Earth and eye photoshop task

This was our frst lesson of using photoshop. We were all put into pairs and had to make the earth the iris. First, we opened photoshop and made the sheet we were working on A5 and then turned it around to make it landscape. We then when on Flikcr and found a the picture of the eye and the picture of the earth. To copy and paste both pictures into photoshop, you press cmd - shift - 4. When copied into photoshop you layer both pictures.

Then we cropped the earths background so just the earth was left. Then taking not of how big the iris was, we made the earth exactly the same size to make it look effective. We used the blending tool which made the earth blend in with the iris, e.g. the it made the earth fainter so you could still see the pupil. Then me and my partner made the skin around the eye black and white and made the iris a bluse colour, mainly so the iris could really stand out.
