Ducky Undressed!

Ducky was undressed bit by bit, first eye by eye by using the selection tools in Photoshop, and then the mouth.
Afterwards it's whole yellow body was selected by using the magic wand and increasing the 'tolerence' number to 100% because the magic wand works by colour. The right eye was selected using the feather tool which makes the selection softer looking.

The different parts of the body become layered which you can see in the layer/history boxes.

When the bits of the duck were put into the new file, it's body was redressed again, but because the image has not been flattened yet, it's different layers can still be seen in the history box.

In the end, a picture was captured of the final image and the history box to show the work done by myself and then posted onto this blogger. The picture was captured by pressing shift/apple then 4, and then double clicked on.

The most difficult aspect of this for me was trying to save the image as a jpeg and uploading it onto the blogger after I finally got hold of my password again!
