The document describes editing two photos in Photoshop by cutting out three people from one image and inserting them into the other image of a valley. The editor used the Quick Selection Tool to select the people, inverted the selection to remove the background, and created a new transparent layer to drag and drop the people into the valley photo in the correct position, making it appear as if the people were originally part of the scene.

2. Here are the two photos I wanted to
edit.
What I planned to do was to insert
the three people from the image on
the left, and insert them onto the
image below of Shyok Valley
To do this, I would have to create
a new transparent layer, and drag
it onto the women.
I opened the two images onto
Photoshop in two different tabs.

3. This screenshot shows my use of the Quick Selection Tool- I selected the
last three people on the right.

4. I clicked Select– Inverse, to
select the background of the
image.
Then, I deleted the
background,
leaving the transparent
background behind. The
checked layer is meant
to show the transparent
background.

5. I then went to Layer- New Layer, and created a new layer of the image people2.jpg.
I made the opacity 0%, so the background was completely transparent.

6. I dragged layer one into the Shyok Valley image, and placed it in the correct
place in the photo, so it looks like the people were originally part of the images.

7. This is the final image: I like the final effect- my use of advanced features
and layering in photoshop was successful.
