Fox President: Photoshop Practice

We were doing so practicing in photoshop and one of the assignments was to blend to images together, so basically we were dragging one image on a different background.

Steps for blending images:
Step 1: Open photoshop
Step 2: Open both images you have chosen on different files.
Step 3: Drag the image you want to put on a different background and drag it onto the other file keep dragging until you are on the other file.
Step 4 Let go.
Step 5: You might get warnings telling you that the images resolutions are different, click yes. 
Step 6: Drag your mouse over to the layers and drag the lock thats looking your layers into the trash.
Step 7: Use the quick select tool to cover the whole image you want to move. Make sure you get the main structure of the image (In this case the fox). Its okay to get a bit outside of the image if you have fur or ears you want to add in later. 
Step 8: Click Refine Edge (Can be found on the top bar menu, right next to Auto-Enhance.) (Refine Edge shows your photo on different background's such as on black, overlay, and so on.) 
Step 9: Turn on Smart radius and increase the radius to smoothen the soft spots and harden the sharp edges.
Step: 10 Increase the contrast and shift edge, you can also decontaminate colours. 
Step: 11 Click ok, which creates a new layer which is now your mask.
Step: 12 Go to image, adjust, exposure. 
Step: 13 Increase the exposure if you are unhappy with the lightness on your image. (If the two images still appear to have different lighting)
