Dodo Birds Witness Jabberwocky Slaying

This final image consists of two separate images: the digital photo taken during the previous class assignment and a bird image found from a search on Google. Both images were put into Photoshop and the resolutions made to match at 72. The full size dodo bird image was much larger than the class image, so I resized the class image. I then edited out the background from the dodo bird using Photoshop's magic laso tool and the inverse tool. Each dodo bird was dragged into the class image and the sizes were adjusted to reflect an adult dodo bird and a baby dodo bird. The resulting image was then saved as a jpeg file for uploading to the blog.

Photoshop was confusing. A manual with tool symbol pictures and accompanying descriptions would be useful. Aside from that, the tools used and the final image produced were fun and have inspired me to investigate Photoshop further.

Note: When uploading the image to this post, I chose the centered position with text underneath but when I post the blog, the image moves over to the left side of the post.
