CLONING!

August 2nd, 2011
I've been seeing a lot of photos from my friends lately on Facebook where they've cloned one or more images into another image. Anyone have any favorites they want to share? Here's my first attempt at it, I used 6 different images.

Thats so cute!! I like how you did that!!

@roth hehe looks like we had the same idea :)

@asrai @roth Those are great, thanks for sharing!

For my daughter's 22nd birthday.


Because my son wanted to play himself in chess.


And just because I wanted to try and see if I could do more than two clones.

@bschoos These are all so cool, but I especially like yours. It tells the story of what busy little bees kids are when they're playing. Want to learn how to do this.

I've done a few... This one is my first try, didn't have the right editing program yet... (or tripod, which I still don't own lol)


But after this thing got a bit better, editing wise ;-) (O and they're all selfies)

@swilde @bobfoto @pinkpeonyphotos This is just one of many guides on making clone-pictures that I've found on the world wide web ;-) http://www.petapixel.com/2009/07/10/7-steps-to-taking-clone-photographs/
August 2nd, 2011
Thanks @elke I will check it out :)
August 2nd, 2011
@pinkpeonyphotos @bobfoto @swilde the tutorial I found is here: http://www.metacafe.com/watch/483229/photoshop_how_to_clone_yourself_within_a_single_image/

There are many different ways to do this I would imagine, as with any Photoshop technique.

I've been wanting to do more of this, but just haven't had the time, patience, model, etc. Here's my first attempt using my son. He actually has such different expressions, it looks like three different kids, but it's just him.

@elke @bschoos - quick question... can I achieve cloning without Photoshop?
August 3rd, 2011
@bobfoto I think ou at least need a program that allows you to create layers, I use GIMP (that's kinda like PS but it's a free download) The one I made with my son and his tractor was done without GIMP and I've just digitally cut 3 pics up and pasted them together, without them overlapping each other (I did an other one of the same shots using GIMP: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/yBrzNqLj2aQO9G5IyhACucaA4Xqi8P_eDCFLbBiwx2o?feat=directlink You can really see the difference)... not really a "perfect" outcome but that's because you really need to use a tripod (or place your camera on something steady) and I didn't do that.. haha
So I guess yes, you can make "simple cloning" pics without a program like PS, but your clones won't be able to overlap each other...
Hope this "blurry" explanation was a bit helpful LOL

@elke - that's cool, I checked out both the link you posted and the tutorial that Bonnie posted and I have a better idea. I think I need to learn how to do the layering bit... my current photo editors do not do this process but I am thinking about getting Aperture...

maybe one day.

When I was a young lad, my film camera allowed to take multiple shots on a single frame, so this kinda stuff was done in camera... be nice if you could do it that way today.

@bobfoto Haha I guess that haven't invented that (yet) in this digital era ;-) Wiould be so much easier.. and you would be able to even call it SOOC...
August 3rd, 2011
@bobfoto I've used GIMP a few times, I had it on my old computer. If memory serves it's virtually the same as Photoshop and free. Not bad!

@bschoos - might have to check it out. Thank you Bonnie and @elke .

Really want to give this a go. Looks hard.
August 4th, 2011
I guess that this counts, because I created the reflection.

@elke You do great photos!
