The next step is to pick a photo of your choice. You could choose from different location to pick an image such as your camera roll, creative cloud, dropbox, library, facebook, and stock. You can also take a picture on the spot. Make sure it’s decent quality for best results.

Here is an example on how to merge pictures. Here you see a picture of a lion, what we did first was cut out the lion with the cut out tool making sure to only get the lion’s body and not the landscape it lays on.

Once we cut out the lion from its natural habitat we found an image of Lincoln High School and added it using the plus button on the right of the canvas and placed the lion on the front lawn of the school.

With the knowledge we gained from using the application we used the same steps to add another lion to the front of Lincoln High School to represent the Lincoln Lions!
