How to use Layers 
Stephen Heywood
Firstly I opened Photoshop and accessed the two images I scanned. I arranged these images so 
they were both visible side by side. My next step was to set the ‘feathers’ tool to 4px to soften 
the edges when using the ‘magnetic lasso’ tool.
This was used to outline and cut the area on the image so only the object I wanted was used. 
After I highlighted the object I wanted using the ‘magnetic lasso’, the area would then be 
identified by ‘marching ants’.
The marching ants effect is an animation technique often found in selection tools. It helps to 
distinguish the selected border from the image background by animating the border. The border 
is dashed line where the dashes seem to walk slowly.
I then used the ‘move tool’ to drag the object 
onto my second image. I then used the ‘free 
transform’ to rotate, scale up or down and to 
move around. My final image involves three 
images involved in one end product. I edited 
the bottom left image in the photo to make 
the crowd look faceless. I then cropped to 
make it look smart and professional.
