Can You Spot The Difference?



Here's a group photo that was taken at a wedding reception. We thought it would be funny to place all the men on one side and the women on the other... next to the signs for the restrooms!

But take a closer look at the second photo. Can you see something different on the men's side?

Yes... there's an extra person there now. How did he get there? He was "Photoshopped" in! He wasn't present at the time the photo was taken, but I was able to add him in later. To do this, many conditions were needed... a space to place him, a similar lighting condition is needed, exposure and image quality must be similar, etc.

If you look closely, you can tell he's not exactly the same as everyone else in the photo. But it's very close. It works.

To better inspect the photo, click on the photo to enlarge it. Then move your curser over the enlarged photo and wait a moment. At the bottom right of the photo, you'll see a multidirectional arrow. Click on that and the photo will enlarge again.

This is not an easy thing to do in Photoshop if you want it to be perfect. It does take some time and effort, so I don't recommend this as an alternative to getting the photo right in the first place. It's about a 15-30 minute process to work the image to perfection and it does cost extra to do this. But if the image is important enough, this is a good option to fix a group photo!
