Composite portrait demo

Another example of portraiture without skill or equipment, through the magic of photoshop. The four images on the left were combined with a variety of layer masks, level adjustments, and clone brushing to produce the composite image on the right that we sent out with our Christmas cards this year.

 

I second-guessed my zoom settings in the middle of shooting, and then the best smiles ended up in the wrong batch, so I had to do some resizing to make things match up. The flash-lit kids don't quite blend right with the mostly non-flash background, but it works pretty well if you don't stare at it too long.
