Composite

A Composite combines or extracts elements from several sources to create a new image. For example, Uncle Oscar can be added to a photo of a family gathering he didn't attend. Mom and Dad can be placed in front of the family castle. Or a wide-eyed Jim can replace a blinking Jim on the reunion photo. Point your cursor to the image buttons to view the larger images.

We offer a number of additional services to enhance and customize your photographs and documents.

Sample 1 substitutes one photo of a person for another. The man on the left is smoking in the group photo; his lapel and his right hand are badly placed, and his right side is missing. His second photo is much better.

Sample 2 shows a unusual kind of composite. Ribbons and antique lace were scanned to frame and enhance the colorized print for a cover of the American Harp Journal.

Sample 3 extracts an image from a photo for use as a separate image. The overlap from the second person was removed and the image was placed in an oval for framing.

Sample 4 takes elements from two snapshots to make one memorable picture. The hat from one photo is placed on the second photo. Shading and blending make the images fit. The image was silhouetted in an oval for a "cameo" look.
