Join Julieanne Kost for an in-depth discussion in this video Swapping heads in a family portrait, part of Photoshop CC 2018 Essential Training: Photography.
- [Instructor] 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 multilayered Photoshop document.…
We can see at the Layers Panel…that I have two layers, Family01, and Family02.…If I hide the top layer by clicking on the eye icon…we can see that the zoom has actually…changed between the two photographs.…In order to automatically align these two photos…I'll hold down the command-key,…select them both in the Layers Panel…and then choose Edit, Auto-Align Layers.…I'll click OK.…And Photoshop will automatically align them.…Now when I toggle the eye icon…we can see that they're in much better alignment.…
