Once again, a picture of my dear friend Meena, this time shamelessly taken from her Facebook profile (if she has any serious problems with this, I'll take this down and redo the graphic. But I don't think she will). I composited it with a picture of my cousins' backyard in Pittsburgh - with snow! I used the "Refining Selection with a Quick Mask" tutorial, since I liked working with that better. This experiment with masking certainly went better than my previous one, although there's still a little too much border around the image for me to be completely happy with it. Furthermore, "Color Match didn't really work extremely well with these two pictures, since the background was less contrasted than the added picture. To play with this, I converted the image to Grayscale, then to RGB, and gave both layers an individual Gradient Map, which allowed me to play with the shadows and highlights until they were a bit more evenly matched. I was basically happy with it at that point, but I felt like giving it a name.
