I’ve been a photographer, and using Photoshop for many, MANY years.  In many cases, while taking photos of two or more people, there will always be someone who’s eyes are closed, aren’t smiling, etc.  I use Photoshop to edit the picture to get the best shot of everybody, by combining from multiple shots.  Today I was going thru the lynda.com training:  “Photoshop for Photographers: Compositing” (while wondering if there was anything “new” for me to learn).

I was SHOCKED (and yes, dismayed) to find that there is an “auto-align” tool!  Holy Mackerel!  Do you have any idea how much time that could have saved me over the years?  Start with two images that are nearly the same (for example:  someone’s eyes are closed in one), and Photoshop will align those two images up so that YOU don’t have to!  There are lots of other great tips in the “Photoshop for Photographers: Compositing”.

In Chapter 2, look for:  “Combining two frames together with masking” (just  6m 52s long).  and it will give all the details for auto-aligning before combining images.   lynda.com offers a FREE 7-day trial, so you’ll have plenty of time for learn lots of good stuff!
