  1. Benack Zoo Please Don’t feed the animals Courtesy of Ms. Benack

  2. Step 1: Select your images • First you’ll need pictures! • In the M drive, go to your class folder and open folder 20- KohmuenchZoo. • Create a new Photoshop document • Name your document: LastName-Zoo • w- 8 inches, h-11 inches

  3. Step 1: Select your images Here are the two images I selected for my example! Consider the pose and composition of the two animals you select. If one animal’s head faces sideways and the body faces front, the project will be very difficult to achieve.

  4. Step 2: Select the background layer For my new Zoo Animal I decided to make a “Cowsky” I’ve decided to use the head from the husky and the body of the cow Before removing the scenery, make the background into a layer so that you can work with a transparent background. Right-click the background layer, select “Layer from Background…” and click “OK.”

  5. Step 3: Make the background layer transparent. • Starting with the Husky, I used the Quick Selection Tool to remove the background. • You can use any selection tool including the  Magic Wand Tool. Or the Eraser Tool to carefully remove the background.

  6. Step 4: Size the images You’ll need to resize the two images using the Transform Tool (Command/Ctrl + T) to where you think they fit best. You may need to slightly rotate your images so they line up better.

  7. Step 5: Blend the colors. • To match better, we’ll need to desaturate the top layer • Duplicate the head and I labeled the layer “Husky Head Desaturated.” • Then I used the shortcut Ctrl + U and moved the Saturation slider to -48. • YOU MAY HAVE TO CHANGE THIS BASED ON THE COLORS OF YOUR ANIMALS. Use your discretion and make the adjustments you feel are necessary.

  8. Step 5: Blend the colors. • I don’t want to lose the color of the huskys eyes, nose and mouth, so with the Eraser Tool very carefully erase the desaturated color around these areas, pulling in the color from the layer below. • Mine is a very slight change, but yours may be more significant depending on the difference in your color choices.

  9. Step 6: Clean Up! The cow’s getting closer, but we need to match his coat with the huskys and tidy up a few rough edges. Still using the “Husky Head Desaturate" layer, I pulled the husky’s coat out using the Liquify Tool. Find it under the Filter top menu options Within the Liquify menu, I selected the Forward Warp Tool and a brush size of 150. Carefully pull the huskys fur outward from his cheeks. You’ll notice I tried to line up his nose with the nose of where my cow was. Nothing too drastic, and try not to distort the fur too much. Click okay and return to your image. You will really need to use your discretion here! Apply all the techniques you have learned in Photoshop to edit photos.

  10. Step 6: Clean Up! Using a soft round eraser, try to remove the hard edges around the husky head You’ll notice that the color is slightly off; it’s actually sharper than the fur it’s on. To fix this select the Filter options and Gaussian Blur. Set the blur radius to 2.0 pixels and click "okay." Then adjust the levels by going to Image > Adjustments > Levels  and move the middle slider to2.03.

  11. Step 7: Merge the layers We’ve got a two fur layers built up, and now we can merge them together. Select the layers “Husky Head Desaturated" and “Husky Head." Right-click any of these layers and select Merge Layers, then rename the layer “Husky Head."

  12. Step 8: Final Touches I used a combination of brushes, eraser, and free transform to make the final changes necessary to edit and adjust my two layers to look more realistic. YOU WILL NEED TO BE PATIENT HERE. Work slowly and save your work often. This is not a short process… don’t become frustrated… you’re almost there!!

  13. Step 8: Final Touches There is no “magic” or “perfect” fix here. You need to use your judgment and Photoshop skills to apply all that you have learned over this course.

  14. Step 8: Final Touches I ended up not using all of the space in my workspace so I am going to cut out all of the transparent pixels. If you need to do this…. Go to Image- Trim

  15. Step 8: Final Touches My final product! Save this as a PSD file in folder 24- Benack Zoo Then also file– save for web. Save a copy as a JPEG in the Benack Zoo folder.

  16. Step 9: Create a Poster Size: h-11 inches w-8.5 inches Name your new animal creation! List 5 interesting facts Describe its habitat Describe its food Describe its appearance Format and make it look nice!

  17. Save the poster as a PSD and a JPEG. Put the JPEG in the finished assignments folder.
