 |
|
Hi,
This is what I want to do -
I have two photographs. A car and a country scene.
- Image ONE of the car, I have cleaned all the background and made it white - now I want to make all of that white background transparent -
- Image TWO of the countryside, Now I want to paste my car INTO this image so the car will now be seen as in the countryside picture.
I also want to make the image a jpeg to include on my web page.
Thanks I can't seem to figure this out.
Hope I am posting in the correct area.
I am using Photoshop 5.0 Ltd. Ed.
Vista on an HP Laptop Pavilion dv6904

You should make the car image a regular layer by alt+dbl clicking in the layers palette. Then select and delete the white background and it will be transparent.
Then just drag the car onto the other image. Use transform to alter the size as required. To be convincing, the highlights and shadows on each image should match. |

Thanks for your reply. I did get the car BG to be transparent, just trying to get it to drag onto the other image, but they are two separate items to Photoshop so far.
I'll keep trying.
I might have to do it with my really OLD PhotoDelux, with the clone tool. But that's like a 5 hour job. lol |

I'm not sure what you mean by they are two separate items...just copy the car, then paste it into the other image. |

I open the car pic. Then I open the background pic. But they are two separate images, not on the same screen. I copy the car but it won't paste into the other.
I don't know why, I think I have done it before. The layers are not compatible or in the same layer window.
I cannot seem to have the two images together.

|

Still new in this forum. Hope this attaches to the right thread! Otherwise people will wonder what I'm talking about....
Open both files in PShop.
Go to the LAYER pull down menu. Choose DUPLICATE layer in one of the files. Change the DESTINATION to the OTHER FILE NAME (which you should have opened). Name the layer you are copying something significant. When you go back to the other file you should now have both layers in that file - You may have to choose LAYERS from the WINDOWS pull down menu at the top of your screen.
You may need to resize or move one layer to make them show to together. You may need to change the opacity of one layer to show the other.
EDIT >TRANSFORM> Size HELPS you to resize one layer.
Hope this helps!

What view mode are you in? Try View-Screen mode-Standard screen mode to see both images. |
