placing image within another image

[livingtolearn]

Hi everybody!

Okay this is a tricky situation but I know there are a lot of ppl on this site with a lot of adobe expertise, so hopefully someone can help me out.

What I'm trying to do is place cartoon images of turkeys inside a school bus. It's something im making for thanksgiving. So basically I need to make turkeys into passengers! So if you were to look at the bus from the side view..you would see turkeys looking out the window or sitting, and a turkey as a bus driver.

The thing is that I have a cartoon image of a turkey, and the bus separately, and I was wondering if there was any way to combine the two so it looks like the turkeys are riding the bus!

Thank you to ANYBODY that replies, it would be a huge help.

you would have to cut the turkeys to fit into the windows. you would have to trim any parts of the turkey that is over the bus so it looks like they are in the bus. then if you want to have the appearance of glass over the turkey you would have to make the window using layer masks and lasso tools and gradients, blur etc. you would have to go to a tutorial site to learn how to make glass

Put the bus on a layer.
Draw around the perimeter of each window and copy the windows to a new layer and delete them on the original layer. Hide the windows layer so now you have the bus with holes where the windows were.
Place your turkeys on a layer below and you can position them as you wish. The unseen bits will be masked by the bus sides. Now click the windows layer back on and experiment with the layer modes and opacity so that the turkeys show through.
