This is my pic of the day. We went to visit my daughter in small desert town. Lovely view. My mother was sitting by the window with a lovely view of the mountains. I tried to get a silhouette picture but I could not get the right setting to pic of the mountains outside the window as then she would be way too dark. I didn't want to set the camera to pic up the mountains and use a flash as she would be way too light for what I wanted.
Heck with it! I took her pic low light then ran outside and shot a pic of the mountains.
Then took the images home to my comp. Opened up GIMP (free online photoshop type program, I love it!)
I took the original image with the washed out windows and turned it to a PNG file and erased the sections inside the window frames, time consuming.
I then opened the mountain pic as a jpeg. Placed the cut out window png file over the jpeg and merged the images. Like placing a sheet of paper with cutouts over another sheet to see thru the cutouts of the top sheet.
Cool stuff! So I made the image I wanted ha ha! Cheating but hey, it was fun!
Original image
erased the inside of the window frames. Windows are black in the edit program like cut outs.
Then I placed the cutout image over the mountain pic
Then merged the images together after placing the images in correct positons.
This is the result.
