The student watched a YouTube video on how to add a person from one photo into a new photo using selection tools in Photoshop. They took a photo of their cousin practicing a parachute jump and a photo of their dad at a national park. Following the video, they used selection tools to cut out the cousin and parachute and place them into the photo of their dad, then adjusted colors to blend the added image.

I did not use a Lynda tutorial because the few that I watched all seemed to assume that I
had more prior knowledge of Photoshop than I actually do. I watched a video on YouTube called
“How to Put a Person into a New Photo.” This video walked you through the step by step
process of selecting the part of the image you wanted to add to a different photo, and how to edit
the piece to look like it belongs once you moved the image. So I took two photos I two from my
family’s vacation out west and put them together. The first picture is of my cousin doing a
practice jump for the Air Force Academy graduation, the second is of my dad at Canyon Lands
National Park. I used to quick selection tool as well as the magnetic lasso tool to select my
cousin and his parachute and move them into the picture of my dad. Then I adjusted the
brightness and contrast so that the colors of my cousin’s picture would blend better with the
colors of the picture I had added him to.
