Tutorial : How to clone yourself. Here I have used Paint Shop Pro 7, however it should be applicable to a lot of other paint programs.
Aim: To create a duplicate of my self in one pic. I have taken two pictures of myself, the camera was placed on a tripod and manual focus was used. Also both pics should be taken at the same exposure setting, I didn't however it can be fixed latter. Here is a screen shot of both pics in PSP
Step 1. Select the area from the first pic that you want to copy across to the second pic. It's Menu/Select/then draw on the source pic the area you want to clone. I am using a rectangular selection. You may want to feater the selectiopn 1 pixel. It will make alignment latter on a bit easier. (Thanks Wendy & Eric)
. I have taken my selction right out to the edge as per the pic below.
. Now we copy and paste our selection into the final pic. It's Menu/Copy on to the next step
. Then * making sure we are working on our destination pic * - just click on the border. Paste the copied selection as a new layer into the final pic.
. Here is mine . We now have to move it. so it is aligned with the other elements in the pic.
. Here I have aligned it however you can see the new layer is just a bit darker.
I just reduced the brightness of this layer by about 10% The layout numbering may be a bit different in your project, I was working with lots of layers creating this tute---
. We need to merge all the layers, if we have finished working, before saving the pic. To merge the layers in Menu/Layers/Merge All (flatten).
Here is my finished pic.. Feedback on this tute would be appreciated. Thank you. Richard
