Photoshop: Digital Scratch Art 2
Using Images
Go to Stock.xchng to find an image of an animal that you will use for scratch art. I chose a lion.
Open the image in Photoshop. Make sure you can see both the image and the scratch art windows.
Ctrl+T to Transform. This will show the image handles. Pull the corner handles to stretch and shrink the image.
Make sure the lion image is under the black layer.
Opacity. Turn down the opacity on the black layer to see the lion image underneath.
Eraser Tool = Scratching away black. Select the eraser tool, choose a brush style and start scratching. Make sure to follow the direction of the hair when you scratch. Try using long strokes and short strokes to get the texture you are looking for.
Opacity. Turn up the opacity to see the black scratched layer.

Photoshop: Digital Scratch Art 1
Go to Stock.xchng to find an image of an animal that you will use for your scratch art.
Here are the tools and palettes we will be using in this project.
Create a New Document. Go to File > New. Make sure that the setting are the same as below.
Add a Gradient to the Background Layer with the Gradient tool.
Once you have selected the Gradient Tool and picked the gradient colors, click and drag from the center of the background. This will apply the gradient to the background. Reposition, click and drag to remake your gradient.
Create a New Layer by clicking on the New Layer button in the Layers Palette.
Fill the top layer with black using the Fill Bucket. Make sure the Foreground color is black!
Select the Eraser Tool. The eraser tool works just like the paint brush. You can use different brush style to scratch away the black.

Photoshop: Twin Personalities
Tools and Palettes used in the Twin Personality project.
1. Take two images. They both need to have a still background and two different positions. The reason for this is to have the same viewpoint in both photos.
2. Open both images in Photoshop. Make sure you can see both windows.
3. Using the Selection Tool, click and drag one image into the other image.
4. Masking Layer. You can see below the Masking Layer button this will add a Masking Layer. You can see the Mask added to Layer 1 in the picture below. When you start to paint away the masking layer, make sure the mask is selected not the image.
5. Paint Brush Tool. In order to mask out the background you will use the paintbrush tool and black/white color. Painting with black will reveal the layer underneath. Painting with white will conceal the layer underneath. It is also good to use a hard edged brush style. You can see below the brushes palette to pick from.
6. Brush Size. You can see I turned the visibility off in the Background layer so I could see what I am masking away in the top layer. I also am using a large, hard edged brush to paint most of the background quickly. An easy way to change the brush size quickly is to use the bracket keys on your keyboard - [ ].
7. Zoom in and out. I decided to zoom in by using Alt+MMB(middle mouse button) so I could get a closer look at the figure. I used a smaller brush size to get into the smaller section of the image.
I have finished masking away the background. If you make a mistake and mask something out you wanted to keep in the picture, just swap the color to white and you can paint the image back in. In the image below I still have the visibility turned off in the bottom layer.
8. Turn on the visibility. Looks pretty good, but I am going to tweak the position of the figure laying down.
9. Selection arrow. Make sure the top layer is selected. Click and drag with the Selection tool to move the figure into the position I want.
