- Drag the selection to the new background. After all that work,
it’s finally time to move the saw over to the background file that’s
been patiently waiting for most of this lesson. I’m presuming
you’re still in the consolidated tabs view. (See Step 2 on page 76
if you don’t see a in the application bar.) Press and hold the
Control key (� key) to grab the move tool on-the-fly, click in-
side your saw selection, and drag the saw up to the tab for the
Ad composite.psd document. Wait a brief second for Photoshop
to switch images, press and hold the Shift key to align the two
images, and then release. You can see the results in Figure 3-43.

- Zoom into the edge artifacts. The composite looks pretty good.
But if you press and hold the Z key and click a few times near
the bottom area of the saw handle, as shown in Figure 3-44,
you’ll see some severe blue fringing around the selection edges.
This effect is common for two reasons. First, the foreground
often has some memory (in the form of reflection or other cast)
from its former background. Second, in this case, the sharpen-
ing features of the digital camera I used to shoot the saw picture
created that blue fringing you see around the edges, especially
the bottom of the saw handle.
