    The pic. in the middle is a clone of the other 2...

    Does it look too fake or looks like 3 different people?

    Reminds me of an article in this month's American Scientist. The author combined a whole bunch of faces to make a 'composite' face of what people might look like in a few thousand years if we all interbred. Neat stuff.

    Ok I get it...the eyes and nose are from the first girl, and the mouth and hair/face shape are from the 2nd girl?

    Did you copy and paste a selection with some feathering to acheive this? I've tried it with group shots a few times...snagged better smiles from one shot and pasted to another. Not as impressive results as this though! nice job.

    That is very clever, they do look like three different people.
    I thought probably all sisters? that was my first thought. headscratch.gif

    Shoot I lost my post after writing it all up!!

    Anyway, restart………..


    SHOOTING TIPS TO CONSIDER:

    - Find subject with similar skin tones
    - Shoot in same lighting condition
    - Have them look at the camera with same angle (I learned this after the fact)
    - Keep camera setting the same (i.e. focal length)
    - Keep plain background (that frame gave me trouble)


    POST WORK:
    My workflow is a bit sloppy but hopefully I can explain myself.

    Assuming the skins match (very important before you begin)….
    I started with a background with one picture of each subject on each side. In the middle was blank space where my cloned human would be. I selected the girl on the left and pasted her on a new layer. So it looked like Girl 1, Girl 1, and Girl 2.

    I copied the mouth of Girl 2 and pasted it on a NEW LAYER (this gives the freedom to move, rotate, transform, etc). At this point, it looks like a cut and paste job so I added a mask and with a soft brush began to erase the edges.

    ****ALWAYS PASTE MORE THEN WHAT YOU MAY NEED***
    Cos you can always erase or mask it but not getting enough the first time will mean starting over with that selection.

    So my mouth blended well and I began cloning the neck down of Girl 2 on my middle shot. It got very sloppy here! I had to blend the head and body of 2 separate people that seemed impossible but worked out okay. Then I copied the hair of Girl 2 and pasted it. One again, adding a layer mask and using a black brush to blend the 2.

    I was in the ballpark after this but there’s a lot of cleaning up of the hair and other details.

    I cant emphasize how much I switched back and forth from Black <> White brush to help me blend.
    Cut+Paste, Clone and Masking… three thing I used extensively.

    All in all, I’m satisfied with the outcome but I did make mistakes along the way.
    But that’s the only way to learn so go try it!


    PS – Stamping is amazing [Command + Option + Shift + E]
    It’ll combine all your work in one, easy to manage layer!
    I just discovered it ?
