Refining edge tool

Composting with Silhouette

The easiest techniques were creating the text and surrounding effects, and the hardest was getting the gradients on the clipping mask layer to work and positioning them correctly.

I used the quick selection tool to remove the tiger and myself from the background image, and the scale tool to make the scale accurate. I used the distort tool to give the tiger's shape more movement and made a small brush stroke to connect the feet to the edge of the shadow. after lowering the shadows opacity and blurring the edges a bit, i made an image displacement and then merged all the layers and made it black and white.

Shadow Dancing

i used the magic wand tool to separate the girl from the white background, and then move it to the other image. After turning the picture into a silhouette an blurring the edges, i created a smaller shadow along the ground with the brush tool.
