So i'm doing GCSE art this year, and for my third unit, i have decided to use Photoshop. I chose the option of music and how it can be shown in art form. My sub-topic for this piece is war, and i have chosen the song 'One' by Metallica. The problem is, i have copied an image of James Hetfield and don't know whether it looks better 'camoflagued' or 'normal..



Camoflaged



Normal ( I know it's choppy )

Which would you prefer?

select the strap area drag your lasso selection over the camo area that looks best for that area> copy> place your selected back on strap again>paste.
there are numerous ways but that should get you started

you may want to feather your selection by 2 or 3 pixels

play with the opacity also or fill in your layers palette to give it a nice blend
