My wife spent like 300-400 dollars on photoshop, it can do that????

Maybe a couple of hints how to?

[Anjin3515]

Ill try and get some "work in progress" pics and try to explain it some when I get home tonight.

Its also not just photoshop....but also Corel Painter (not Corel Photo-Paint)

But yeah...pretty much you can do that with photoshop :)

This one has the source pictures...some from istockphoto (great site for pictures at a decent cost)
Also in this is the various layers used for the basic set up to be painted on/ manipulated....

Its basically cut and pasting taken to the next level.

I figured you just added your buddy to a different picture.

Didn't realize you used 4 different pics to get what you wanted. Very cool.

The base is very much cut and paste and blend. Then I go and "paint" on top of it...adding detail, highlighting, adding shadow etc...
