Lab #4 Altering images with GIMP

Select an area to be replaced

First you'll need to select the area that you want to replace with the Mt. St. Helens image.

Do this until you've selected all of the sky:

Next, you'll be retrieving the Mt. St. Helens photo and pasting it into the Red Square photo...
