Photoshop Skills Ession:1 Earth and Eye Exercise

For the Earth and Eye exercise we where told to creative a photo shopped picture of a Eye edited with the earth making it seem like the person had the whole world in their eye.
 We did this by first going on to Flickr and getting the picture of the Eye and Earth once we found them we clicked on them and clicked "view in all sizes and chose the size we desired. then we would click the download button.
After both images where downloaded we opened up photo shop and opened the Eye and Earth images (Main Menu > File and then open) after it was opened we had to copy the earth picture into the eye.
 To do this we selected the "Rectangle Marquee tool" from the tool box we then clicked and dragged to define the area around the eye.
 Then we coped the image by either pressing (CTRL + C) or you go to Main menu, Edit and Copy and then we clicked the eye image to make that layer active, then we pasted the earth image onto the eye.
 after that we clicked the move tool and moved it into view and selected the Oval Marquee tool and dragged the dotted marquee around the image of the earth. Then go to the (main menu > select and then click inverse this will select everything except the earth then click delete to delete it.
 Then we used to magic tool to clean the image up a bit then we had to scale the earth into the eye we did this by going to the main menu and going to "edit" followed by Transform and then scale this formed a small rectangle around the eye then you grab the edge of the box hold shift and scale it into the eye.
 once we where satisfied with the scaling we pressed return and apply to the transformation.
 We then had to blend the earth with the eye the way we did this was by going to blending modes in the layers palette and clicking overlay this blended the earth to the image into the eyes.
