Do you think I can edit my son in?

[funhouse8]

I still haven't taken my kids Christmas shot and my DD is still away at school. My DH said why can't we just cut & paste our oldest into our vacation picture and use that as our card. Do you think it can be done. Will it look strange. Here is the pictures I have available. Where can I get something like Merry Christmas or some holiday trim for a card. Thanks

My son

It shouldn't be to hard. Do you have photoshop or elements and do you know how to use layers?

I just really learned it myself last week. I took 2 people out of a wedding photo for someone and moved 3 over. It took me 4.5 hours to do it - but I learned alot.

If I can do it - ANYONE can do it.

Hey there, The lighting in the pictures is very similar so i can have a go at this for you however I have no idea of how tall your son is compared to the family?

 

[Super]

how do you like this

 

[funhouse8]

Thanks Super, My son is as tall (or should I say as short) as his dad. LOL I don't want to put you out if it takes 4 1/2 hours that's too differcult.

 

[funhouse8]

Wow, you're good Thanks

 

[Super]

lol I just copied and pasted like you said It would be pretty simple to but I could also do a shadow and make the lighting on him perfect but you seemed to like the original anyway?

Noooo, that is not what I meant. - what you were asking is/was so much easier than the wedding photo I was working on. I had to reconstruct draping and a wedding dress and part of a tux. THAT was tough for ME (not having much experience doing that kinda stuff) - but a great feeling when I finished and it wasn't noticable to people who didn't know what the original looked like.

Looks like someone already helped you out.

Wow, That is wonderful. I felt terrible when he wanted to stay home from our WDW vacation. Now I can pretend that he was there with us. LOL Can you copy & paste him in all my prints.
What about some holiday trim where do I get that from?
DVC Jen, You should be proud of yourself I'm sure the bride was thrilled.

Hey Jeff something happened to my younger sons hair.

 

[funhouse8]

Hey Jeff something happened to my younger sons hair.

LOL- I think that is the corner of his sleeve- when I copied the layer into the picture I had to resize and drag it over to the right. I must have missed a piece. See how his shirt on his left arm is missing? Sorry- I should never do Photoshop before coffee.
