Lizard/Hippo

 This was the back ground image we worked up from.

Today we where given a totorial in mergeing  two pictures together makeing them look inplace on one another, we hot 2 images a hippos head and a lizard. we used the lizard as a back ground and put the hippos head in another layer and worked it into blending with the main image of the lizard .
 

Use free transform, and then shift to move it at the same scale/proportion, then move over the head of the lizard I added an adjustment layer of colour balance.

 I added an adjustment layer of colour balance.  And Moved the colours ratios to +32 +82 -91. this was one of the best greens that went with the green originaly from the lizard.

Using a mask I deleted the removed and  faded parts of the hippo’s head to make it look more natural and in place.

Changing the opacity effected how strong the brush was

Using the stamp tool I covered over the nose with a section of the back ground.  Which covered up the lizard’s nose, covering it with a background

over all ithnk that is came out as well as i wanted because it looks all like one picture not loads of diffrent parts stuck onto a lizard.

this has also helped to progress my photoshop skills and i feel more confident useing masks and adjustment layers.
