Demo Work

In this image I am going to create a leopard skin texture on this rhino's skin. First of all i got an image of a rhino and a peopard.

I then rotated and scaled the image so that the leopard had a basic fit to the rhino.

Then using the liquefy tool to push the leopard image into place so that it covered the rhino. I then patched up all of the blotches with the clone stamp tool. 

I then created a layer mask and used that to make the layers blend in.

Then by selecting the correct layer blending option, the layers blended together. And this is the result.

To create an under water scene I first needed to use hue and saturation on this garden image. The reason i chose this image was because of its gravely sandy base. It kind of looks like a sea floor. So by using hue and saturation I was able to make it look like underwater rocks.

Then I was able to create a gradient of blue so it looked like the deep blue see. 

To create the sun shafts I used the polygonal selection tool to select a triangle shape, then filled it with white and used the feather selection mode to make the triangle look softer. I then used the skew tool to angle the shafts properly, and then made the layer opaque so that it would look real. I got an image of the shark off the internet and used a layer mask to select the area I wanted and then used a blending mode to make it blend in with the sun shafts. The ripples at the top i created by using the opposite gradient of the ocean. And then by using a layer mask made it blend in with the ocean and made it look like it was fading away. I then used the ripple filter to make it look like the surface. I then used a old plane and blended it in with the background by making it very opaque. I then used the healing brush tool to get rid of the wire that was attached to it. This makes it look like it was sat on the bottom of the ocean floor.
