Bad Kitty Photo-Edit

I made this photo-edit instructable in honor of the fast approaching Halloween - this is a new take on the classic "spooky halloween cat."

This instructable will cover:

1. Making the severed finger

2. Placing it in the original image

3. Adding blood

4. Using filters and color adjustments to make the photo look spooky

Tools: Adobe Photoshop

Time: One hour

Step 1 Severed Finger

1. Start with a photo of a finger. I couldn't find one in the correct orientation for inserting into the kitten photo, so I took a picture of my own finger for this purpose.

2. Use the "Pen Tool" to make a path around the finger, and right click "Make Selection." Select a feather radius of 0, then delete everything outside of the selection. This will leave you with a roughly severed finger.

3. To make it more realistic, we need to add the flesh. Use a photo of raw beef, and cover the end of the finger, then erase the picture of the beef until there is an oval covering the end of the finger. (See photographs)

4. Use the paint brushes to draw a rough bone extending from the severed end of the finger.

The severed finger is done and ready to be added to the original photo!
