Picture editing expert needed
I have had a request from a friend who needs an image merging from one picture into another. I do have an old version of Paint Shop Pro V 5.01 but my editing skills are very limited to say the least.
The pictures are of two groups of people from his family and he wants to take a single person from one photo and insert in into another, some resizing of the first image and quite a bit of background colour manipulation may be needed.
Anyone out there who can help. 
Jim.

Re: Picture editing expert needed
Its possible but you need something like photoshop and a lot of time to make a good job of it

Freeware like the Gimp could also do it.
It would be really tricky, especially if the pictures are different. Scaling, colour, touching up.

Re: Picture editing expert needed
Also the finished picture looks more natural is you switch to black & white which is much easier to work with than colour for the novice.

Re: Picture editing expert needed
Thanks for the kind offer, up to now Punky's initial drafts have been very promising but I will bear you in mind.
Jim.

Re: Picture editing expert needed
Just to say a big thank you to those who offered help. My friend in Scotland has received Punky's latest edits and is very pleased indeed with the results.
Nice one. 
Jim.
