Great shot & title. Poor Jack. Now for a question. The shot is so good, I need to ask if there really are 5 seperate girls? If Jack really has just one sister, you did a fantastic job. #153764Tim Brown August 01, 2004
Only one sister cloned a few times.Camera was locked down on Tripod.
I took 5 exposures.
One Jack & Emily and 4 more shots of Emily sitting in each chair. The base photo of Jack & Emily contains the table and chairs and everything else. Then each alternate "Emily" eposure was put onto seperate photoshop layers. If you sellect-all, cut and paste into the original shot, it puts each paste onto a seperate layer. Everything stays in perfect registration, automatically. Then you just select everything else except the added person on each layer and erase the rest (except the person) to transparancy. Its a good Idea to feather the selections 1 pixel to help for smooth compositing. #681491

Great job Tim. Thanks for explaining how you did it. I've done a few cloned photos too with (bundled with my computer) Photostudio (I can't afford Photoshop just yet). Still learning steps to make things easier (learning by trial and error) and your response on how you did your shot will help me try some new things. #681502Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
