Hidden Image

Can you find the hidden image?  In this we took a busy photo with a  lot going on and tried to hide another image in it.  Not too much photoshoppy stuff going on, most just selecting parts of the main image and deleting them from the hidden on to create depth.  I also used to dodge and burn tools a little bit to make it more hidden.

Color Wheel 2

In this project I took an image I had already made (a pokemon hybrid) and made it into several images with different colors.  The tool most used here was the magic wand.  To make the copies I would select the area around the image, choose select inverse, and then use the 'create new layer via cut' over another image.  I used a variety of different images of different colors that I thought would make cool patterns.  This technique is really useful in  a lot of stuff in digital imaging.

Inside/Out

This project is called Inside/Out, I took a picture of myself and made it look roboty.  The main thing i did was too robot head and aligned them to my own face.  Then, using the eraser tool with about 50% opacity and a soft round brush head, erased my own face exposing the robot beneath.  The smooth erasing makes it look much more realistic than regular erasing.  The eyes were simply deleted and replaced, then shaded using the burn tool to stand out less.
