Sad Shack

I'm still trying out new tools in CS-5. I put a photo of crumpled paper over the house setting it at 49% luminosity. Getting the right side of the shed to match was a real chore. I had to colorize it to make it blend in better. I took the window and bench from the bench photo trying to make the window float over the wall. I added the text and used the "puppet warp found in the Edit menu and was able to move and warp each letter of the text. Loved that ability. I took the Whatchamacallit and warped him too after adding the hands and then put a gradient mask over both the Watcha and bench. Lastly, I used that great content fill set at 50% opacity to blend in the light areas in the trees behind the shed.

Cool experimanting - my suggestion on the floating window - you can use transform - distort - to drag your corners to match the perspective of the house so it would float at the right angle.
Good job.

It looks like you're making great strides with CS5! This looks marvelously plausible. I'm not at all sure I'd want to meet the whatchamacallit in his current form. Those outstretched arms seem just waiting to scoop up a tasty morsel walking by. Well done! --Melody
