Tutorial

Step 1: First you must open Photoshop
Step 2: Next you must open the two pictures in the album named: PHOTOSHOP CPT. -->File, open, photos (scroll down the side bar), events(at top), photoshop cpt album. Open both pictures, then you must take the flag picture, go to file at the top bar. Click on select all. Copy the picture. Go to your flagpole picture and open a new layer by going over to the layers section and scroll over the little buttons at the bottom until you find the "new layer" button. Once it is opened, click on paste. You now have your flag picture on top of your flagpole picture. Delete the other window with just the flag picture in it.
Step 3: Start off by putting in your background layer as the flag pole. The your first layer would be the flags.
Step 4: Go up the the menu bar at the top of the page, there you will find the "edit" selection. Click this and scroll down to the "transform" button. Once this opens, choose the "scale" option. Now you can move around the layer to any size or shape you want. Fist, make it small. Do this by taking the bottom right corner, and moving it inwards. This is so that the WHOLE picture is visible. Still on the flag layer, begin by using the magic wand tool, turn the tolerance to 40. Once it is at 40, you may start clicking in different areas. Once the area is highlighted, press the delete button. This will get rid of all the access area. *Make sure that you delete every area BUT the Canadian flag.
Step 5: Now that you have deleted all the big pieces, it is time to get rid of all the access small areas that you couldn't get with the magic wand. Click on the eraser. Go up to the top of the page, and make the brush size small. (It can be as small as needed.) Zoom in to the picture, and start eraser all the little pieces of the flag image that have been left behind.
Step 6: Once you have JUST the Canadian flag left, it is time to begin the sizing.
Step 7: Do the same as step 4. Transform the flag so that it is small enough to realistically fit on the pole.
Step 8: Once you have done this, go back to the menu bar and go to transform. Then instead of clicking scale, you now are clicking "rotate".
Step 9: Take the bottom right corner, and rotate the image so that the bottom of the flag is now facing the left.
Step 10: Go back to the transform button, and click on scale. And now move the flag so that it fits on the flagpole. Make sure this is at the top. While it is still selected, transform it so that it becomes wider and the perfect size for the pole. You can do this by pulling the side of the flag out, the bottom and top corners as well.
Step 11: And now the last thing to do is erase the flag behind the Canadian one. To do this, click on the stamp tool.
Step 12: To change the size of the circle, you can do the same thing as you did with the eraser, at the top of the page. Now click "ALT". You should see a "bullseye" symbol. This is going to COPY any area you click on. So, to cover the flag we need to cover it with SKY. Click ALT, click a piece of blue sky, and bring it over the flag. Then click on the parts of the flag you want to cover.
Step 13: Once the flag is covered, you just have to erase all the access parts of the picture. Staying on the flag layer, just take the eraser. Adjust its size, and erase all the lines that you missed.

You are now done, and should have a picture that looks like this:
