PI Version: 12 (but you can use earlier, and newer versions too)
Level: Intermediate
Featured tools: Transform Tool, Pick Tool
Additional filters: None
Additional files: 4 tubes, 1 mask and 1 text-file
You'll get the material in the zip-file.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  
Supplies: One tube is from Mario C.  - thanks for your wonderful work! 
The other tubes are mine - made from my own photos. The mask and the text-file I've made myself.
(There are a lot of similar masks on the internet ... but this one I made myself to fit the idea for this picture.) 
You are allowed to download the material here and use it for your private use, 
but you are not allowed to change the name of the tubes/mask or text-file,
delete the watermark, neither offer them for sale or download. 
The copyright © belongs ALWAYS to the original artist/designer!
No copyright infringement is intended.

Remember to save often!

Before we start, you should open the masks, and store them into your Easy Palette. 
In case you need to freshen up your memory on how to save a mask into the EP - you can take a look at one of my other tutorials,
  where I explain a little bit more about how to use a mask in PI. You'll find the tutorial here.
Important - in my tutorials my masks fit the chosen background/object ... 
you achieve this by right clicking any mask inside the original category Mask Library in your Easy Palette. 
Now you choose the option Fit Mask. 

Very important: Do NOT merge the pictures before I tell you to do so!
