Inverse Selections on Hillary


Here's a Photoshop tip about inverse selections (Selection>Inverse) in Photshop CS any version.

1. Find a pic of Hillary.
2. Find a pic of an old televisions set (this is one that I found and took myself).
3. Open the pic of the television set at full resolution (say 4X6 at 300 ppi).
4. Open the pic of Hillary.
5. Click on the move tool in the Tools palette.
6. Click and drag the picture of Hillary over the picture of the television set.
7. Select the pic of the Hillary with a selection tool.
8. Choose Edit>Transform>Scale.
9. Click and drag the picture of Hillary outward so it covers the screen (don't worry if you go over we'll take that off later).
10. Open the Layers palette and click on the layer with the pic of Hillary in it.
11. Slide the opacity slider down to about 20.
12. Click on a selection tool and then type in 2 for the feathering value at the top of the window.
13. Click and drag your selection tool so that Hillary fits nicely into it and the television screen.
14. Click on Selection>Inverse.
15. Press the Delete key.

You're done. Hillary now fits into the television set!
