Photshop Photo Help Thingy.

[Borat]

Easy guys,

I really need some help.

I have seen when some people take still from a vid, or multispurse on their slr's.

In one photo it is like a gropgap, but in the different stages.

Sorry for my bad explaination, I will try and find an example.

Could anyone help me, or tell me what to do in photoshop cs3 to get this?

Thanks.

like so??

erm first of all have you got the video or the set of images you want to use, was the camera near enough stationary throughout the images, if not forget it.

if its a video, youll have to use something to take several different frames from it(whatever you use for editing videos will let you do it I assume, otherwise VLC can do it if its a short clip(it can do it if its a long clip, but youll be there forever)

stick em all into photoshop, each one as a seperate layer, then use a layer mask(google tutorials)to punch through to the layer below, once youve punched through, flatten them 2 layers, (ctrl + e) then repeat for the next layer (or do them all, then flatten all layers)

can do it other ways by cutting out, but layer masks are by far the quickest, easiest, and best looking way of doing it, once youve mastered using them.

Pretty much exactly as above. Each frame has it's own layer. Use the 'mask' tool to keep the part of the previous layer you want visible from te layer below.

Here's a shit example:
