A Place I'd Rather Be...
- Find 2 background images from a place that you would rather be. (ideas- beach, foreign country, sporting event, on the arm of your favorite celebrity, etc. )
- Grab a partner and have them use a digital camera to take 2 photos of you, each with a different pose. Try to take your photo in an area with a solid color background (this will make editing much easier).
- Go to http://pixlr.com/e/ and click open image from computer.
- Open your first background photo.
- Click on the layer menu at the top of the page and choose open image as new layer then upload the photo of yourself.
- Use the magic wand and eraser tools to begin clearing the background of your selfie.
- After you finish removing all of the background, choose Edit (whenever you click off the image a prompt will appear asking you to save changes, click yes ONLY if you are finished), then Free Transform.
- Resize and move the image until it realistically appears as part of the background image.
- Choose File then Save when finished. Note- Once you save it, it can no longer be edited as separate layers.
- Follow the above steps to create your second image.
