Photoshopping a body into a photo.

[Earl Smith]

Sorry, this is a difficult thing to describe properly in the title bar.
Many years ago I was in pub in Spain. Hanging on the wall were photos of celebrities ( Mike Jagger, Beatles, George Bush etc) and the the pub owner in the same photos. The pub owner was often shaking hands or talking with whoever was in the photo. A bit like Tom Hanks in Forrest Gump when he met the president.
Does anybody know how this is done? They looked so real.

With the right software, the time and the knowledge Earl - anything is possible

Oh such fun I have had with photoshop

sorry, meant to add ............

Earl - did you see the recent thread about photoshop?

There's some good examples there to look at what's possible from a few members on the forum:

I saw your thread Adam about Photoshopping and thats what made me start this thread. ( not wanting to jump yours and divert it). Thats the type of thing Im asking about. Are there any tutorials out there to show how its done?

With a bit of dedication you can achieve this. Colour correction is key with additional filter adjustments. There are few vids on You Tube with regards to superimposing.

you have to start from working with layers (thats most important) and it's transparency
then brush styles and it's softness to smooth edges nicely
at the and colour and contrast correction, so layers match each other (easy part)
