For this mini task we had to

Task one

For this mini task we had to put ourselves into another image but make it so we blended in and so that it wasn't obvious that we are there. I chose a black and white photo of queen street station in 1972 and i put myself in the background so i was hardly noticeable. 

 I got lauren to take to photo of me in the canteen  and then i uploaded it to the macs and opened photoshop.


I edited the photo to black and white so it would match the other photo of queens street station.






I used the mechanical lasso tool to go round myself to cut it from the rest of the image.

I then used the quick mass mode to see where needs to be rubbed out so the picture will look more realistic. I rubbed out all the out side of the picture. and he a dragged it to the other image and put in it place and made it small and look te right size.

   

Then i used this tool to change the colour of the back ground to red so it was easier for me to see what needed rubbing out. and then i draged the photo of me into the photo of kings road train station and then changed the size of the image so i blended is better and so it was harder to notace me.

I then used the blur tool to go round the outside of me so i looked like i was part of the image.

This is the final photo when it was finished. I think it turned out pretty well and looks pretty realistic.

After is was done I saved it as a jpeg.
