AboutMikael Barnard Expertise I have much experience in photographing events and my most specialist area
of knowledge is alternative photographic processes. I may well answer
questions on broader topics of photography but only if my sphere of
knowledge extends to the question in hand. Please feel free to ask away
though!
Experience I have both a GCSE and an A-level in photography and much experience with event photography, I now persue photography as a hobby.
Education/Credentials GCSE photography- B. A.S. Level- C. A-Level- D- nothing wrong with my work, seems the exam board are pretty narrow minded when it comes to alternative photographic processes :-(

Question Can you recommend software for superimposing pictures? I'm trying to put two people together from two separate pictures so it looks like the photo was taken that way.
Thank you
Answer Hi Cal
I'm not particularly adept at doing what you are trying to do but I have had one or two successes. There appear to be two methods of superimposing on computer by software -either by cutting around the edge of the subject in the first photograph and pasting it onto the second (often requiring adjusting the size of the cut selection) or by layers, that is taking one photograph and 'mixing' it with another which is fine if the backgrounds are identical. Either way the best software I can suggest is Jasc Paint Shop Pro, the latest version is version 9 but I find version 7 easier to use. I am sorry I can't be much more help than that but it's not something I'm particularly good at however if there's anything else you want to ask please don't hesitate to contact me. Best of luck.
