Making Selections & Combining Images: Learning Activity 6









Once I got the image of the car selected and eliminated the chain and pole from the foreground, I had a lot of fun putting the car into different images to see where it fit in best. Once I had it in the image i changed the colour of the car slightly and placed it where i wanted it.


the selecting of the car was annoying at first but once I had the technique right, I enjoyed the activity.

Picture 3: Cropped out most of the trees in the foreground to draw attention to the "tunnel" effect over the path and to the trees in the background.

Picture 4: Cropped out the paper to the right and most of the rug to the left, and made the image focus on the shoes which is what the photo was focusing on.
