Triceratops and Jungle

The triceratops dinosaur photograph allowed me to learn a lot about photoshop. I learned how to utilize the magnetic lasso and the quick selection tools within photoshop. The magnetic lasso allowed me to select only the dinosaur and move it out of its original background. During this project I also learned how to download images of morguefile.com to utilize in photoshop. Lastly, I learned how to move the selected dinosaur image and place it on to a new background. Therefore, I was left with an image of the dinosaur in a jungle scene instead of the museum background. Using the curves tool within photoshop also allowed me to caste sun light on the dinosaur. This made the dinosaur appear more natural and that it belonged in the jungle background. Overall, I was pleased with the way that this diorama shot turned out.
