Re: Photoshop tutorial

First,

I'm sure there are atleast a few other ways to do this BUT, here's how I
would do it:

If the 'burned hole' is on it's own layer simply activate that layer, take
the magic wand and select the whole select "paste into" from the edit menu.
Now assuming you had the image you wanted to go into the hole already
copied to the clipboard ('cause I was too dumb to say that step first like
I should have) you will not only be able to paste another image into your
'hole' but once it's there you can move it around to get it juuuust right.

If it's NOT on it's own layer it'll still work this way, it's just going to
take more time with the magic wand while holding down the shift key to get
'all' the colors selected inside the 'hole'.

HTH,
Fuzzy
