photoshop skills session 1:earth & eye excercise

In our first lesson, we produced an earth and eye picture. We used two pictures to create this image. First of all we collected an image of the earth off flickr and opened it up in photo shop,we also did the same with the eye picture. We moved the picture of the earth so it was on the same page as the eye and used a tool to cut out the remaining area of the earth picture so we were just left with the earth and not the background. After this we used the eye picture as a guide so we knew how much we needed to reduce/increase the size of the earth picture so it fitted well with the iris in the eye picture. Once we had the earth the same size as the iris we used the blending tool so that the earth picture blended in with the eye and looked like the iris. After this we had completed our picture, however some people,including myself chose to edit the picture to make the earth iris stand out more, using the tools on photo shop, i clicked on the different layers on the bottom right hand size and edited them to how i thought looked good,and made it stand out. I made the background of the eye black and white , and the iris a bright cyan colour.I liked this look because the iris was the main focus in the picture, after this i saved my work and uploaded it to flickr then it was complete.
