Hello all you knowledgable people.

My dad's 60th is coming up in a few months time, so my sister and I thought to prepare a collage of many photos (including those B&Ws from his young days) and some of my D70 photos.

The way to do it is taken from S. Kelby's book.

Choose a base photo (high res D70 one as this will be enlarged singnificantly).

Use scans of old B&Ws (in RGB format to avoid grayscale) and put on top as layers and blend in using gradients and soft brush.

Any ideas/ comments/ suggestions? I hope to print it 20 x 30 or so.

Thanks
Alex

There are also programs specificaly designed to do this. Two I'm aware of:

Mosaic Creator

Andrea Mosaic

and a sample:

Alex you are going in the right direction with layers and brush blending and it can all be done in PS with no problems

Peter and Chris,

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Alex
