Put them together

[Carol]

Hi,

I have three pictures of three brothers, one brother in each image. Is there an easy way to put all of the brothers in one picture. I have to scan them in first. Any help would be appreciated. I use Photoshop cs4.

Sure .... put each photo onto their own layer, then use masking to reveal/hide portions you want. Depending on what you want. If you want 3 side by side, make a large canvas and drag each picture into place. Lots of options with CS4

Thanks ohenry, I'll try that.

Ohenry's suggestion is right and good!
Afterwards you need to make them look natural and match the colors of all pieces at the end which sometimes appears to be harder than the first part... depends on a pictures you have how easy/hard it is..

Thanks for the info. No color adjustment needed as they were all taken by a photographer at the same time at a wedding.

You could do collage of the 3 images, with borders on the individual images. This might look better since you don't seem to have a ton of knowledge of photoshop.

That's probably the best solution for amateur photoshoper to keep quality of project, as montage could be hard to do if haven't done before (marking, croping, resizing, avoiding halo around cropped objects etc.).
