Help please, Haloween

[Crazyhorse]

Hi

Now, firstly, I'm not completely mad.

I have CS3 extended and will be getting the upgrade to CS4 when it comes out.

I want to do a shot of a dog which hates having it's photo taken (that's the first problem). The dog will be sitting and looking into the camera and the dog is black with dark brown eyes.

I then want to turn the shot into a spooky haloween thing. I want a black background or a seriously stormy dark background with a light shining into the dogs eyes.

I would like a large cross in the background somewhere and two large candles.

Can anyone help with processing? on a step by step guide? Or, you think that's more occult than haloween? :shrug: Or, should I just give up and forget about it. :bonk:

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Lisa

Or, my daughters idea. Scary house in the background, or graveyard in the background, dog in front.

I've got a house and graveyard I can use but no idea how to put the dog in front of the house/graveyard, and create a dark stormy sky.

However, if I use the house/graveyard, how do I put the dog in the image and make the dog smaller to fit in with the image?
