Combining two or more Pictures in Photoshop


Combining two pictures in Photoshop.


Key words:  Rasterize.  Auto Align.  Eraser tool.

Let's set the scene. You are taking a picture of a rock band and you need everything to work out so you can make your millions.  But you only have a short amount of time and very little battery power.  The rock band is all set up, but on all four shots you make, someone is always acting up…that is to say three out of the four on each shot looks good, but there is always someone sticking out their tongue, looking cross-eyed, picking his nose or otherwise acting up.

Also, when you take the picture, you do not line up completely.


So enter Photoshop. You know of a way you can combine pictures and therefore eliminating the bad person. You do this and all works out.


So…how do you do this?

Break up into groups of three or four and assign the facilitator, the scribe, the devil advocate and other. Take four photos of your group, each with someone looking bad. Mr. Mills will use his camera for this when you are ready, or you may use your camera or phone.

Now, go to the internet and find out how you auto-align pictures and painting to eliminate sections you don't want. Do you need to do this more than once?  How will you do this to all four pictures


Post your team name and members and positions. Also post your 4 pictures and the final merged one.


Note: Do NOT use a cut out tool for this project. It will not get the desired effect.

Rubric: 

Are all 5 pictures posted?
Do you show the problamatic elements?
Did you eliminate the prolamatic elements?
Did you post all names and posititions to your blog?
