66 Using Layers and Masks
q Choose Image Size from the Image menu. In Pixel Size, change
Width from 416 pixels to 600. Move the Resampling Method slider
completely to the right, where it is labelled Quality: the description
will change to Bicubic Interpolation. Then click OK.
q Carefully select around the statue, using the “Ellipse” Adjustable
Selection tool to make a circular selection including just the
statue’s head.
q Copy the selected area to the Clipboard and close the image
window. Then in the Montage window, choose Paste>As New
Layer from the Edit menu to paste another new layer (Layer 2).
q Save the work-in-progress at this point (and every so often for the
rest of the project).
Now, we’ll add some text.
q Make the foreground color red on the Color tab, and then select the
Text tool. Click the Text tool on the image, and in the Add Text
window type the words “Liberty Concert.” Use Basic Sans Heavy
SF, (or Arial, bold) 60 points, with centered alignment and a line
break after “Liberty.” Click OK to place the text as a new text
layer.
