Photohop funny

Greg saw this idea in a book somewhere and so we decided to try it. We didn't have the best pictures for doing this because you need some that are pretty exact in the setting but I worked with it and did my best. It was also my first try so perhaps I'll get better. I thought it was pretty funny though. I can't wait to see what other pictures we can create.

When do I get Photoshop lessons? I've been using Photoshop FOREVER but I never do anything with pictures so I'm a complete dunce when it comes to stuff like that!

Ha, I don't think I even qualify as a beginner so I'm not the one to look at. But I can tell you some great places. Twopeas is the best!

OOOhh, I LOVE that! You really are a Photoshop Goddess! Teach me your ways!

Ashby, this one is really fun. You have to take several pictures within the same background and try and get the subject as close to the same distance away from the camera as possible. Then you pick which picture to start with, then pick the new poses. Using the, I believe I used the magic wand (if not I'll let you know), to select the subject from the other photos and click and drag to the main photo. Then you have to play around to make it look like htey are in that photo. I obviously didn't do a great job, but it was my first try. I used the blur to to go around the edges of Tea's body on the pasted over images but only on like 50% strength just to give it a little blended look. Then I added shadows to make it more realistic. I used the paint brush on 20% strenght, black, and made up little shadows, you can use the other photos to see where the actual shadows fell and copy it. Then I boosted the color and contrast and there you have it, a fun picture.
