how can i put multiple photos of one person in the same photo.?

Question

I want it to look there is a munch of "me's" in the photo. Say someone takes multiple photos of themselves but in different positions and in different spots but all in the same room. Then they put all those photos together in one picture so that those multiple poses are in one picture all together.

You use any editing program that supports layers. Gimp is such a program, as is Photoshop, however Gimp is free.



You mount the camera on a tripod and do not allow it to change position or exposure settings. You then take a photo of yourself, using the self timer on the camera or a remote shutter release. You then take another photo of yourself in a different location. You can do this several times if you want, as was done in my example.



You then open the photos in the editing program. You stack one photo onto another, creating a layer. You erase away all parts of the photo except for the subject. This will also reveal the background photo with the subject in a different location. If you have more photos, you stack another onto the layer stack. Again, you use the eraser tool to erase away all of the photo on the top of the layer stack except for the subject. You will then reveal the layers underneath with the subjects in different locations.



It is easier to do than explain, though you may have trouble with it if you have no experience or skill in using layers in a photo editing program.

PS.... that idiotic "app" mentioned in the other answer is NOT the same thing.

Answer 2

Even if you do not do multiple takes, this can be done in photoshop very very easily. All you do is choose the people you like and incorporat them all in the same photo. The technique is to remove the background with the magic wand. Then add a little feathuring and that's it.

Answer 4

If you have an iPhone, they have an app called split pic that will do it for you. I'm not sure how exactly because I don't have it, but I know of people who do. Or you can use an image editing software like Photoshop (or gimp, its free) and take lots of pictures of yourself, then crop them and put it all into one picture.
