Select>Grow-selects more of the same area
Select>Similar- selects other blues (space between the scarecrows arm)
5. Then click Select > Inverse to invert the selection so the scarecrow is selected, not sky
6. Use the move tool to click and drag the scarecrow to the barn image(just like you do for setting up a print document, holding shift as you drag will put the scarecrow in its original spot from the first picture DRAG SHIFT DROP
7. Click the fx symbol on your scarecrow layer(same spot we clicked for making a stroke border for memes), then click inner glow
8. Set the Blend Mode to Color, Set the opacity to 50%, set the technique to Precise, set pixels to 10
9. Click the color box and use the eye dropper to select a color from your image (a color that is similar to the edge of the scarecrow)
