Tips for Accomplishing Project 3
1) find images that are at least 1200 pixels on the shortest side
2) look for images that have people in similar positions
3) look for images with a light source that comes from the same side.
4) look for images that are similar in tone
5) duplicate important layers when necessary
6) save often

* Be considerate of who the celebrities are that you are choosing. What is their new identity when they are "mashed up".
