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
