thank you so much man. I really appreciate it. I certaainly will devote 10% of my available brain to these videos tomorrow. Do you know of any videos or text teaching how to do exposure blending with gimp2.8? all the tuts I've been finding are incomplete or are how to do it with 2.2!--On Thu, Jan 7, 2016 at 7:37 PM, Brian Cluff <brian@snaptek.com> wrote:There's a ton of ways to do what you want. The biggest thing you will have to worry about is lighting. For instance, if you are putting something that was lit from the left into a scene that was lit from the right, then there is little you can do. No matter how carefully you add it to your scene your brain will always tell you there is something wrong with the picture.
I tend to use a couple of different techniques to put one image into another.
If the background is a relatively solid color, I'll use a technique similar to this example for cutting out images while preserving fine details (hair in this example)... hint, you don't use ANY of the selection tools, or copy and past.

The other way I like combine image is brushing out the background using layer masks as demonstrated in this video with the leg:

I usually use a combination of the 2 techniques since you rarely get perfect results with either method.
All these methods ultimately use layer masks, which is a much better way to combine photos than cutting and pasting since you can tweak what is transparent or not back and both without having to commit to a certain part of an image like you do with cutting and pasting.

I found a way to super impose an image but it looks tacky.The method I learned was to open both files and then to select the image you want to put on the other with fuzzytool. I found that didn't work so I used the path tool. Well I cut the image out but the paste doesn't look good. It is out of scale. For the purposes I need WHat ithe best way to cut a house out and put it on a blue sky?
