How to Create a New Breed of Animal
- 1). Choose the two animals you want to merge in Photoshop, by going to "File" and then Click on "Open". Pick out the two animals you'd like to merge.
- 2). Select the first file you opened up in Photoshop, and go to the Tool Box. Select the Lasso Tool. Move the tool around the head and neck of the first animal, and be careful not to cut anywhere below the neck as this could make the merging more difficult. When you have done this, go to "Edit", and then Click "Cut". If you make an error using the "Lasso Tool", Click on "Edit", then on "Undo Lasso".
- 3). Go to the second image, and again use the "Lasso Tool" on the head and neck, and then go to "Edit" and Click on "Clear". To connect the head and neck of your first animal to the body of the second animal, go to "Edit" and Click on "Paste". The head and neck of the first animal should then replace the head and neck of the second.
- 4). Change the shape of the pasted head and neck by going to "Filter", and by then clicking on "Liquefy". You will see your newly pasted head and neck image appear. With "Liquefy" you can stretch any part of the image. "Liquefy" is a very impressive tool, and so be careful not to overdo things, but just make a few slight changes. By using the circle of the "Liquefy" tool you can go to the center of the head and move the circle upwards from just under the eye, which will give your creature's head a horned appearance. You can undo any change by clicking on "Cancel". You can make various other changes, and when you are happy, Click "OK".
- 5). Select "File" and then Click on "Save As". Choose the folder you want to save your image in, and name your image. In "Format", choose JPEG. Ignore the "File must be saved as a copy with this selection" instruction. Click "Save". In "JPEG Options," choose "Large File" for optimum quality, and then Click "OK". The file will be big, but you can reduce this later if you wish.
