This will
make sure that you’re able to do a very common Yearbook task: seamlessly add a piece of one photo to another e.g. a
missing person to a group photo.
Make sure you’ve
looked through the and understand all the steps.
1.
Go
to the folder Yearbook/Shared/Assts/Merge asst
2.
Make
your own folder there, using your name for the folder name
3.
Choose
2 photos from anywhere in the Shared/Photos or Shared/Pages folders. One will be the photo you’re copying into, the other a photo you’re going to
copy a person from. To make it more useful and interesting, try
to work with photos that relate to pages you’re responsible for.
4.
COPY
(leave the originals where they were) the two jpegs into your Assts/Merge
folder.
5.
Following
the procedure in the Merge
Example Instructions, select and copy a person from one photo, and paste
into the other. IMMEDIATELY SAVE AS mymerge.psd. Don’t save over the original jpegs, because I
have to be able to see the unaltered images.
6.
Fit
the new person into the original group so it looks like they were always
there. Your work will be evaluated on:
a.
Following
the instructions above i.e. make sure
you leave the originals and end up with a new PSD named mymerge.psd
b.
Challenge
– how difficult and detailed was the merge?
Was the selection easy or tricky?
c.
Quality
– how seamless is the merge? Is the
lighting, scaling, rotation etc. perfect?
Make sure your images are big enough to see lots of detail.
d.
New
layer created from background, so your added person can be moved around behind
the group, just like the seal
and the kids.
e.
Getting
it done on time while also working on photography, page design and everything
else. You’d be wise to spend some time
outside of class on thisw – after school, for
instance.
