|
|
Hi
I was wondering if anyone could help me on how i could blend to photos together and make them look like 1 photo. like for example if i wanted to put these two photos together
and put them in this picture
How would i go about putting them together so it could look like they were there together and not look fake?
if anyone could give me a step by step guide. or if you know a video someone that shows me how i can do this.
i hope i explained what i need help with good enough. excuse any spelling mistakes.  |

You would need to select the person in each picture and remove them from the background. There are many methods to do so, then copy and paste them into the other picture.
The lighting on each image is different though. One is front lit, the other side lit, and the scene in which you want to place them is shady. That makes it much more difficult to do so convincingly.
You are obviously new to PS. I would suggest getting a good book and learning to walk before you try to run. |

Yah i have tryed using books but never find help in what i want. i know those pictures are weird there not the picture im using, i just dont want to post my pictures. i have done them in the past and they cam out ok. but you can still see a little from were it was cut off like around the hair and stuff. whats the best way to cut them from the picture? i use the magnatic laso. I have done many belding of 2 people and they have come out pretty good for a starter, but i want them to look real, and so you cant tell they were photoshoped.
Thanks again |

Without seeing the actual pictures it impossible to say what would work best, as the best way to select something depends on the picture itself. But I can tell you for certain the magnetic lasso is, in my opinion, never the best method. I don't use it, ever. Hair is always difficult regardless of the method.
There are tons of video tutorials available on the internet, just do a search for them. |

It's not blending or cropping, it's selecting. To find good tutorials, you'll need to search using the proper terminology.
What you use to select, depends on the image itself, as I said before. |
