What I did was I thought of shopping the face of Chewbacca onto a picture posted on /board of a terrier buckled into a baby seat. I opened my browser and typed in ‘Chewbacca’ after 5 pages I realized that I was not going to be able to find a picture of Chewbacca’s face at just the right angle. So I gave up searching for that particular image and grabbed one of Chewbacca on the ice planet Hoth where he looks rather windswept and cold.
I then thought it would be patronizing, as this is a majority UK visited board, to then look for a recent image of London in the snow and ‘shop’ chewy onto it. So, I ‘googled’ for ‘London Snow’ and came across a site with the following picture;
I then set the feather tool to a threshold of 15 and selected the white area around Chewy. I then went to Menu- Select - Inverse and copied the Chewbacca image to my clipboard. I opened up the stolen image 'telephone_box_snow_02.jpg'and pasted the clipboard onto the .jpg. Again I selected the magic wand (Thanks Pas) tool, clicked outside the wookie and then went to Menu- Select - Inverse. I hit the delete key three times to chip away at the edge. Hit deselect. Selected the 'phone box' layer and navigated to Menu- Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur and set it to .05.
File - Save for Web and set the quality to 92, giving me a file size of 69.62, which really is taking the piss as far as optimization is concerned, and uploaded via the b3ta image hosting.
Enjoy!

Well personally I quite like the Catnipp tutorials
... and think they come across as interesting and informative.
But then, it's impossible to patronise me as I'm better than everyone else, so I don't worry about things like that.

Brilliant sir.
We'll see how much b3ta like a tutorial when I've finished my current work. It's over 500 layers right now and a good 30 hours of work. I'm sure a 5 page essay on how it was made will be as appreciated in just the same manner as this is.

I will. But so

See I know it's funny but
there are people on here who have hardly any skillz *blushes*. Even this pisstake contains useful stuff for the likes of me and Catnipp's explanation is like a revelation on the road to Domestos. Thank you.
