Pic Editing Help

I want to make a sequence shot of me gaping. The only way I know how to do it it by adjusting the opacity, and it doesn't look good!

It there any other way of doing this?

Why lower the opacity?

So you can see all the layers?

Is there a better way to do it?

Try cutting around yourself in each layer with the polygon or magnetic lassoo tool, and have just that as each layer.

So the first layer is the whole pic - of you starting to gap..

Then the rest..is..well..the rest?

If that makes sense?

You're on the right track.

I'm assuming you're using photoshop yeah?

As you've done, paste all the photos in, as seperate layers, and ensure they're completely lined up with oneanother.

The way I'd do it is to have the last picture, as the very bottom layer, then click the little toggle thing, which makes the layer invisible - do that to all but the bottom two layers.

Now, select the 2nd bottom layer, then go onto layer > layer mask > reveal all. Then, use a black paint brush, (use an apropriate size), and paint the areas where you don't want that layer, so bring all of the bottom layer through.

Then, make the next layer up visible, and do the same, etc etc.

If you paint over an area too far, then just make the brush white, and re-paint over it. (Whenever you're doing this, you'll need to ensure the layer mask bit is selected - the little rectangle next to the thumbnail of that layer)

It works!
