Maggie Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I have here a photo of my late grandparents: What I need is to have my grandfather closer to my grandmother, because the project I'm working on need for their heads to be almost touching. What steps do you guys suggest I take to get the effect I'm looking for? I need to fit them together in quite a small space (for a Christmas ornament circular cutout about an inch in diameter.)

xod Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 You need something like that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi @Maggie you could do this: 1. Use this site to remove the background https://www.remove.bg/ 2. Bring the resulting photo into PDN and then cut out, either person, and paste into a new layer. 3. Play around moving the 2 together. You may have to crop off the bottom area as lining up the crockery etc., may be fiddly ~ clickable for larger image ~ 2 Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

Maggie Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) Thanks for responding, @xod and @Pixey! Xod, yes, that's what I'm looking for exactly! How did you do it? Would you mind if I saved your photo? And Pixey, thank you for pointing me to that site, that will make future projects much easier! Edited November 10, 2019 by Maggie I forgot how to do punctuation. And capitalization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xod Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I used with slight modifications the method that @Pixey indicated. It is an example of a fast execution without tweaks. For example, the tie shows the flower petal in the original image. Sure you can save the image without any problem, but I think it's best to process it yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Don't forget there is an incredible Seam Carving plugin which does this sort of manipulation very well. 1 Quote ebook: Mastering Paint.NET | resources: Plugin Index | Stereogram Tut | proud supporter of Codelab plugins: EER's Plugin Pack | Planetoid | StickMan | WhichSymbol+ | Dr Scott's Markup Renderer | CSV Filetype | dwarf horde plugins: Plugin Browser | ShapeMaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to learn, I have to practice, right? @docnich, that's very nice of you-I like it very much. And @Ego Eram Reputo, I thought I had all of the useful plugins-but this one is new; thank you for pointing me to it. EDIT: I did what @Pixey suggested, messed around a bit with the result, and this is what I came up with: I had to shrink it really small to fit the little frame, but the results were good. Thanks everyone who replied in this thread. ☺️ Edited November 11, 2019 by Maggie Added photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
