 |
|
Hi,
I'm using PS 6.0 and I've been wondering how to make the color ranges/histograms etc. equal between two different images.
I'm making a birthday card, I have a backgound picture where I want to merge the face of the birthday hero, but obviously plain merge would look rather clumsy.
So I need to make the two "pictures look the same", like if the pictures were taken in similar conditions. All the grains, color depths, noise, saturation etc....
I don't know how to describe this better but I hope you got the idea
Any suggestions?  |

I'm on CS2. Can't Guarantee this will work on 6.
Open the two images. Go to Image | match color
and from the source dropdown choose your other image. I've used this a bit. Let's say you have photos that were taken right beside eachother for a panorama and you're putting them together. this will get them to match extremely closely a lot faster than doing it by hand.

I tend to use levels and ajust the colours manually with colour ballance, a soft edge on the face pic helps, probably the hardest part to match is the lighting, if the lightings wrong, you will almost never get it to look like it's part of the original face. Wayne |
