Thanks for the info mate. Anyone else?

Thanks for that. When I say "I'm not very good at photoshop"...that means next to useless!! I wouldn't even know where to start on that blog. I can't see a search facility and the problem is, not knowing what to search for...I'm not great with the right terminology. How do I even create the...

Hi all :wave: What I'm trying to do is is take a studio shot of a row of people (say about 8 people) and then create a police line up 'layer' to go behind the people shot, so it really does look like a police line up. Does anyone know the best was to create a line up layer in photoshop...

Don't forget to strap sponges (avoid the cheap sponges) to the underside of your boots, then you can walk around as normal ;)
