[QUOTE="cwgrizz, post: 497661, member: 27017"] Thanks to all who liked and voted. [COLOR=#ff0000][B]THANKS TO ALL WHO ATTEMPTED THIS!!![/B][/COLOR] I found this to be a fun challenge that I had never tried before this. It took quite a bit of thought on how to do this. I had seen examples of this in the thread that was referenced in the beginning of this challenge. Here is the way I approached it. First I planned what I wanted to end up with. Then I needed to plan for the time of taking the shots to avoid moving shadows etc. (only to make the assembly of the shots easier). Here are the three shots I started with: [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]181979._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] I then loaded each on into GIMP as layers. I guess you would call this first one as the background/base photo. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]181980._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Then the next two and added a "Layer Mask" to the last two. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]181990._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="30%"]181991._xfImport[/ATTACH][/CENTER] The use of "layer masks" and painting out either what you don't want to show through or what you want to show through.
