This weekend I took a backyard photo safari.  As I assembled the images a story of my past life as a wife and mother of two young daughters revealed itself.  For DS106 Visual Assignment 426, Is that a ….GHOST! I decided to use one of the photos of an abandoned swing set to produce a new image of my daughters haunting their old playground equipment.

Little Halloween Ghosts

This was easy to make now that I have more experience with my photo editing software, Adobe Photoshop Elements 12.  Using an old family photo I had taken proudly showing off their Halloween costumes, I used the magic lasso tool to select what I didn’t want and deleted it from the scene. I copied the ghosts only picture as a new layer into the swing set photo.  I sized the girls appropriately for their ages in relationship to the size of the swing set.  Then reduced the opacity of the little ghosts down to 60%. New picture and assignment complete. 3 Stars for me.
