My Portfolio: Image Combining (P) by Dayna Elizabeth Spry

"I based this project off of the image combining project. I chose a picture of a mother cheetah and her cubs. The two images that are located in the picture are a picture of a dog tail and a pig nose. I first pasted the pig picture on the cheetah picture. Then I erased everything in the pig picture except for the nose. I then copied that layer. I scaled and rotated both of the pig noses to fit onto the mother cheetah and one of her cubs. I chose to put on this nose because it almost looks real. Then I pasted the picture of the dog tail. I erased everything around the tail then I used the Hue/Saturation Tool to change the tail color from silver to an orange/tan color to match that of the cheetah. Then I copied that layer. I scaled and moved the two tails and placed them on the mother cheetah and the cub with the pig nose. I chose this project because it shows a way to combine images. I prepared a fake article for this combining. 'New breed discovered in the Rain Forest. The "Cheetah" has developed a nose like a pig. This allows them to only smell things close up. The "Cheetah" has also developed a dog-like tail. We are not sure how this evolution occurred, but we are searching closely now for any additions to other species. Since this breed of cheetah is not far from the original, we are calling this species Cheettog.' "
