Overview

For my artifact I decided to insert Einstein and JFK into a Collegetown Bagels scene. All of the steps
below were performed using the Gimp color picker, bucket fill, scale tool, and gray scale utility.

Einstein

The initial Einstein image I started with.	Einstein Contour generated using Image Scissors.
Einstein Mask generated using Image Scissors.	Einstein Mask with body removed via Gimp.
Empty Einstein Mask with green background color. I found this necessary because I needed to make Einstein's body stick out from the background.	Empty Einstein mask layered over original image.
Einstein extracted from green background.

JFK

The initial JFK image I started with.	JFK Contour generated using Image Scissors.
JFK Mask generated using Image Scissors.	JFK Mask with body removed via Gimp.
Empty JFK Mask with green background color. I found this necessary because I needed to make JFK's body stick out from the background.	Empty JFK mask layered over original image.
JFK extracted from green background.

Artifact

Original Collegetown Bagel image.	Collegetown Bagel scene in black and white.
Final Artifact. Einstein waiting to order coffee, and JFK waiting for his Bagel.

Extra: Abraham Lincoln

Initially I started using an Image of Abraham Lincoln, but decided that he didn't fit in the final Artifact.

The initial Lincoln image I started with.	Lincoln Contour generated using Image Scissors.
Lincoln Mask generated using Image Scissors.	Lincoln Mask with body removed via Gimp.
Empty Lincoln Mask with green background color. I found this necessary because I needed to make Lincoln's body stick out from the background.	Empty Lincoln mask layered over original image.
Lincoln extracted from green background.	Lincoln extracted, and flipped horizontally to fit CTB image.
Original artifact with Lincoln - Not too natural looking.
