For this assignment, I chose to insert an enormously large cat into the painting Washington Crossing the Delware painted by Emmanuel Gottlieb Leutze.

To create this epic moment in history, I followed Jim Groom’s instructions for photoshop. I brought up the photo of the phat cat and the famous painting. I used the lasso tool and cut out the cat from the photo. I then put that cut-out into a new layer. I then copied and pasted the cat into the Delaware painting. I scaled the photo Image –> resize –> scale. I adjusted the size of the cat to fit nicely at the feet of Washington. I adjusted the appearance of the cat by adjusting the filter –> texture –> grain. I fooled around with the intensity and contrast to get the look I wanted.

More to come!
