One question boss!

When i paste the sky into my original image it dosent cover the full image its quite small.

What might be the problem?

Thnx.

Your new sky is a smaller image (less pixels) then your original. Either choose a bigger new sky or try Free Transform to enlarge it.

hi gavin. do you have a photoshop introductory tutorial for beginners? if none, could you make one please. great vids by the way

[PhotoGavin]

Have a look on my website. Photoshop Essentials DVD covers Cropping, Levels, Selections and Layers. Perfect for beginners.

but gavin, i got a picture within a tree, how i'm gonna do that, i cant use Magic Want Tool cuz it doesn't take all the sky in it.

BTW, Great tutorials and simple to understand

Selecting trees is tricky. All those tiny gaps between the leaves make the magic wand almost impossible to use. Select trees the same way as you would hair. Look for tutorials on creating an Alpha Channel.

Great Vid :) I reckon this would have been easier (and quicker) if you put a mask on the Stone Henge Layer rather than cut it, but its whatever works best for you :D
