good to experiment with different ways of selecting items in order to be able to composite them together. Most of the time there is a way to get Photoshop to do most of the work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Selecting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To select the woman with wings I used <strong>Select &gt; Subject<\/strong>. I was moving fast so I didn&#8217;t notice that on the right some of the wing was not selected so now you can see clouds behind it. I could go back in and add to the election by choosing a selection tool (Rectangular Marqee, Lasso etc) and then hold down Shift (a + sign appears by the pointer) to add to the selection and going over the part I wanted to add. To remove from a selection, hold down Alt (Option in macOS) and a &#8211; sign appears by the pointer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the birds selecting subject didn&#8217;t work so I chose <strong>Select &gt; Sky<\/strong> and then checked the <strong>inverse<\/strong> box. This basically selects the sky behind the birds and then, when you click inverse, selects the birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the bottom cloud I was able to use <strong>Select &gt; Subject<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Masking and Copying to New Layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve selected what you want then there are two basic options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Create a layer mask from the selection: Click the new Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Layers Panel: <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"52\" height=\"46\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-1900-fa22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2563\/2022\/09\/image-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li>Copy the selection (Control\/Command + C) and then create a new layer and paste into the new layer.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally masking is more flexible but there may be times when you want to have multiple copies of the selection and pasting multiple times is a fast way to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: in the layer <strong>Properties<\/strong> you may see a <strong>Remove Background<\/strong> button which basically does the selecting and masking for you in one step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the three most used buttons at the bottom of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"404\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-1900-fa22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2563\/2022\/09\/Layer-Tools.png\" alt=\"Photoshop UI: Layer Mask, Adjustment Layer, New Layer\" class=\"wp-image-483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-1900-fa22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2563\/2022\/09\/Layer-Tools.png 404w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/mmp-100-1900-fa22\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2563\/2022\/09\/Layer-Tools-300x144.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composite images are images you make by combining multiple images.
