I love scary movies but I never can seem to sleep after watching them. I was thinking that it would be neat to make a photo edit of someone's pet that they keep in what seems like the middle of nowhere. You just don't want your car to break down near there!
The first thing you need is a couple of photos. I happened to have a few different ones that I have taken from trips that worked out great for this project. To Edit my photos I used Pixlr.

The first thing in the photo that I wanted to changed was the sky to be able to make it more ominous
1. Open your Background picture: Edit > Open
2. Open your Cloud picture: Edit > Open
3. I only wanted to use part of the cloud picture so I needed a new layer of it.
Use the Rectangular Marquee to trace around the area you want and then go to Edit > Copy and Edit >Paste to create the new layer.
4. Then we need to move the layer over to the original background. To do this go the layer box and drag the layer we wanted for our clouds to the Original Background.
5. My cloud photo was not wide enough. I used the transform button to make it larger. Edit > Transform. A blue Box with squares on each side will appear. Then stretch the photo with this feature.
6. First I turned off the clouds in the layer box by clicking on the check box. Then used the Tolerance tool (third tool in the tool box - looks like a wand) to highlight the sky in the background. You may have to play around with the tolerance level to get it right!
7. Then turn back on cloud layer by clicking the check box in the layer box and make sure that the cloud layer is highlighted in the layer box. You will notice the tolerance tool still there with a highlight of the sky. You may have to move around the cloud layer to make sure that it completely covers the highlighted area.
8. Go to Edit >Copy and Edit >Paste This will create the clouds as a layer in the same shape as the sky of the original background.
9. In the layers menu you can delete the original cloud photo by draging it to the waste basket.
1. Open your Background picture: Edit > Open
2. Open your Cloud picture: Edit > Open
