Reality manipulation
Reality manipulation
When you are manipulating reality you are making anything possible. Want to be in another country? What a fish tail instead of legs? Want to run over a rainbow? What a whole football team of you? Anything is now possible. This is where you can really let your imagination run wild.

I love the work of James Fridman. His work in Photoshop answering people's requests is loved by millions...
Composite images
Composite images
A composite is an image made from the combination of a variety of pictures. Using layers, the photographs are combined to merge into a single image that appears to the viewer to be whole. We call the art of creating these compositing.
There is an important difference between a collage and a composite image. In the case of a collage, the images are more paired together as a collection of stand-alone images that may follow a theme or story.
Composites are images that have been created using elements from a variety of different pictures. These elements are then seamlessly integrated to create a unified image.

A great video tutorial...
A great video tutorial...
Before we go onto our own projects, have a go at the tutorial below. The guy is brilliant at explaining things so well, I didn't need to create my own.
Your task is to put an animal into a place where it clearly doesn't belong!
If you want to use the same images as the tutorial, you can download them here.
If you want to try with your own images, you'll need a great background image (your setting) and foreground creature.
Use a royalty-free site to find these - this makes sure we're allowed to use them. They are also normally a nice high resolution (aka loads of pixels!)
Important - Make sure the lighting is similar in both images
