Adobe Photoshop - adding an image to a photo


Expert: Glen Demers - 5/26/2009

Question
i have photoshop 7.0 and i'm new at this.i have two photos.one person in each. i am trying to add the person from one to the other so it looks like they took picture as one.hope i explained it ok.
thank you

Answer
Hi Marty,

You can outline one person with the lariat tool (L) then copy and paste them onto the second image, or you can use the rubber stamp tool (S) to sample the person in one image and clone him/her into the second image.

With either method it is best to create a new layer on your target image so that the additions don't affect the original image on the background. You can go to Layers>Flatten Image when you are done editing so as to combine both layers.

As always, work with copies and save often.

Hope this helps,
Glen Demers
