combining pictures

here is a picture made from 2 separate pictures.  as u can see, the difference in texture and color is obvious.  is there a way to make the 2 figures appear like they were in 1 picture?

 

thanks.

  • Hello jimlau; Open the file in Photo Paint and play with the tools untill you get it where you want it. It may take a few years to learn what you want to know, but it is hard to tell someone how to do it over the forum If you have a question about one of the tools ect. someone that does photo's may jump in and point you in the right direction. Look at the book and see what the tools do and have fun and plat away. Also the "HELP" at the top right hand of the menu may be of some use to you.

    Sorry I'm Not More Help George

    • Hi, you can try this...

      • wow, thanks for the lesson and work!  
        a question - why did u use remove noire only on the lady?
         
        i have another example where 1 photo is much clearer (i guess from higher resolution) than the other.  what's the best strategy to combine those?  make the clearer one less sharp, to bring its quality down to the less clear one?
         
        thanks.
      • To start. in PhotoPaint, open the Image Adjustment Lab and then run the saturation all the way down. This will eliminate the blues, reds and other tints that are in the hair(?) of the person in the back.

        From there, you may want to do a little dodge and burn (mask and brightness/contrast adjustments) to even the contrast ratios between the two subjects.

      • Hi jimlau, You´re Welcome.

        Hi Hugh, thanks a lot for your words. (Desaturate option is very good)
