Graphics- Using tools in photoshop

Photoshop

In this lesson we were looking at photoshop and how to use different tools to create images such as a three eyed cat. I did this by using the cloning tool to copy the original eye and drawing it on its forehead. What makes this creepy is that the cat has three eyes, making

 it look unusual and making it look like an alien cat which is the reason why I like it. 

  

The other task we did was photo shopping a celebrity by taking parts of their face and cloning it somewhere else on their face to make them creepy and unusual. I chose Barack Obama and used the cloning tool to put his eyebrows below his nose, making it look like a mustache. Also I took his eye and his lips and cloned it on his forehead. 

 My third image was Miley Cyrus with her mouth and eyes on her forehead and cat ears on her head. I found it difficult to clone cat ears on her head because I had to be careful to do it right, otherwise I would have to start again which I had to do many times. I believe this is my best photo shopped image and I am proud of it because the ears on her head look real.       

                                                                                          

My last image was a meerkats head photo-shopped on to a man in a suit. For this image I had to use the pencil tool to draw around the meerkats head and then copy the head to the image of the mans body. I cropped out the mans head and placed the meerkats head there instead.

In this lesson I learned how to use tools such as the pencil tool which is used to cut out specific things you need from an image and adding it to a different one. Also, I learned how to use the cloning tool which requires you to copy something by selecting the cloning tool and pressing Alt to copy the image, such a an eye, and drawing it somewhere else. I learned how to crop an image to get a specific bit you want and how to get rid of things on the picture you dont need.

What I found difficult was taking something from an image and putting it on a different image such as the meerkat in the suit. It took me a while to make this as I got confused and had to restart several times.
