• The areas I chose to erase were parts that I wanted more detail or to be brighter. For instance I erased the eyes, the teeth and parts of the hair in order to bring back those highlights, details and textures.

• Whatever you erase will be emphasized and become the dominant part of the photo.

Digital Imaging – Tutorial 101. Open two photos, preferably focusing on a single subject matter2. Turn both photos B&W using IMAGE ADJUST GRAYSCALE or you can use

the new CS3 tool: IMAGE ADJUST Black & White3. Choose the image that you want to be the “background” and the image you

want to be the “merging-in” image4. SELECT SELECT ALL on the “merging-in” image, then EDIT COPY

(SHORTCUTS: CTRL A, CTRL C)5. PASTE this image onto the “background image” file using CTRL V6. RESIZE if needs be using EDIT TRANSFORM SCALE7. Click on the ERASER TOOL and then go to your BRUSH SETTINGS and RESET

YOUR BRUSHES using this dialogue window8. Choose a SOFT ROUND BRUSH9. Change brush opacity to 50% and begin erasing the excess parts of the

“merging-in” image (the parts you do not want to see!)10. Go over the areas several times until the two photos start to “merge” its okay

if you get a “halo” effect11. ZOOM IN and clean up the edges with the eraser12. When you are satisfied go to LAYER FLATTEN IMAGE13. Use the BURN & DODGE TOOLS to get rid of “haloes” and alter the image so

that they use a similar light source14. Use the CROP tool to improve your composition

Digital Imaging – Tutorial 11Start with steps 1 – 3 from above4. If you are more comfortable using the QUICK MASK rather than

the ERASER TOOL there is an alternate method. Start from Step 3 Above.

5. Instead of SELECTING ALL, on the “merging-in” image hit QUICK MASK and then paint out the area of the photo you wish to copy (for the example to the right I would paint out the elephant red)

6. Once done, exit QUICK MASK and everything BUT your subject matter should be selected, go to SELECT INVERSE

7. Then EDIT COPY and then go to your “background image” 8. EDIT PASTE (CTRL V)9. Again, use the ERASER and BURN & TOOL to clean up the image
