Rachel (Four Times The Trouble)

[Paul]

This a photo of my daughter (a few summers back mind you) where she changed her top 3 times and sat in a different place 4 times. I then blended the 4 images into one.

 

Four times the trouble...

I think this is great....

Excellent working of the idea

Brilliantly done! I was so taken in by the realism that I was about to observe "Like peas from a pod - those back two are surely twins?"

Great idea brilliantly done!

I love these fun shots.
That's really good, Paul.

Thank you everyone - I need to do one this year so you can see how sweet she's become (he said, tongue in cheek...)

I take it she doesn't come on here and read your posts then.

Brilliant... I wouldn't have a clue how to do this...

Erm, nope, lol... She doesn't bother at all with forums. Only Facebook and One Direction!

Quite simple really John this one.

 

The garden isn't going anywhere, so tripod mount the camera, remote release ready.

 

Rachel sits in position 1, I take the shot. She skips to one side and puts a different top and sits in position 2. Repeat for 3 and 4.

 

Then in Photoshop, add photo 2 on top of photo 1, and erase everything except the immediate area where Rachel is sat which reveals her in the first position. Repeat for 3 and four. That's it.

 

You just have to be careful the edges are cleanly erased where her body is concealed behind her other body (!)  but in the main, you're just erasing about ¾ of the top image, then ½ and then ¼ in turn.

I'm not one who does a lot a serious editing and I don't have Photoshop, I do what little editing I do using PaintShop Pro9. It's no good trying to teach an old dog new tricks, so I'm not going to get Photoshop, I dare say PaintShop could do it... but could I... that is the question...

The gauntlet is down John....

 

Something for the summer m8.
