Uploaded: July 02, 2003
(composite) 2 photos, one of my father, one of my brother, both shot in same lighting conditions, both geneticly very similar of course. Some of the tools used in PS( edit transform scale, clone tool, blur filter, history brush, level adjustment, saturation adjustment, color adjustment, smudge tool, marque. Much PS work

Matthew, what a whisper.... what a great shot! really good result for an initial very creative idea.Dave R. Mikkelson May 26, 2019
What a fascinating shot. I was wondering what was wrong with the guy till I read the description. I thought maybe he broke his nose. Mine sorta looked that way when I broke mine. Very neat idea.Matthew Roybal May 26, 2019
Thanks Gaby, Dave! Genetics play such a role in our everyday lives. I would say they even shakle us, whip us, mock us. We grow up trying to be unique, different, and then one day you look in the mirror, and you go "Oh my god, I am my father", or mother. Predispositions aside I am glad I have my father's genes. My little brother is a spitting image of my father when he was young. Genetics willing this technique can be used on any family! ......Matt #131679Melissa Williams July 15, 2003
Wow, that must have been a LOT of PS work, but you did a great job! They really do look a lot alike. #143096Mette Vendelboe Allison October 10, 2003
