Photoshop Workshop 5

Lassoing. Quick mask mode. Edit, Copy and Paste.



These were my starting images. I wanted to put the geese from the first picture into the second. 
 



Firstly you will need to zoom into the subject you want to cut out.

                                                                        
You will need to see the entire subject.


The Lasso Icon looks like this. 
Depending on the image, you could use the Lasso Tool, here you can draw freely. If you choose Polygonal Lasso Tool you will be able to draw in straight lines and finally, if you choose the Magnetic Lasso Tool this will stick to edges. I selected the Polygonal Lasso Tool  and drew a box around my subject.

 Now you can select the Quick Mask Mode.
  The background will go red apart from what you have selected.
Now select the rubber, now you can rub out what you don't want, the background will also turn red, however you are adding colour and rubbing the red you will need to switch the colours over in the colour palette.

                      
                                                                                      Once you have selected the subject you want you can zoom out, click 'Edit' then click 'Copy'.







Now go onto the image you want the subject to be placed and click 'Paste'.

You can now decide where to place the new subject.







If you do these techniques you will be able to produce something like this.
