    There is also an option in Files > Scripts> Statistics in Adobe Photoshop. Using this you can add the photos to be combined. It actually automatically removes the difference between the two photos while maintaining the common part of them. This technique is also used by Travel photographers to take Crowd free photos of famous monuments or tourist locations.

    Many, many thanks Dunna. I needed to create an ‘Altered Reality’ photo for a camera club competition and hadn’t quite grasped how to blend two photos together and use the mask and brush tool. I followed your instructions using an old camera as a subject and succeeded to get a photo that I am really pleased with. I aligned the two photos manually like you, as the the auto-align didn’t work too well for me either. I finally changed the photo to black and white, which looks great. Again many thanks for your video. 😀

    Great video! I'm also a hustler when it comes to Photoshop, in that I know a few things but I somehow make it work. Thanks for being honest! I've done a number of product photos in which I made objects float using a variety of clear cubes, putty, wires hanging from rods, etc. It was a lot of post work and this is much easier, especially since I use plain backgrounds which allows for using Photoshop's auto-align without worrying about the background.

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 4 lety +1

    Support item, can be done in many ways, take photo #1. Remove item and its support, take photo #2. Layer #1 over #2. Delete whatever you do not want from layer #1/top. Done. No need for several hit or miss photos to later be matched together.

    • @dunnadidit

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +2

      I definitely tried fishing line! It was quicker in the editing phase but took a lot more effort and time in the setup phase. And I also found it limiting in the way that I could “pose” the object. Like how I had my camera tilted to the side and slightly forward. And also the fishing line didn’t work so well with anything that didn’t have somewhere to hook it through like a lens or a baseball. Definitely a great way to do it, but overall kind of limited and I would argue that my experience with it was not easier.

    • @keluyuran-yuk
      @keluyuran-yuk Před 5 lety +1

      @@alicedell8595 yes I thought so, but until I realized that it's not an easy way when it comes to some stuffs which do not have holes or something to hook up the fishing line..and also we need to put a liitle more efforts to determine the falling angle of our stuffs..so I guess,as for me,.. it's not an easy option anymore. 😁.

  • @tom_something
    @tom_something Před 3 lety +2

    The shallow depth of field gives you a lot of soft spots to put the blend, so that's handy. Plus, while you've got the grid helping you align the X and Y of the two images during exposure, the focal range helps you keep the Z consistent. You're going to know if you've slipped too far back or forward because it'll be out of focus.

    Years ago I demoed an Industrial Canon engineering documentation package, and it had a software function similar to this, you could merge several photos automatically by simply selecting a view point in a CAD like page, it would look thru the photo library, and tell you if it could do it, if not it gave instructions on what additional photos to take (add the the subject library). It then added/subtracted all the pieces, scaling, changing view points etc, whatever it needed to do to give you the image.
    The salesman took a dozen or so photos of the machine in our showroom, then rendered it with all the piping removed. It was incredible tech back in the early 90's, but very expensive. It was a $25,000+ package for the camera gear, computer station and software if I recall.
    Now you can do it by switching hands and using your phone (and your laptop) for a total of a couple grand of stuff everybody carries around with them.

    Great video! Something you mentioned that I want to hit a little harder is how important your lighting position was. If you have the light heavily to one side, you'll have shadows crossing the mid line, which will make it much harder to mask out the shadow created by your hand. Overhead is definitely recommended and much easier!

    The way I do this is much easier. I simply install a multitude of positively charged magnets in the item and in the table below (using different strengths to achieve different floating levels and stability). No photoshop needed and all you really have to do is drill a bunch of holes and ruin the item you are taking a photo of to insert these magnets so you can't see them in the photo. Sure you ruin thousands of dollars worth of stuff but photoshop is expensive so it's totally worth it.

    Scripts - Load files into stack - Select both layers - Auto-align layers. Or your copy method, but the auto-align works flawlessly most of the times. I've done some crazier shit with it before

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +1

      Yeah I really wanted to include auto align in this video, but it only worked for me about 1/3 of the time so I left it out. But someone brought up that you can “open as layers in photoshop” which saves a few seconds, and then apparently photoshop has a feature where it will actually automatically find the differences between pictures and mask it out. Which I’m yet to dig into.

      I just hold them up with one hand. It’s super easy 😉
      There’s two main ways I’ve seen,
      1. Take a photo of the background first, and then take a photo of the person sitting, standing, or laying on a chair or object that you can mask out after.
      2. Set your shutter speed super high and have them jump. Also good to get a photo of the background just in case.

    I would just take a rod and connect it to the back of the object with like suction cups and edit out the shadow, less photos less work

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +3

      Yeah, that could work depending on the object for sure! A little more set up work but less editing work!

    Use fishing line, remove line with photoshop in 45sec.

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +3

      Yeah totally! I’ve tried this method too, the photoshop part is definitely quick but the setup was a lot more involved, took more time, and required separate materials. So it’s just a bit of a trade off, either more work in the start or at the end. The nice thing about being able to do both methods is that different objects work best with different methods. For example, a camera would be ok on strings cause you can use the eyelets for the strap, but a lens would be harder to tie a string around, so the hand holding works well 😁

      That one will be a bit more difficult. I would either hang it from something, or stand it up off the ground on something. Then get a picture of that, and then a picture of the plain background and mask out the parts you don’t need.

    Very nice indeed! Now you have to review all the photos with that hashtag when they come up in Instagram 😂. Also, personally I would’ve crank up a little the aperture, to have both the lens and body of the camera on focus, but that’s just my style.

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +3

      Haha totally! I hear you about the aperture. I kept it that way because when I cranked it up, the texture of the background started to show and I didn’t like it. So I had to split the difference instead of 1.4 I went with 1.7

    • @albertojramos
      @albertojramos Před 5 lety +2

    👍Well done, Dunna. “Floatos” - great term, sounds like a breakfast cereal, or over-eating symptom.😁 Glad to see the vintage Pentax again 😉. The cam deserves more than a cameo appearance, but, hey, that might make a neat Dunna Did It visual trademark - find the cam (sometimes hidden) in each vid. OK, maybe not, just a thought.😂 Shadow preservation is key, as you pointed out. Shadow could be painted in later. One image/layer could be scene w/o cam or hands. Hand shots might be easier to hold steady by resting your arm on a prop that is later masked out in PS. Replace hands with set of side clamps. Mounting cam on more elaborate tripod on the horizontal or angle (keep shadow but maintain a fixed location). Or... turn set up on its side so a wood surface is vertical and white background holds cam with a support; shoot top down. Then adjust pic orientation. Or else open cam film door and attach a clamp to it. Then grab other end of clamp from the top and hold the clamped cam above desk for pic/layer 1 with no cam scene as pic/layer 2, then mask out unwarned stuff. Happy New Year, guy! Keep up the good work.

    or you can use clear string and brush it after, This method is too much of a trouble man

    • @dunnadidit
      @dunnadidit  Před 5 lety +2

      I’ve tried that actually! I used fishing line. And while the editing portion is a it easier, the setup is more difficult. You need to have the fishing line on you(which I didn’t happen to own before) You need something to hang it from. Certain objects don’t have a good way to attach fishing line. Also, you’re limited in how you can position the object, I was able to tilt the camera to the side and slightly forward but with fishing line that would be hard to do. In the end, the fishing line method actually took longer, was more difficult, and required extra materials. It did save a bit of time in the edit but overall it was definitely the more trouble out of the methods. Every different method seems to have its pros and cons though!

      Having tried both, I have to disagree. The string was easier in the editing stage(only by a small amount) but was much more difficult and limited in the setup. In the end, I was able to get this version faster and with less effort.
