In this section we will see how to create two layered images, remove a background and resize the images, which will create a simple overlayed composite image.

Grace's A Level topic is "Endings" and she quickly became interested in the idea of capturing endings through photography.

Grace started by considering film, but soon realised that she preferred to turn to literature, as the artist needs to bring to life their own images inspired by the written word and ideas in the book.

Grace then started to choose books: she spoke to her English teachers. Mr Allen suggested " The Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad and "Brighton Rock" by Graham Greene. Grace initially chose "The Invisible Man" by H.G. Wells.

Grace then became interested in fairy tales and started to look more closely at earlier, darker versions of fairy tales, by writers such as the Brothers' Grimm.

Although not in itself a fairy tale, Grace turned to Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, as the book has a dream like, magical quality.... what Grace has created is itself, in my opinion, truly magical.

We hope her images will inspire you to having a go creating your photos or illustrations inspired by your favourite books

You'll find your photos here, when a batch of them from the camera have been uploaded.

You will need two photos saved together in an easy to find folder on your computer.
One photo of you, maybe in a costume, with as plain a background as possible. Greenscreen is ideal, but not entirely necessary. Even the example photo of Mr Darke here works fine…

And one photo of your chosen background where you’d like to place the cutout image.

When you have your two images ready, open Photoshop.

Drag the image of you to cut out (may be a greenscreen image) onto the Photoshop welcome screen…

Photoshop will give you a ‘remove background’ option. Click it.

It will remove the background, and look a bit like this after a few seconds…

Drag your chosen background image onto the photoshop canvas.

Initially, your background layer will be on top of of your cutout layer, something like this, which is no good!

# data[].attributes.body
Go to the layers panel (bottom right in Photoshop), and re-order the layers so the background is underneath your cutout image…

With both layers in place, you select a layer in the layer panel and resize the image in that layer, then do the same with the other layered image until it looks right.
