Creation of Choice Book Cover

I created a book cover for In the Forest Of The Night. Not that I don’t like the original cover, I could just picture it different. I started out getting a photo from Google.com I typed in forest wallpapers. I found the one I liked, I did the same with the tiger, I found wallpaper with a cool tiger and cut him out of that photo by selecting just the tiger, I did that by using the magnetic lasso tool. I then dragged him to the forest by setting the two photos side by side. He started out tiny but I transformed him so he was bigger by going to image and selecting transform I held ALT why doing that so he wouldn’t end up misshapen. I looked for a girl in a forest wallpaper, somewhat fantasy like. I found the one with the girl in the black dress which I found very pretty and thought it would fit in well cause the book is about vampires. I then changed the vibrance to 75% and changed the hue and saturation. Also the levels and curves were tampered with a wee bit. I used a red rose stamp that I extracted from a photo by googling red rose (I used the lasso tool to select the rose image, I then when to the tool bar and hit edit and then Define Brush Preset. I named it rose and went back to my book cover and went to brush and hit the brushes selection and my rose was in there) and put it under my text. My text is the Title of the book and the author’s name. When extracting pictures and putting them on the background I use the clone stamp tool to cover the parts that don’t fit so lets say the tiger came from a green background so when I put him on the forest he had green around his foot, so I would use the clone tool to make it match the background I want, but that only works when its one layer. So I made them all the same layer. It wasn’t how it was supposed to be, but its all I could think of to do.
