It's not every day that you get the chance to do something that you actually like doing, and I don't mean like in the sense that you like eating cake, you do that because its tasty not because you truly want to sit down and do nothing but eat cake for half an hour.

Today I managed to sit down for half an hour and had great fun editing a photo of dougal taken at college many moons back. The original photo had dougal peering into camera and ewan sticking his great big long fingers up behind his head, and in previous editing sessions when I was just starting out with photoshop I managed to get rid of his fingers and that was fine.

However I looked at the picture yesterday and thought, you know what? That picture needs a hat, and further more its a flat cap it needs. So today I thought I'll have a go at that, it'll probably turn out really daft and obvious that it's been edited but what the hell, it'll keep me busy for a bit.

A swift google image search later and I was in proud possession of an image of a flat cap, albeit with ears(?). I nipped into photoshop and set about cutting off the bits of the hat I didn't want or need, and then tracing round the outside of the hat so I could place it carefully upon dougal's noggin. Having successfully managed to blend it in slightly, so it didn't stick out quite so much, it was just left to possibly add a final touch to finish the image off.

I'm quite happy with the result which can be found here. The original, before edit is here.
And that's quite enough of that sillyness for one day, all comments welcome, I'm off to do something else
