Photomontage

The butterfly picture is the picture I took. I tried to make it look like someone is sketching a picture and it is coming to like, but it didn't really turn out that way. I took the picture of the hand off the internet and edited it to make it look darker. I turned both the easel and the sketch so they would match up when put on each other. The sketch had to have a lot of alterations to add perspective and to make it look like an actual sketch. This photomontage turned out better than I thought it would.

I took a picture of a book and tried to make it look like there were birds coming out of the book made out of the pages. I took bird silhouettes off the internet and used the selection tool to make a layer mask over a picture of a book page I also took off the internet. I used the burn tool to make the book page look darker so it would look sort of like the actual book pages. The background was just a picture of dark wood that I blurred in some areas so it would draw the attention away from the book. It didn't go so well, I was still trying to learn how to use GIMP and I kept messing it up and having to undo everything I did.

I took the picture of the bottle and the background from the internet. There was another smaller ship inside the bottle and I used to clone stamp to take it out. I used a layer mask to take the sky out of the picture I actually took of the bridge. I used to burn tool to make the bridge look darker so it would match the background picture. Overall it turned out better than I thought it would since I was using GIMP but I feel like it would've turned out better if I had Photoshop.
