Autumn leaf colors Picture

This task we'll se how it's possible to cut out the fur, without damaging it, correct the colors, move off the skin's flaws, work with the layers and textures and also correct the size and the shape of certain objects.

Open on a new window the picture representing a cat: File - Open (ctrl+o).



Copy this layer: Layer – Duplicate Layer to be possible to work with it. Creating the new layer is possible by using the fast button on the Layers window. Paint it in black, using Paint Bucket Tool. Move it on the bottom. Get back to the layer with the cat and apply the Eraser Tool to delete the background, trying to avoid the places with the fur. They must remain intact. We have a black layer that is why we may see what we should erase and what should remain on the picture.



Increase now the layer's brightness and the contrast, applying the selection Image – Adjustments – Curves (ctrl+m).



Choose now the Smudge Tool and change a little its adjustments. Applying blurring action, make the fur look fluffy.



That is what we've got:



Delete now the black background layer by moving it on the Delete Layer button on the Layers window. Create a new layer on its place which must have a different layer now. Open a new layer with the background in a new window, mark it out with the Rectangular Marquee Tool and make a copy of it: Edit – Copy (ctrl+c). Get back to the file with the processed picture and insert it on a new layer.



Insert the same way the girl's picture under the cat's one.



Choose now the Polygonal Lasso Tool and mark out the girl's contours.



Cut out now the marked place: Edit – Cut (ctrl+x) and insert it on a new layer: Edit – Paste (ctrl+v). The layer with the picture's rests must be erased.
