The original photo is part of my assigment this week for a pet photography course I am taking.
For the before shot I used white Seamless paper as the background, placed Cindy's toy on top of the window ledge asking Graham to tap the window to keep her attention focused. I achieved the final result by cutting Cindy out from the white seamless paper in Photoshop using the Quick Mask mode. PSE 5 to 7 doesn't have quick mask, however these tools are all free of charge and can be installed from HERE. Then I moved the cutout onto a new background I'd previously painted in Painter, added a picture tube of the soldier from Paint Shop lowering the opacity of the layer enough to blend in. After this I flattened, resized, made a Gradiant map for the sepia effect.
PSE is here.I used layers, tons of layers, a basic layer tutorial is HERE.
