This means that the background is transparent. When we are doing this, you should hopefully see that after deleting part of the image, you see a checkered pattern. When we undertake the project, one of the first things we’ll do will be delete the background around my arm and apple in the original image. To work with layers and putting together different images, one very important thing to watch out for is transparency! You move around layers to get the result you want. The same theory applies to putting together different images or collages. On the right, the square layer is over the circle layer, so you can see the square overlapping the circle. On the left, the circle layer is above the square layer, so you can see the circle overlapping the square. In the image below, you will see a circle and square which overlap. The layer with my arm will be put on top of the beach layer. In our project, my arm holding the apple is on one layer and the beach is on another layer. That is basically how layers work, you can move around parts of different images to put together one image from several. Now, if you put an A4 page on a post-it you will see an A4 page only, because it is covering the post-it. If you put a post-it note on an A4 page, you will see a post-it on an A4 page. In my case, I will be using Photoshop, but if you don’t have photo editing software, there are lots of free options out there, is just one of many. In this first example, over the next couple of posts, we will be taking a photo of my arm holding and apple and changing the background to that of a beach. If you haven’t already done so, please read the earlier post below:
