Need more Subjects in your photo?

The easy way to increase the subjects in your photos, using Photoshop CS5 is to use the Tool Tab within Bridge, then select Photoshop, and next Load Files into Photoshop Layers command. Once your photos load, you'll choose two or three that have been shot using a tripod so that all of the background elements line up across the photos. You don't want any variance in background alignment or light intensity. Then select those images and follow the steps mentioned above. Once opened within CS5, go to Layer tab, then layer Mask and Hide All. Using a white brush begin by painting back in the subject from the second photo. Practice and remember if you accidentally paint out a part of the original subject in the first image just change the brush to black and paint it back in. Here's a way too fast lesson I did with flaws, but you get the idea.
