Blast from the past
My son's school recently had an educational trip where they dressed up as WW2 evacuees - I couldn't resist the opportunity to do a little time travel photoshopping ..  _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Re: Blast from the past
Great idea Josephine. The girl in the front row left is standing on the boys foot, so maybe move her to the right. I would add some gaussian blur and noise to the new figures and reduce their contrast slightly. This will help them blend with the original figures. Nick |

Yes, indeed, he looks just like you. Those pointy ears, the silky fur... oh, wait a minute, that's just your avatar. |

Re: Blast from the past
Yes, you are right about the girl - I fiddled round with the placement for those two for ages but forgot to look at the feet  .
Believe it or not I already added gaussian blur and noise but not enough evidently - part of the problem was the noise was smaller in the new figures than in the old photo _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

For the record (apart from stray legs) the only original figures are the nun, the policeman and the little girl, and the boy with the walking stick _________________ I'm not really bad - I just draw that way |

Josephine "part of the problem was the noise was smaller in the new figures than in the old photo" Try filling a new layer with 50% grey. Add the noise and then transform the layer, i.e. increase the size of the noise to match the original figures. Experiment with blending modes - overlay, soft light linear light and see which works best. Nick |
