Photoshop :: Superimposing 2 Photos / Characters Together
Jun 5, 2012
I am trying to superimpose 2 people together from two separate photos. I have limited knowledge of Photoshop. Would the below steps be the easiest & most effective way of doing this?
-Import both photos as 2 separate layers
-Use magic wand tool to split characters up / delete backgrounds
-Place characters on a new background layer
-Edit the light of the characters & background to match each other
-Degrade/enhance all 3 images to match each other
-Touch up edges of characters until blended into background.

I'm going to be editing a series of images, cut from a movie, to make an animated gif. I'll be superimposing the face of one man onto that of another in each individual frame.
I know my way around photoshop (layers, brushes, effects, etc.), and I'm using CS2.
During some frames I will need to awkardly stretch the image of the superimposed face (Connery's) to fit that of the original actor's (Martin Sheen's) -- the frames in which his head is turned to the his right, as can be seen in the image below. There are also frames where the lighting on his face changes and smoke pours over his face. These are my main challenges.
I could use help with the lighting effects (casting shadows over a layer), the military style face paint, and the smoke effects, as well as general guides to photoshop face-transplanting
If a plugin is needed to do any of these, by all means recommend it and any associated tutorials; money is not an issue.
Here are a few sample frames taken that show each stage of the scene (it's the famous head-rising-from-water scene from Apoclaypse Now).
For the face to be superimposed, I will use a source image like these. The lighting is failry uniform, so these should be ripe images for shadow effects (I would like to cast a shadow over the right-hand portion of Connery's face, just as Martin Sheen's is in the movie):

I have 2 problems that I'm trying to solve.
1) on the attached, how do I produce the effect of the shaky light on the brick floor that can be seen on the 2 lights in background behind the swimming pool (tried shadow effects option)
2) the fire on the left hand side (in front) still looks too superimposed, even though I've tried some of the things I was advised to do on a similar post (adjust vibrant mid tones, use burn tool etc).

My problem might be a little more complicated than most problems considered 'beginner', but for all I know about GIMP (which is very little), it could be very simple.
I wish to superimpose text on an image so that the text's color us what color it was superimposed upon. To better explain what I want, take this rainbow image:
[URL]
Say somebody type a large lowercase g near the top left corner of the image. The top circle of the g would be red whereas the bottom circle (or hook depending on the font) would be purple since it dips that far down.
After I finish typing the text, I could save that layer, or cut/copy that text as a new image and save it then.

I am currently working on somthing that will require me to make cartoon characters and color them. So far ive drawn them on paper and put them on my computer. My plan was to scan the image to my computer and use it as a template to place vectors over and reshape them.
Any good way to make cartoon characters using photoshop.

I have Photoshop CS and when I try to use the text tool, it does not print out characters but straight lines. So if I type A it is reproduced on the screen as ---- and if I type B it is reproduced as --- and so on.

Using one of my fonts I created lettering that has the middle of each character knocked out so that only the outline shows. The trouble is when I create the jpg for the web the color seems to become runny so it looks like its slightly smudged.

I am superimposing a person into a picture of a group of people.
I need to match their lighting with that of the other characters, as if they were stood in the same room when the photo was taken.
What's the most effective way of doing this? (I'm using CS4)

I am supposed to be translating a website from english to japanese; having received an Excel document with all of the translated copy, Photoshop refuses to utilise any fonts other than something called 'ms mincho' or 'ms meiyro' (sic).
I want to employ any of the fonts designed for the japanese alphabet which i have researched and purchased online. Photoshop refuses to display these. I have also activated the 'asian fonts' under 'preferences'.
Any decent fonts which will display the japanese alphabet on copy/paste of characters from another application, or is this an adobe photoshop failing.

I need to create a title in large font for a picture. I can create text borders using blending modes and specifying stroke and fill. For a title however, the characters are too close. I can adjust tracking in InDesign and MS Word ... is there a way to do so in Photoshop CS 3?

I have some Japanese fonts installed on my cpu and I was trying to use them in PhotoShop (PS) but they don't show up as the Japanese (and other) characters. In photoshop CS2 in the font selection drop down menu you know it gives you a preview of that font using the word "Sample" for that particular font. For example if you were to look at Arial to the right of it the word "Sample" will be demostrated in the Arial font. (yeah that was confusing to type) Well in that dropdown menu it displays in the Japanese characters. However, when I select that font to begin typing it uses normal alphanumeric characters. When i previewed the font in the windows font viewer it is also displays as normal alphanumeric characters.
Example fonts: MS Gothic, MingLIU,SimSun.
I believe all of these are True Type Fonts

How do you type a foreign language (with special characters) using the type tool? How do you access foreign language characters? Is this something I can easily do with Photoshop 7? Or do I need to have some other element on my computer? Like another language keyboard layout?

The spacebar is no longer inserting a space between characters.
I tried switching from my wireless iMac keyboard to my wired Apple keyboard; replaced preference files; booted from several other partitions (that share the same Photoshop app); checked the character palette for kerning and tracking; and tried different fonts.
It may be that I have to trash the preference files and completely reset them... but I sure hope not.I've tried two backup preference files .

I am trying to type Tamil text in Photoshop CS3. I typed Tamil text using Google Transliteration [URL] then pasted in Photoshop, but it is not working. As Google Transliteration uses Unicode, it must work in photoshop as well (if Photoshop supports Unicode).
Does photoshop support Unicode? If so what am I missing?
If photoshop does not support Unicode, how can I type Tamil text in photoshop?

How do I make a work path of a character that consists of a loop (letters O, O, and P in LOOP for example) so that i get the inner and outer walls of a character, take O for example, instead of a solid O?
O (the black area of the O should be filled with smaller text, if it were a work path) When I create a work path of the letter O, it outlines both the inner and outer lines of the letter, but once the work path is created, all I get is a giant SOLID circle, not a work path that has inner and outer walls of the letter O.

I'm working at a new job, on a machine running PS 5.1, running OS 10.8.5 with me set up as a new user on this Mac.
I'm duplicate the file, save as on the documents I'm working on, and these images contain a "." within the name. So, every time I "save as" the file drops the characters after the "." and adds the file extension.
We changed the Finder preferences to show all filename extensions, but that only seemed to work briefly.

I want to create an image like this:
[URL].............
I created text, 2 characters on first line, and then 3 characters on second line. I changed the vertical spacing, so that the characters are overlapping a little. But when I change the blending options for the layer style, I can't get it to look like the link above. I don't want to seperate each character into its own layer.

I've been wanting to upgrade to CS6 but have one issue that is preventing me from using it exclusively during testing that did not occur in CS5.
When typing special characters the formatting jumps all over the place and the speical characters end up at the end of text and not where I typed them.
For instance, if I type ALT+0169 (The copyright symbol ©) then my name, the © ends up at the end of my name. I have to reopen CS5 to do any speical characters using the ALT key + number combinatiion.
To try it, just type [Space][Space][ALT+0169] then any text. If your system is doing what mine does, the text jumps around and puts the © at the end of the text not the start.
I've tried to copy and put the character at the end of the text but to no avail. It seems CS6 only allows the character at the end of the text line.
It's the only thing keeping me from upgrading to CS6 which otherwise I really like.

I'm experiencing a very bizarre problem in CS with a font special character. I used Extensis Suitcase to examine all the font characters for a particular font that I'm using on a project. The character mapping shows the key combination for the character I want is (on a Mac) Option/Alt + Z.
This works in every other application on my computer, including my email application, but for some reason, within CS it brings up the Omega character. Any idea why this happens and how I change it? I even tried to type the character in Word and cut and paste it into Photoshop and it changes! What gives?
