Stanley and Selection Tools

I used many different tools to create this after shot of Stanley. I went overboard, but still think the after is kind of cool. This is most certainly is a “Monet”. Remember the movie “Clueless”? They called something that looks good from afar but not so great close up a Monet.

First I used the quick selection tool to get rid of the background around Stanley.

The I opened up a sky picture I love and created a gradient with it and saved it.

I used the paint bucket tool to make it appear that Stanley is on the beach.

I don’t think he’s ever been to the beach before!

 

Have a great day!
