OK. Let's go ahead and give our cables a little love. We're going to do the Layer Mask trick yet again because we want to paint away this white area. So I'm going to click on my mask and paint that away and its going to be just very quick with this. And don't forget you can also reduce the size of your brush by using the bracket keys on your keyboard or of course the properties, so you just paint those away with a smaller brush. And I'm just going to paint these a little bit more, clean these up a little bit and just have these guys right inside of the tomato like so and even paint away just a little bit like that on the tips so that it looks like they're inside of the actual tomato. So I'm going to keep going and do something like this and now we have it stuck in the tomato. Feel free by the way if you want to, to create another layer. I'm going to create one under it so that the layer that I'm going to paint the shadow will actually be under the cables. And I'm going to grab my brush and get a darker color. Let's see here, I'll get a darker red, real dark and I can paint if I wanted to a shadow so that we could follow the cables as they go across the actual surface. And you could drop the opacity down, of that layer, if you wanted to. Now of course, I was very sloppy with that but you can see what I'm talking about here. I get a shadow in the actual cable like so. Fell free also to go to your Blur, go to Focus and add any of the Blurs here to soften that shadow up if you need to. And last but not least before we finish, I'm going to create a type layer so we can have zeros and ones in here. So on my keyboard I'm going to just type zero, zero, one, one, one, zero, zero, zero, spacebar, spacebar, zero, zero and this kind of thing just to give it that more tech look. And we'll grab our Layer Adjuster, move it down here somewhere, and we will right click to commit that to the layer and let's see what happens if I put a Hard Light on there. Oh, very cool, very, very, cool and I'll also drop the opacity down a little bit. So folks there you have it. We have our collage. If you want to continue experimenting just grab your different layers, for example, I have my cable selected and I might want to try a difference on there to see what kind of effects I can apply to it just to make it more interesting. So I hope you enjoyed using Painter to create a collage, using a technique called Compositing where you bring in different layers and you do different things to them and using ton of Layer Masks, which really is a big part of the secret to Compositing. You don't destroy the pixels in your image; you simply paint them away with a Layer Mask.
