I had fun doing this one. I think the creator of the video had a much better result. I don't know if it's because I didn't do something right on the filter (I had to make my own adjustments and positioning based on my tutorial, you will find each one is different unless you have the exact images that he used.) I shot a photo of my hand on my new phone (I am liking the Droid Ultra!) and used a high resolution web image of the American flag. What I found here after some failed experimentation (the best way to learn!) is that you have to chose a background flag that is fairly flat. Otherwise the "distort-displace" filter will react in weird ways to the way that the flag wraps around the hand. This only makes sense. If you image a fish eye lens, this is essentially what you are doing except Photoshop recognizes the lights and darks in the hand image and warps according to those values rather than a perfect circle.
Here is my final interpretation of this tutorial video. If you have some time and access to Adobe Photoshop I'd highly recommend checking this out!
