Open two photos, preferably focusing on a single subject matter
Turn both photos B&W using IMAGE ADJUST GRAYSCALE or you can use
the new CS3 tool: IMAGE ADJUST Black & White
Choose the image that you want to be the “background” and the image you
want to be the “merging-in” image
SELECT SELECT ALL on the “merging-in” image, then EDIT COPY
(SHORTCUTS: CTRL A, CTRL C)
PASTE this image onto the “background image” file using CTRL V
RESIZE if needs be using EDIT TRANSFORM SCALE
Click on the ERASER TOOL and then go to your BRUSH SETTINGS and RESET
YOUR BRUSHES using this dialogue window
Choose a SOFT ROUND BRUSH
Change brush opacity to 50% and begin erasing the excess parts of the
“merging-in” image (the parts you do not want to see!)
Go over the areas several times until the two photos start to “merge” its
okay if you get a “halo” effect
ZOOM IN and clean up the edges with the eraser
When you are satisfied go to LAYER FLATTEN IMAGE
Use the BURN & DODGE TOOLS to get rid of “haloes” and alter the image so
that they use a similar light source
Use the CROP tool to improve your composition
Digital Imaging – Tutorial 11
Start with steps 1 – 3 from above
4.
If you are more comfortable using the QUICK MASK rather than
the ERASER TOOL there is an alternate method. Start from Step 3
Above.
5.
Instead of SELECTING ALL, on the “merging-in” image hit QUICK
MASK and then paint out the area of the photo you wish to copy
(for the example to the right I would paint out the elephant red)
6.
Once done, exit QUICK MASK and everything BUT your subject
matter should be selected, go to SELECT INVERSE
7.
Then EDIT COPY and then go to your “background image”
8.
EDIT PASTE (CTRL V)
9.
Again, use the ERASER and BURN & TOOL to clean up the image
