Michele,

I know what you are saying, but I don't think my client is understanding. We have taken over 500 pictures of Will on two separate occasions. She finds PLENTY she likes in each picture, but she finds something that she doesn't like with each one and keeps trying to piece together "this from that". She REALLY wants this particular face, and wants me to come back just to take pictures of his leg or pull from another, I was wanting someone to superimpose for me to show her how odd it would look.

As far as learning Photoshop (actually, I have Paint Shop Pro) I have tried so hard to read the manuals and figure out how to do it myself and end up getting so frustrated I want to throw the book at the wall.
I'm continually on the lookout for some local classed that could teach me, but have yet to find one.

Hi Mary,
I too like the one with the leg up - seems more relaxed and natural. Anyway, here is a quick superimposement of the leg down. Ignore the pocket hand - it's out of whack.

Thank YOU! How'd you do that? Do you use PSP or Photoshop?

No prob Mary -

Could have used either one, but I happen to have PSP open, so I used that.

1. Open each image side by side
2. Use the select tool (dashed rectangle) to select an area on 2nd image that you want to copy . Press <Ctrl> + <C> to copy.
3. Click the original image and select Edit ->Paste->As new Layer
4. The rectangle of the leg appears as a new layer on the image. Use the move tool to position the leg where you want it.
5. Click the Freehand (selection) tool. Use this tool to draw around the areas that you want to delete and hit the <Delete> key to get rid of the surrounding areas so just the leg remains.
6. Save the image as a merged jpg.

Hope that helps.

Thank you!
