Using v7 (I’d love to upgrade but finances won’t allow it). I have a picture of my mother and three work friends which was taken in a car park, hardly the most inspiring of locations, I’m sure you’ll agree. They were off on a walk as one of her friends was leaving.
What I thought I’d like to do is apply gaussian to the background, but I’m not sure how to mask off the figures. I don’t usually use PS, I’ve just started to realise how versatile PSP8 is. Failing that, does anyone have any other suggestions? There is one of them halfway up Coombe Hill, with the monument (memorial to our soldiers who died in the Boer War) behind, but the figures aren’t brilliant. Maybe someone can give me a link to a tutorial showing me how to take the figures from one photo and merge them into the background of another?
Any – and all – suggestions gratefully received.
