- [Narrator] One of the most difficult things to do…when photographing a group of people,…is to get them to all smile in the same frame.…If you can't get everyone smiling,…just make sure that you have everyone smiling in one shot…or another, so that you can combine the images.…We'll start here in Bridge with the two images…of the family selected.…I'll choose Tools, and then Photoshop,…and then Load Files in the Photoshop Layers.…This tells Bridge to hand off both of those files…and put them in a single,…multi-layered Photoshop document.…
