Ted Poolside

Mom really liked the photo we were able to take around the pool at Anna Maria this year, but alas, Ted was unable to be in the photo because he was tending to Clio. Not to be deterred by the laws of physics, Mom took a photo of Ted in her backyard so that he could be incorporated into the family photo. I used PhotoShop Elements (which is a simplified version of PhotoShop.) It was amazingly easily to bring in the photo because the lighting in Mom’s backyard was so similar to the pool shot.

In a similar trick, I had Grant take a photo of me on the front porch at Anna Maria so I could crop myself into a group shot. Grant and I still crack up at Dad posing in the photo with me (he was in the target photo.) That can be seen in the Anna Maria gallery where Ted has now officially joined the vacation (digitally.)

  1. Jeb, Ted’s insertion is truly amazing. But, it’s too bad he had on jeans. If Mom takes a picture of some khaki shorts do can you put them on Ted and take off his jeans?

  2. I didn’t do a very good job; I just wanted to show that it could be done. Both of my arms are mine, but my right arm is chopped off somewhere on my hand because the shorts that I cut out covered up my hand. Plus you can still see my jeans behind “my” legs and you can see my shoes.
