Alien Up-duction

Alien Up-duction

This is the true story of what really happened to Carl Fredricksen and his dog, Dug. You didn't actually believe that balloon cover story did you? Carl did go Up, but it was evil aliens with a devious plot.


I've used Carl's house in this photo edit, but you can insert your own home or anything else that you prize. I'm using Photofiltre, a free image editing tool available at http://photofiltre.free.fr/. To see the finished, full size "Up-duction" please click here.

The first step is to choose your images. I'm using Carl's house, and a really cool image of a UFO floor lamp made by Jason Dietz that I keep wishing I owned. If needed, crop the image of your house by tracing around it using the Selection Tool and Polygon or just fill in the space around it using the Fill and Paintbrush tools with green from the color palette.

Next, right click on your house, select Copy. Right click on your UFO image and select Paste. Right click on the pasted image and select Paste Options. Check the Transparency box and set the Tolerance to 20. Right click on the image again, and select Transform, Free. Using the available options, adjust the image size, position, and angle. You can see the settings I chose in the included screenshot. Once yours is sized and positioned properly, click Ok.
