- Find your photos - at least 2 different animals, a background
- Make a new workspace: 8" x 10" and 300 DPI
- Open the animal that you want to use for the BODY. Cut the BODY out of the existing background very carefully using the appropriate tool.
- Open the image of the animal you want to use for the HEAD. Cut the head off the animal using the appropriate tool:
- Follow the outline carefully EXCEPT where it will meet the body. There you want to leave about 1/4 of inch extra!
- If it is furry, feather it 3 pixels when you cut it off the body
- Move the body into the new workspace
- Move the head into the new workspace
- Cut the neck where it will meet the body and feather it at least 20 pixels
- Use FREE TRANSFORM to adjust size
- Right Click in FREE TRANSFORM and use warp to make it meet exactly
- Add a background, shadows, wings, tails, etc.
