Remember, it is easy to use software effects, but very much harder and more interesting to create a third image…”// | ||

- | So, how is the Third Image achieved? I would like to examine two methods of producing a Third Image; firstly in an Image Editor and secondly in PicturesToExe. | ||
- | |||
- | ====In an Image Editor==== | ||
- | |||
- | Using an Image Editor with layer capabilities it is possible, by use of Layers, Blending Modes, Masks and Opacity effects, to create the //“actual third image from a combination of the other two images”// of which Al Robinson spoke. | ||
- | * Choose two complementary images which will blend easily due to Colour, Lighting, Composition etc | ||
- | * Open the first Image in an image editor | ||
- | * Add the second, complementary image in a layer on top of the first image | ||
- | * Add a layer mask | ||
- | * Using a soft brush at reduced opacity, gradually remove parts of the second image layer to reveal parts of the first image | ||
- | * Save the composite image when you have the result you are looking for | ||
- | |||
- | * Add the first image to a slide in PicturesToExe | ||
- | * Then add the composite third image followed by the original second image | ||
- | * Select suitable transitions and slide durations to produce a transition between image one and image two which lingers on the composite third image | ||
