Combining the images
For this project, you'll use several methods to combine the images.
Using Copy and Paste
1
If necessary, click the tab of the rooster image, ps0402.psd, to make it active.
You can have many documents open at once in Photoshop, but only one of them is active at any
given time.
2
Choose Select > All to select the entire image. This creates a selection marquee
around the outside edge of the image. You can learn more about selections in
Lesson 5, “Making the Best Selections.”
3
Choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected image area. The image is now in your
computer's clipboard, ready to be pasted into another document.
4
Select the tab of the barn picture, ps0401.psd, to make it the active document. Choose
Edit > Paste to place the image of the rooster into the picture of the barn.
The rooster appears on top of the barn, and the background surrounding the rooster
blocks part of the image. Both these items will be addressed in future steps in this lesson.
The image of the rooster is now in
the middle of the barn.
5
Select the tab of the rooster image, ps0402.psd, and choose File > Close to close the
i le. Do not save any changes.
Dragging and dropping to copy an image
In this section, you'll drag and drop one image into another.
1
Choose Window > Arrange > 2-up Vertical to view both the cow (ps0403.psd) and
the barn (ps0401.psd) pictures at the same time. The Arrange features allow you to
determine how windows are displayed on your monitor. The Tile features allow you
to see all the open images.
