Pixel Explosion Effect
I can use photoshop to create an explosive effect to an image.
2 images of a single person 1 image of choice. Total of 6 images
Remove a person from an image or use a picture that has a very plan background for two of the required images. The third image will be an image of your choice, remember it needs to read well. Use the tools Photoshop has provided to make the explosive pieces look believable.

- Make two copies of the image you are removing yourself from.
- Use the Lasso Tool to select the area you want to remove, you don't have to be specific with your selection.
- From the menu bar select Refine Edges, you will open a new dialog box and you can preview your edits.
- Change the radius so the edge of the object being cut out is detected.
- Play with Smooth and Contrast. - Feather will make your edge very soft, I don't suggest using it.
- Once you have the image how you like it, select OK, now you will have to inverse the selection otherwise you will delete the object.
- If you loose any of your objects you can use the second copy of the image to bring back the lost areas.
- Selection tools - Lasso Tool (L) or Magic Wand (W)
- Move tool (M)
- Eraser (E)
- Deselect (Cmd+D) get rid of marching ants
- Undo/Redo (Cmd+Z)

- Hold your Shift key to constrain the image while resizing the image.
