Anyone who can do this is the damn man and i would be much appreciative. I have tried it for a few hours and almost got it too look right but couldnt get the sections i dont need to be cut out.. Figured i would ask for some help after the tutorials said it should take a few minutes. Thank you to anyone who doesnt mind helping me out :) please.

Yeah I definitely wouldn't say easy job. I could do it but as mentioned the helmet would be huge and out of proportion and on top of it quite time consuming as you would have to manually cut out the trophy and fill in the gaps where the helmet doesn't cover the same space as the Baylor uniform.

Maybe not super hard but definitely could be a couple hours (at least with my photoshop skill) so time consuming.

I would probably tackle it by the following steps:

1. Use lasso tool to cut out heisman trophy from Baylor picture.

- Probably want to leave Heisman base in there as it would be way too much area to clone and replicate.

2. Use cloning tool to fill in parts of Baylor uniform that are missing.

3. Use lasso tool to cut out redskins helmet.

- make sure to eliminate all parts in between the helmet grill.

- Select, inverse selection to select helmet and put it on it's our transparent canvas

4. past onto Baylor picture.

5. Resize using transform tool.

6. Clean up any remaining spots the helmet doesn't cover.

The resizing of the helmet picture should be the first thing you do. I mean, it's the easiest thing of the whole process.

I would do that last. Easy to drop it into the Baylor picture after you've removed the trophy to determine how big you can make it with the transform tool without it looking weird but covering as much of your cloned negative space as possible.

I'll take a crack at it. Do you have a shot of that sweatshirt anywhere?

no I dont have a shot of the sweatshirt. I tried to watch some youtube videos on how to add the pics together but I only have the trial version so not all the tools. In the videos the guy was pretty quick working with the layers and pen patch tool and I figured outthe layering and placement but the patch option is not available.

The shading is off a little, but here you go:

Ok, here's what I got. I left it on the base because otherwise it's too low (and more work.) Also, if you want it centered under RG that's gonna take a lot of work. Also, if the strap looks weird I can take it out ...

looks good I appreciate it. Im planning on using it for my twitter avatar for awhile so doesnt have to be perfect.

Pretty good, I would flip the helmet around.

Here is one I did in a few min at work with another pic. Don't have time to mess around with the other one at work.
