magnetic lasso tool to cut it out
I then dragged over and layered the image so it covered the top right and bottom quarter of her face, with the opacity changed as if it were a past memory or flashback image

Montage 3

For my final montage, i chose a picture of a trailer, then opened up another image of a WWII fighter pilot. I then used the magnetic lasso tool t cut it out. Next i used the rubber tool to smarten the outline of the pilot, and rubbed off the bottom so that it would align with the trailer window
Then i did the same with a boy from the air display in a pilots suit, as a contrast, also in colour
After i opened another tab of the original trailer image, adjusted it to black and white, then cut out the sign with the polygonal lasso tool
I then dragged over the sign to replace the original. After this i also added a formation of planes i took on another shot, but after decided to cover it over
Finally i cut out the edited trailer with the polygonal lasso tool and dragged it onto a black and white image i had found of deployed WWII parachutes. The trailer was resized and positioned on the left.
