Preparation and processing:Attention: | Notes
What you need:
Hardware:
- A tripod
- A remote control to trigger
- A Camera
Software:
- Paint.Net
or
- Photoshop (You can also use this)
Plugins (Paint.Net):
- Feather or AA's Assistant
Preparation:
You put the camera on a hard ground or on your tripod. Attention: The camera don't move while you make the pictures!
Now you trigger the camera with the remote control, with a second person behind the camera or with a ?Self-trigger?
Attention: The lighting conditions should remain relatively the same!
If all of the photos made it grabs the photos on the PC and opens it with the graphics editing program. Here: Paint.Net
Processing:
Did you open all the photos, it looks the best out. Choose: Quality, optics and appearance.
This is the lowest layer at which nothing will be deleted!
Now it opens each image in a new layer. This copy has a picture and then goes to the most beautiful picture onEdit -> Paste in a new layer.
Now you continue on each picture. Than I should looks like this:
Now you choose Layer 4. There you choose theSelection-Tool and make a Rectangel around you!
Now you continue with the Lasso-Tool, the Line/Curve-Tool or with another method!
Now you use the Feather-Plugin to remove the edges around you.!
I've used the Values 10 | 10 and True Feather, because there you can see the best result!
No you continue like that on all layers, without the Background-Layer!
Other notes:
In some places you'll have good cut, to get good results!
The final result:
I hope you enjoy it, and criticism and suggestions for improvement are allowed!
