Computers 90: Other world project: codename: Statue of Caterby Valentine edition

For this project you have to imagine that you have been sent to a parallel world where humans are not the dominant species*. Find a non-religious monument that has a human face on it, and replace that face with a non-human animal.

  1. You will need to ensure that the faces are both in the same orientation (looking the same direction) .

This cat face can only work if the statue is looking sideways in profile. The paws are good for replacing arms though.

This cat is also not facing straight, it is turned slightly to the right.

This cat is a good forward facing example, I will use it.

Copy and paste the animal face in to the original statue.

cat face too big

Use edit >transform > Scale to change the size of the face.

right size cat face

Change the opacity level of the pasted face down until you can see through it.

line up eyes and face

 

Line up the eyes, using the move tool and resizing the face with edit >transform >Scale. When the new face will cover the old one except for any hair, push the opacity back up  to 100%.

vector mask on

Apply a vector mask and then using a brush with black to erase the background of the new face, or a brush with white to restore parts of the new face blend the face and the body together.

erasing with the mask

Have the new face go right up to the hair, but keep the hair.

keep the hair

Use the color replacement tool, after you use  the eyedropper to match the color. If you need to touch up parts use a brush with lowered opacity . You are trying to color the new face as close to the same color as the old as you can.

Color replacing

Do the same steps with any arms or other exposed body parts.

Computers 90: Photo fill

Hey Everyone,

Vancouver Canucks Daniel Sedin

You are going to make a photofill using the pattern stamp and cropping tool. You should make 3 of them. The first one should be a sports star, you need a good close up picture of their face and two things that they are associated with. For Daniel Sedin, I choose the canucks logo and the Swedish flag.  You can’t use this picture of him.

The other two can be any school appropriate famous person you want.

Follow this tutorial: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/photo-fill/

It’s awesome!
