COMBINING IMAGES

We wanted a nice photo of our grandson Drew that evoked images of the fall season.  A local park had some decorated benches that I had photographed a couple of weeks earlier, but when we got there, the decorations had already been removed. We put Drew on one of the benches, took photos, and used Photoshop to composite him with one of the  photos taken earlier.

This woman happily chatted away as I took her picture. I wanted just the bench but I didn't want to ask her to move. When I decided to use this image as the setting for Drew's photo, I used the CLONE tool in Photoshop to remove her from the bench.

In this photo, the woman has been partially removed with the Clone tool.

This is the photo of Drew. I turned him into a Selection in Photoshop, lifted him from this photo and used the Move tool to move him to the photo of the bench. He was resized to match the background and dropped into place. Some final retouching was done with the CLONE tool.

The final composite image.
