A photo I took of our last snow fall in Feb. Used a mask on the layer and masked in a photo of spring of the same bush. Added a butterfly in Photobucket.

Chapter 2: Learn how
Photoshop sees and handles selections

1. To analyze an image to make the best selection
   
2. To work with Marquee, Elliptical, and Lasso tools


3. To use the Magic Wand and Quick Mask tools to make refined selections


4. The value of combining tools and techniques

With these tools and a combination of them, you can select just about any thing. These are just a few selections I made with a combination of several tools and then merged into other pictures.
