Begin "Fool The Eye" Project...

Today we will look at examples of PhotoShop photo manipulations where things were added to [or removed from] photographs -- sometimes for advertising, sometimes for "news", and sometimes to show a different "history".

This is a good example of a photo manipulation done for this photo from two different newspapers:


Next we will begin creating our own "Fool The Eye" images.  Put elements from different photographs into the same image without making the photo manipulation too obvious.  Some ideas include adding people or vehicles, removing something (person, power line, mailbox, etc.), changing the colors of objects or clothing, or changing the background.  Remember to consider things like lighting, film grain, and color when considering the changes.

Have fun!
