Tuesday's lesson concerned 'refine edge' in CS5 Photoshop. Basically its a tool for layering one image seamlessly onto a new background. Below is my first attempt. Not too bad I think. Some extra editing could be done on the strands of the hair at the sides as you can still see small areas of the original background. I took an image of a punk styled model with BIG hair and placed her onto an apocalyptic background...or is it the UK riots? Not sure. Anyway, I wanted to try something quite visually striking so went for fire and smoke.
After flattening the image I then used lightrooms editing settings and played around with the exposure and colour.
The following pictures show the different stages of the process.
