Shoot and Edit - Week 45 Edit

So, I just did a regular edit on my SOOC shot.  I cropped it to 8x10 size, cause I'm going to print this one off.  :)

But when I saw Ashley's tutorial, I wanted to share this one, too.

I totally do cloning.

A lot.

I swap heads all the time.  :D

So, here's the original:


Two kids on the right... looking good.  Two on the left... not so much.

Photo #2:


Two on the left... better.  Two on the right... fail.

So, I combined the two and got this:


Much better, right?

(I know there's space beside Michael that needs to be cropped out, but I haven't decided what size to print this one at, so left it alone for now.  ;)

So, if you've never done head-swapping/cloning, check out Ashley's tutorial.  It really does change a good picture to a great one.  :)  And, I'm going to totally try the mask technique - I usually just erase, but it sounds like there's more control with masking.  Me likey.  :D

Linking up!

Good to WOW

  2. What seriously fun shots! All of you guys put me to shame with your "re-heading" shots :) I am so completely impressed and way too leery to try myself. Great job.

  4. Holy smokes Adeena! That's GOOD! I've tried that before, but my people always end up with like 2 noses or something. Patience is not one of my virtures I guess. I try to rush thru it and it looks awful - LOL!

    AWESOME edit! Where's the littlest gal?! :-)
