My mum recently found a couple of pictures of her parents taken on their honeymoon, probably from the late nineteen twenties. Unfortunately, they had obviously had to taken seperate photos of themselves as no-one was around to take one of them together.




Mum asked if I could do anything with them, and I'm quite pleased with the result (especially when printed:-



Anyone else tweeked history with PS?

That is really nice work.

No, not tried it. Can't think af any material I have that would applicable.

Having seen the separate shots I wonder why the lady had her arm tucked in her belt? Very handy for the combination that she did. It allows a realistic composition without any great need for distortion of the original.

Wow, lovely job, it looks completely natural and un-PhotoShopped, a top result. I hope your Mum was pleased with the result.

Perhap they had a plan to combine the photos somehow one day but never did?

Nothing as complicated as yours but my mum asked me if I could do anything with this photo of my grandad as a child, the only one in existance.




So I just tidied up the edges a bit

It was only when I put them next to each other like this that I spotted the arm-link potential.


My mum, bless her, burst into tears!

Nice. Very nice. Wonder how they got the dog to pose like that?

What does it look like if you reinstate the colours?
