How to place an object from other picture to yours.

Let’s say you want to add a nice flower.

1. You need a Photoshop.
2. Open in Photoshop your photo.
3. Open photo with flower as well, don’t close yours.
4. Now you have 2 pics.
5. You need to know what sizes both pictures have so your replaced flower will not transform after you put it on your photo (it might be too small or too big).
6. Choose your photo and find on the panel: Image – Image size.
7. In opened window you’ll see such parameters as width and height (for ex., 800x600).
8. Choose picture with flower and get to know its size the same way.
9. If sizes of both picture are different, make width the same (one) for them (height will transform automatically).
10. Now your pictures have the same size – that’s good!
11. Choose picture with flower (just click on it).
12. At the left side you see a panel with Photoshop instruments. Find Lasso tool (second from the top, left column).
13. Right click on Lasso tool and choose Magnetic Lasso tool.
14. Then try to outline your flower. It is easy, one click and drag mouse by its contour. When you finish click again and your flower will be picked. Just try!
15. Then push ctrl+с – copy flower.
16. Choose your photo and click ctrl+v – paste it.
17. Now you have your photo with amazing flower, bottle, man…whatever.

Just practice, practice and practice! Maybe, you'll need it ;) ;)

Yana.. I think you have it the wrong way round...

You don't want to add a flower to a picture...

You want to add a fairy to a flower :D

Oh yes, just for all of you out there who are photoshop fanatics. This goes for models AND photographers alike.

You may take awesome pictures but if you shop too much, anyone and everyone can tell. A good example are the girls found here. http://www.calendarcoeds.com These girls, while pretty (I know them), have been reduced to washed out zombies IMO, and the visual value is pretty non-existent now.

It's important to take good pictures beforehand. Photoshop should be used to augment pictures, NOT make them over.

An example of shopping that I've done as an example with another tutorial.

This is an untouched picture:

This is after airbrushing:

While this is impressive to many people, no one ACTUALLY looks like that. It has more of a novelty value than any authentic value. Everyone knows it is shopped and critics will wonder what the model really looks like.

BTW the before image was taken from 'Mizuno's Airbrush Tutorial' and the after picture is how I rendered the original picture.


ADVICE: If you're going to 'soften' the skin, first use the healing brush (the bandaid) to get rid of blemishes, and then if you're going to use dust and scratches filter, etc, change the opacity of that layer to something low, so there are still some imperfections in the skin, but enough so that they're minimal.

The most effective photoshopping is the kind where no one notices it was done.
