Surreal Turtle Step 1 I rarely sketch out my ideas, because blending sources this way is not very complicated, but it is important to have a feel of what you want to create, as well as the atmosphere, before you actually start working. Like with any image in which sources are being used, selections are the first stage. Below you can see the background sources and the main object, in this case, the turtle. Step 2 When an image is imported into photoshop, it's known as a Background Layer This means that there is no layer below that one. Step 3 The Pen Tool is my preferred tool for extracting an object, because it's a very versatile tool that once mastered can be used to accomplish almost anything. Step 4 Delete the original sky, like shown below, so that the new sky can be imported. Step 5 Once the original sky has been removed, select the new sky and use Ctrl+C to copy it, then go back to the desert background image and press Ctrl+V Step 6 Then go to Filter - Blur - Average Step 7 Step 8 Step 9 Step 10
