add a person to a photo
To add a flower girl to a wedding group using Adobe Photoshop Elements, do this:
- Start on the flower girl image. Select around her using a selection tool such as the Magnetic Lasso or something similar. Set a small feather using Select, Feather, and set it to 3, for example.
- Choose Edit, Copy, switch to your wedding photo, and choose Edit, Paste. If you can’t see the Layers palette, choose Window, Layers to view it. You’ll see the flower girl on a new layer.
- Click the flower girl layer, click the Move tool, and you can now move her into position and size her to suit the photo.
- Then you’ll need to apply finishing touches, such as adjusting the color on her layer to blend her, and anything else that requires fixing.
Steps for Photoshop are pretty much the same, except it is Select, Modify, Feather to add the feather.
You might be surprised that folks won’t even realize that you’ve done the work and they’ll think it actually is a photo.
