Horror Poster

First:
Open your images in Preview and decide which ones you want to use.  In particular choose one to make into your 'background' (you will use this to drag your other pictures into).

When you have chosen which you want to use (choose 3 or 4) highlight them and drag them into Photoshop (PS icon on bottom bar).  If Photoshop is already open go to - file - open.

Choose which picture you want as a background and go to - image - duplicate - and call this 'background'.  It is a good idea to duplicate all your images then you will have a copy of your originals.

Use a select tool in the vertical bar, third icon down.  I like the magnetic lasso tool but you have to be careful with this - the only way to stop it is to go back to the beginning until you get a tiny little 'o' at the point of the triangle, click it and cancel it.

Starting with the 'Magnetic Lasso tool' click on the object you wish to select then slowly take the triangle round, clicking as you go until you get back to the beginning and the little 'o' sign, click on this.

Go to -
File
Copy
Move tool (top icon)
go to the object you have just selected and wish to move and click and drag into the background file.

To change this object in anyway then go to
File
transform
and choose an option if you choose 'scale' make sure you hold down the shift key to keep it in proportion.

TOP TIPS
Keep the 'History' window open so you can go back step by step, and see what you have done,
Keep 'Layers' window open and click on the box of the layer you want to use.
Click on the move tool (top icon) to apply adjustments.

Useful tools and tips.

• Open layers and history from windows.

 

• Check size in image size

 

• Change your object in edit transform scale

 

• Use the magnifying glass at the bottom of the vertical tool bar to make objects easier to work on.

How to make a poster using Photoshop

• It's best to go to 'windows' and open 'layers' and 'history'.

History will allow you to see what you have done and delete the step before.
Layers will allow you to switch from picture to picture.

• Open all the files (or pictures) that you will be using in Photoshop.  

You can highlight and drag or if you are in Photoshop already then go to file - open.

• Choose which file you are putting the pictures into.  

Make sure it is portrait shape not landscape.  You can check the size of your files by going to : Image  - image size.

• To select something from one image to put in another there are a number of select tools.  

These are third down from left on tool bar.  You could choose: Lasso tool, Polygonal Lasso tool or Magnetic Lasso tool.  To make adjustments go to 'select' in the horizontal tool bar.

• To move an object from one file to another.  

After you have selected click on move tool (top tool) - go to file copy - and then click on object and drag from one file to another.

• To resize or change 

Go to  'edit' - 'transform' resize etc ...

• Neaten up your image by using the Eraser tool 

It looks like a rubber and is half way down vertical tool bar.

• To add TEXT 

Click on the 'T' in the vertical tool bar then click on the picture.  This will automatically open up a new layer. You can adjust the size, font and shape by going to 'edit' and transform'.
