Poker
With Dogs

CSE 576 - Project 1, Intelligent Scissors
To make this artifact, I used two original images, 6 masks
cut with intelligent scissors, and a number of photoshop
features (layers, opacity changes, "dry brush" filter,
cloning tool, skew transformation). The original images
(in shrunken form to save space) and a detailed description of
the creation process follow. For a more coherent picture,
I've included a picture of the intelligent scissors contours
rather than the masks.

found with a Google image search on "dog poker".

A posed picture I took of myself with a digital camera (left).
To begin, I created a mask of my silhouette
with the intelligent scissors, and used it to cut and
paste myself in with the dogs as a new layer (right).

 |
|
Next I cut out the back of the Bulldog's chair
using three masks from the intelligent scissors program (below).
|
I then cut out the right leg of the chair
and the Ace being passed beneath the table using masks
from intelligent scissors.
I then layered all the cut-outs with me on
the bottom to make it look like I was sitting in the
chair.
Finishing touches:
- I used the clone tool to "clone-out" the
pieces of the Bulldog
that my image is on top of
- I skewed the Ace so that it was at the better angle to
fit into my hand.
- I applied the "dry brush" filter to my image
to make it look like I was
part of the drawing (at least sort of).
- I added a top layer with 25% opacity in which I added
some lighting
effects (light on my hat, shoulders, and right
knee). |
