Original images:

Masks generated by my intelligent scissor:

2. Procedure: (editing tool: Photoshop)

(1) Create a background layer using “Color Overlay” and “Gradient Overlay” in “Add a layer style” function, apply brush tool to the central part to create a light spot, and use “Lens Correction” in the Filter menu to create Vignette effect.

(2) Cut the zebra, zebra’s coat, and ironing board by using the masks from my intelligent scissor.

(3) Use the white/gray parts of the zebra’s coat to cover the black stripes by the patch tool, put it on the zebra, and create the blending effect of the border by the eraser tool.

(4) Rotate the original zebra’s coat, cut it into pieces (apply scaling, distortion, and perspective transform to the pieces), and assemble them on the ironing board. Eraser tool is also used to eliminate improper pixels.

(5) Use the masks from the intelligent scissor to create the shadows: apply distortion transform, adjust the opacity of the shadows with gradient overlay, and use Gaussian blurring on the upper parts of the shadows. The brush tool and the eraser tool are also used to add/delete the shadows.
