  1. In Photoshop, when you are using the MOVE tool, make sure that the boxes next to “Auto Select: Layer” and Show Transform Controls” are checked in the tool settings bar just below the menu.
  2. Skip the “Birds” portion of the tutorial (unless you know how to install and use brushes)
  3. To combine images, use the tabs on the working window. You can drag one image to the other tab and it will open the other image. Then drop the image onto it.
  4. Too use the brush on the mask, the foreground color needs to be set to black. Look at the bottom of the tools palette to set it.
  5. All the files used are royalty free.
