I have this image

Image


and what I would like to achieve is to add two more images on the shells. A photo of a singer on the largest shell (just his/her face because of the small size) and his/hers country flag on the left shell.

Is that doable but not too difficult? Can you give me a hint, pretty please? <3 :tyspin

It's definitely doable. You will need to open the images you want to add as layers. Cut out the parts you want to keep, scale them, rotate them to fit and then export it.

That is quite a small image. If you would have this graphic in a higher resolution it to work on it, it would be easier and probably come out better.

But if you start with an image that's not too large to begin with, it can still come out nice. There's alwayys sharpening and such to make it better even at small scales. (otherwise how would we do forum sigs)

thanks molly, it looks cute :)
i wanted to add two images on the (opera) shells below though, so that they "fit" within the shells themselves.
