Photoshop Assignment

Jerry Uelsmann

First, in class we are going learn how to photoshop two images together so they look like one cool image. Then I want you to take two photos of things to blend together. (Like create a real Weiner-Dog out of a hot dog and a dog).When you combine the images, they should look like the same image, from photoshopping them together change the lighting, consider a background, colour one to look like the other etc. etc. etc... Have fun with this. At least one photoshould be yours, you can find the other from the internet, but make sure the quality is "large" when you search.
