4. Back in Photoshop, paste in the ghost by pressing CTRL - V

 5. If your ghost is too big and you want to change its size, we have to Transform it. To do this, press CTRL - T. 

 6. When done re-sizing your ghost, move it where ever you want to put it. Then, click either ENTER on your key board or the check mark at the top of the screen. 

 7. If there is black that is blocking the background, you can use a Select Tool (Magic Wand or Quick Selection) to get rid of it.

 8. Select the black with one of your selection tools.

 9. Click Backspace on your keyboard. 

 10. De-select by clicking CTRL-D.

7. Ta dah! You're done with your first ghost. Now do this 4 more times so you have 5 ghosts haunting the castle. 

 8. Remember to always do a normal Save to have a .PSD version of your work, and then do a Save As to make it a .JPEG. 

 9. Post the final .JPEG image to your blog. 

 9. If you did not post your color changing image last time, please do so today!

In order to make it easier for you to look at the value, here is a photograph in gray scale. The hills appear to fade into the distance and they become lighter as they get farther away. Why do you think they do that? Gray scale photograph This picture clearly shows how objects fade in the distance. The hills in the background appear lighter in value.

Spot Healing Brush Tool

  The Spot Healing Brush Tool is the default "healing"  and can be used to clone areas from an image and blend the pixels from the sampled area seamlessly with the target area.

The chicken pox marks are no longer there!  When using the Spot Healing Brush tool, some things to keep in mind are...     1) Make the brush about the same size as the mark/spot you are trying to remove     2) Use single clicks with your mouse- dragging it can lead to weird color distortions Try using the Spot Healing Brush tool on the following images... 1) Oh no!
