As promised, here’s a little photoshop tutorial that will show you how to salvage an image by using a piece of another image.

The base image is the one I want to use, but I have a leaf covering the boy’s eye.  I found another image from the series where his eyes are free from any leaves.

All I have to do is isolate the area I want to use and drag it to my “base” image to hide the “offensive” leaf.

The tutorial is a bit simplified.  If I were doing this for the client I would spend more time massaging the final image.

This is at the very least a good place to start.  If you’re looking to get more in depth instruction you should consider registering for one of my upcoming Photo Mommies Workshops.

The tutorials for the workshop are more detail oriented.

Once you understand the principles behind this stuff you can play around with all kinds of options and variables.

In any case, have some fun with it……I hope it helps.
