Photoshop - Broken Glass

For this excercise, I had to place an image of broken glass over a background image that I had downloaded from the internet.

I opened my image in photoshop as a background. Then I dragged the image of broken glass into photoshop, and placed it on top of the background. I then selected "screen" from the dropdown menu in the layers toolbar.

Here is the complete image.

Photoshop - Alan Sugar

I had to superimpose Lord Alan Sugar's head onto a bag of sugar.
I started, by using the Polygonal Lasso tool to select the part of the image that I wanted to move onto the bag of sugar. I then pressed Q, to mask of any elements of the image that I didn't want to copy.
I then used the brush tool to mask of anything else that I had missed with the polygonal lasso tool.
Then, I pressed q again, to unmask the masked off area and reveal the now refined lasso selection.
I then clicked on select and clicked feather, in a drop down menu. i then copied the image of Alan Sugar's head onto the bag of sugar.
Next, I moved and resized the image to make the head apear as if it fits in the bag of sugar.
I copied the head over to the bag of sugar 5 times.


Here is the result.
