Original Cassowary	Original Giraffe	Original Matamata Turtle
Layers	Cassogirafurtle
Steps I started by taking the cassowary, giraffe, and matamata turtle images and cutting out the background and excess body to get the parts I wanted to use (head, body, and shell) using a layer mask(refining it using the paint brush - black) Next, I took all the images and using the transform tool I fit them together into one creature Using the clone tool I attempted to blend the new parts into each other a little better Then I created adjustment layers for all 3 parts in order to color balance all of them to try to get the separate images to have the same color tone On the cassowary using the erase tool I erased the color balance on same of the parts that needed to be colored like the eye and parts of the beak I continued to blend the images by using the DODGE tool to brighten different areas As the giraffes in my background photo did not have shadows, I did not use the burn tool to give a shadow to the cassogirafurtle Finally, I duplicated all my layers - hid the originals - and merged them into one layer making it visible and naming it cassogirafurtle Inserted a background image, adjusted cassogirafurtle size as nesscesary, and added my watermark

Crocofrog	Layers
Original Frog	Original Crocodile
Steps I started by taking the crocodile image and cutting out the background and excess body using a layer mask (refining it using the paint brush - black) to get just the croc head. Then, using the clone tool I cloned away the croc eye and added the head onto the frogs body and used the clone tool to blend the croc's neck into the frog's Creating an adjustment layer I colour balanced the croc's head to match the frog's body, but erased the mouth and teeth from the adjustment layer as they should not be green. I had to create an additional adjustment layer for colour balancing because some of the neck was missed on the first one I continued blending the two images by using the DODGE tool to brighten parts of the connection. Using the BURN tool I added extra shadow on the frog layer to match the new head I duplicated my 4 layers - hid the originals - and merged them into one layer making it visible and renamed the layer crocofrog Selecting the new layer I used the selection tool I masked it to cut out the background Next, I added a new background layer in and inserted the crocofrog into it adjusting its size as necessary Lastly, I added my watermark
