On the beach.

Heres a pic I did a while back. I just found a Standard beach picture...and then found a hot babe.. who was not to mention completely naked...but for some unfound reason I shopped a black leather bikini on her. So all together I used three images to make this one. This image took me about oh...an hour or so to complete and still looks pretty good, despite the needed time to make minor adjustments. Here are my steps.

1. Find relevant pictures
2. Extract bikini and place it on model
3. extract model and place her in beach photo
4. adjust contrast/brightness of model, mess with color balance
5. create a new duplicate layer for her shadow...went to layer effects, blending options and gave her shadow layer a inner shadow and filled its opacity to 100% and messed with the angles until the entire layer was dark. Then turned layer opacity to about 30%.
6. Tweaked the angle of the shadow layer....Combined layers and saved.

Those are the basic steps...I erased some stuff here and there and played around with some filters...just little stuff thats pretty obvious to most.
