PSE9 Part 2 - Lesson 1

Back to elements 9 classes at LVS  This class is about selections.  I used these two photos from the Butterfly conservatory near Guelph.  They are both of Owl  Blue Morpho Butterflies which have the most beautiful blue on the inside of their wings but its very difficult to see when they land as they immediately fold their wings together.  The nursery at this conservatory didn't have glass so I was able to get a reasonably clear photo of a newly hatched Blue Morpho Butterfly on the nursery floor with its wings open.

First was to select the butterfly resting using the Magic Extractor. It took a little to clean up the edges

Next was to make a snapshot composite

 I decided the first selection should be added to this exercise using the copy and paste instructions and then redoing the steps to add a second snapshot

In doing the initial selection in the lesson with the brush and the rose photo I ended up with a number of pink lines showing through after doing the colorized version of the rose.  There were no unselected bits in the rose that I could see -- the ants were only around the edges.
