Hi.

is it possible to superimpose two images in CS3?

Absolutely Photoshop has always supported multiple ways to superimpose images. Back in the 1980’s then it was done by controlling the transparency of a floating selection before un-floating it and making it part of the image. Now this is more easy to do with layers, either using a mask, or by changing the overall transparency of the top layer.

Absolutely.
That’s pretty basic stuff where photoshop is concerned, and there’s at least a dozen different ways to do it.
Look into layers, and masks.

Thanks for all your comments, my 12 year old daughter appreciates your help.

Dave- you’re being trolled. Trace is particularly alluring – I almost responded to him myself – so there’s no shame in it 🙂

So, you think mister Burdett’s reply was a serious one? (besides the fact his answer was right) Interesting.

I simply fail to see humor in it. Maybe you are one of those roaring with laughter at the slightest of funnies. (I am certainly not sour:-) Interesting.
Keep smiling – it is good for the facial muscles:-)

If you fail to see the humor, does that mean it can’t be funny?

Dave- you’re being trolled. Trace is particularly alluring – I almost responded to him myself – so there’s no shame in it 🙂

Wiki on trolls:

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response."

Thanks for calling me alluring, but hey, I’m no troll. Don’t dump me in the Voivod bucket, just like that. It’s just the way I communicate. It’s me, shoot me.

And I DO follow almost all the netiquettes:

1. Write email message or other communication in complete English sentences

I did

2. Use regular English style. Capitalize first letter of a sentence or a name, otherwise, use lowercase letters.

I did

3. Spell-check your message before sending or before posting on the Bulletin Board.

I did

4. Be POLITE in your email message or other postings; apply the same general rule of politeness you would if you were talking to a person on his or her face.

I did, meet me and you’ll see

5. Make sure YOU make yourself look good while communicating in cyberspace.

I did, but I guess that a pretty subjective point.

6. Do not write in all CAPS. Using all uppercase letters appears as a sender shouting at the recipient. Some words in uppercase letters may be used for emphasis.

I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT (BEFORE), only to EMPHASIS things

7. Sign (Write) your name when an email message is sent.

Just did.

8. Be discrete with use of emoticons; use of excessive number of emoticons is very distracting.

Didn’t YOU just use a emoticon? Very distracting. 🙂

9. Avoid criticism and sarcasm.

Sorry, can’t help you with that.

10. No flaming or spamming.

I didn’t, don’t & won’t

So that is about 8 or 9 out of 10. I’d be proud of my kids when they get grades like that in school.

And in the end, all I did was telling I laughed out loud. And if someone tells me it’s not appropriate to laugh, I start asking questions. Is that such a crime?

And why wouldn’t you respond to me? Do I talk nonsense about PS, besides what you see as trolling?

Regards,
Trace (Netiquettes no 7)

PS If people are smart enough to figure out how to post a (very simple and dumb(excuse my disregard of netiquettes)) question on usenet, I always wonder why they didn’t try googling first to find the (simple) answer to their question themselves. So, I guess it’s the chicken & egg question. Who was there first? The dumb question or the trolls?

Yep – I realize it, Mike. That is why I did not respond
the second time to the bait:-)

Now, by saying this, you prove yourself to be not only a troll, but also an idiot. And everybody here knowing Mike, will support this. Don’t continue with this stupid trolling making a fool of yourself. Go find a site where your kind are tolerated.

You know Dave, this is the first sensible reply you’ve ever made here.

It used to be fun here. Learning PS and joking around at the same time. (and yes, even Mighty Mike used to be be…..eh…funny? But I forgot, you don’t know what humour is, so never mind) Somehow, somewhere, in the time I wasn’t here, it changed. Joking (even laughing) is NOT ALLOWED!!!!! No wisecracks. Otherwise you must be a troll. Either you’re with us or you’re with the trolls.

Well, sad little Dave, Trace has left the building. (right click on the newsgroup, select "Delete newsgroup", click on "Yes" when you are asked "Are you sure you want to delete this newsgroup?")

So now you can suck Mike’s dick in silence. Happy? Don’t forget to swallow.

Hi.

Hergy

A lot depends on exactly how you wish to superimpose the images. Photoshop can do almost anything. If it’s one head on another body, Open both images. Select the head from one. It doesn’t need to be too precise, just use the Lasso and keep it rough. Ctrl-c (Copy), then click on the other Image, and hit Ctrl-v (Paste). This will come in as a new Layer. Click on the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers Palette. Make the Layer Mask active (line around it) and hit D to get the colors as black/white. Grab the Paintbrush Tool and start "painting" around the head. The outter section will start to disappear. Change the size of the brush with the "[" and "]" keys, and continue painting. Hair is tricky and takes a lot of work. When you get to the final touchup of the Layer Mask, use a tiny soft brush. Since you are painting on a Layer Mask, if you make a mistake, hit the "x" button to change colors and paint back, what you removed (or hit Ctrl-Z) to Undo.

Finally, Save_As a PSD with the Layers, then Save_As whatever you need. You may have to Flatten (Layers Palette little arrow at the top right) the Layers, depending on which format you choose.

General superimposition is similar to this. Layer Masks are non-destructive, so you can always remove them, or edit them and not hurt the image(s).

Hope this gets you started.

I ran across this beginner’s page
http://picman0.googlepages.com/home that explains how to add a face to a different body. It seems to do an okay job explaining the process using text and pictures.
