Process of mask and eye image experimentation

I first chose the two images I wanted, the one with the eyes, and a separate one of the mask. The first task was to erase the background for the mask, and then in the other image, to erase everything but the eyes. I then had to duplicate the image of the eyes, and transfer it to the page where the mask was. Because the mask I used and the eyes behind the mask on the other image were such different images, they wouldn't fit straight into the sockets. I therefore had to duplicate the eye image once more before erasing the left eye from one duplicate and the right eye from the other duplicate, so I had the same pair of eyes from the same photo, but they were free to move individually to the place I needed them. I then had to rearrange the order of the layers so I was able to see where I was erasing for the other photo to come through the other side. 

I did not end up using this particular mask and eyes for my CD cover, but this was good to experiment with before doing it properly. When I did it properly, I was able to make parts around the eye black and white and just have the eye colour on the iris showing.
