Blog 2-Lighting A Gigantic Tyra

The tutorial I chose was lighting a large elephant. In place of the elephant I used a large Tyra Banks.

This is the initial frame. I used the magnetic lasso tool to cut Tyra from a picture and transfer to the city scene.

I then manipulated the contrast, saturation, and hue so Tyra would be appear as dark as the shadows in the picture.
I then made copied the original Tyra layer and once again adjusted the hue, contrast, and saturation, only this time I lightened her to match the golden hues of the street and sky.

Finally, with the shaded Tyra on top, i created a layer mask and blended the darker image and lighter image together to create a Tyra that matched the lighting of the scene.
