Ok,

Ive got an idea for a picture I want to create but Im having trouble finding a really good tutorial to achieve it.

Im doing a wedding in August at Ribby Hall where they have a purpose built tree house which is quite picturesque.

I would like to place the bride on the balcony and then create a shot with the groom at about 5 diferent areas underneath all with different poses.

I will set up the camera on a tripod and lock the settings and use a remote so I will end up with about 6 different images.

My question is: where can I find a decent tutorial to do the editing in CS5?

Ive had a play with this type of thing before (having 4 of 'me' in the same room) but its never turned out quite as youd hope.


there is a famous pic of giggs which is the same kind of thing.

Any ideas?

Layer masks?

Hi. I think the Ryan Giggs shot is misleading, its probably various cut-outs compiled in PS. For what you describe, I think you would need to set the camera on a tripod, get the first shot, then (with or without the bride) get the groom to reposition and take the extra shots. Then you can combine in PS and use layer masks (as mentioned above). That way you get the same exposure/lighting conditions to make it believable.

Might be some useful stuff here

Just make sure you take a shot of the background where you will position the groom before taking shots of the groom,you might not need it but its handy to have just in case

surely you would take the first pic with the bride - remove her and take the remaining pics and then isolate the groom in PS and layer the groom in?

nice idea though!

Try a search for MyEasyTutoriales on you tube, including the spelling mistake! He has some vids that might be of use.
