1. Combining images

1-1 Open the image to be processed.
 Open the image to be processed. Combine the images of the woman facing the screen to make her image appear as if it were reflected on the monitor screen in the other image.



Before

1-2 Duplicate the layer.
 Slect [Duplicate Layer] in the [Layer] menu. In the dialog box that appears, enter reflect in the [As] field and click [OK].


1-3 Reverse the copied image.
 Make sure that the reflect layer is selectde. Select [Flip Horizontal] from [Transform] in the [Edit] menu to make a horizontally mirrored image.


1-4 Reduce the transparency of the layer.
 The reflect layer must be transformed into the shape of the monitor screen in the background layer. To facilitate this operation, make the reflect layer semitransparent temporarily. To do this, in the [Layers] palette, set [Opacity] to 50% for the reflect layer.


1-5 Change the shape of the image into the shape of the monitor screen.
 Select [Distort] from the [Transform] in the [Edit] menu. Small squares are displayed at the four corners of the image and at the centers of the four sides. To change the shape of the image into the shape of the monitor, drag these squares. Note that you need to transform the shape of the image into a shape that is slightly larger than the size of the monitor you can delete any unnecessary areas later. Once you have determined the shape of the changed image, click [Accept] on the [Tool Options] bar to confirm the changed shape.

1-6 Select the monitor screen area.
 Slect the [Polygonal Lasso Tool] from the toolbox. To select the monitor screen area click the four corners surrounding the monitor screen in the background layer of the image.

1-7 Reverse the area you selected and delete any unwanted areas.
 Make sure that reflect layer is selected. Select [Inverse] in the [Select] menu, and press the [Backspace] key to remove any unwanted areas from the image.

1-8 Adjust the colors in the image reflected in the monitor.
 On the [Layers] palette, reset [Opacity] to 100% for the reflect layer. Select [Hue/Saturation] from [Adjustments] in the [Image] menu. In the dialog box that appears, set [Hue] to 0, [Saturation] to -20, and [Lightness] to -20, and click [OK].
