Could someone help me with my Christmas photo?
I don't have decent photo editing software any more. I'd like to put the snowman in the top photo (preferably without the stand showing)into the middle of the dogs in the bottom photo. I want 4x6 prints to put in my Christmas cards.

Or is there a site where I can attempt this myself?

Thanks! :hi:

1. I've been working on this since I posted and I cannot get it figured out.
I'm using Photoshop Elements and I think something's wrong with the program. It keeps freezing up on me. I'm trying to use the Magic Extractor but when I get the image the way I want it, it won't copy and paste. Damn this is frustrating! :mad:

4. I was afraid of that. They're big on my computer but not so big
coming from Photobucket. Sometimes technology just makes me want to cry! If only the damn dogs would have sat closer to each other, I wouldn't need to snowman! :)

Thanks! :hi:

7. I used a program called photo impact
It has an awesome lasso tool.
I'm glad you liked it.

13. Photo Impact rocks.
That's the one I use, only mine is an older-than-dirt version. I'm still using V 4.0. Still, it's a great program and easy to use.

In mine, they all have blue eyes. ;)

Thanks again! :hi:

15. I have photoshop elements, but I can't work it like you guys can at all.
I use it to remove red eye, etc., but I can't do the stuff you guys do. I'm in awe.

22. That's nice. But,


...can you make it look like the snowman is standing right between the dogs? Like, having the bottom of the snowman image down where the dog's feet are?


:hide:

I didn't save the big version

I suck at directions tonight, brain = fried

should have seen the snowman in the middle request in the first place. still, I think the end-user is happy enough. Time to get back to Halo

26. I saw that vid a little while ago and it is

27. Me either, about forwarding it
but tomorrow I will send it to a co-worker who felt the pain when I did run into the same problem as this guy, as in the server needing to be physically rebooted. Unfortunately, that meant me driving an hour down to the server farm, after it had failed to reboot (THE ONE FUCKING TIME! heh) and email and web were both down :evilgrin: / :evilfrown:

28. You really do rock!
I wish I had seen that last one before I ordered the prints but that's okay. The one I ordered is great, too! I've been having printer problems so I ordered them from Shutterfly.

I knew I could count on our brilliant DUers! :pals:

31. Very Nice - Might I Make A Suggestion Though...
Move the white light reflections a little off center & smaller. I do touch-ups all the time on dog photos.
