Multiple people from a screen shot in one avatar

[Volcon]

Does anyone know how i can make multiple characters from diffrent screens shots i took from a game appear to be in one scene, on the same backround? Like diffrent characters cut out and then put, looking at place on it, onto a snow background.

Meh it would be pretty tricky, but an experienced photoshopist could do it. I know I couldn't though, at least not make it look good. Someone like Merlock would probably be able to. Basically cut all the characters and just put them as different layers on the background you've selected, after resizing and everything. Then clean it all up, like colour, shading, edges, etc. Pretty big job though, and if you haven't used photoshop before...

Hey Volcon, the only way i can suggest is if you did it in photoshop, i could do it for you though if your provided the material, i'll put it all together Just send me a PM if your interested.

If you are going to do it make the images as high res as possible as when cutting things out there is nothing worse than working with low rest images to do this on!

Photoshop is your best bet it sounds like you want to move a selected character into a new backdrop and then delete everything around them leaving just the character and then rinse and repeat right? If so I try and get your hands on photoshop Argo P2P.

Or, God forbid, you could avoid the warez route and use GIMP, which is an extremely capable editor that won't cost you anything. (I've been using it for years.)

All technicalities aside, putting several characters into one avatar isn't a good idea. When you only have roughly 100x100 pixels to work with, more than a few elements would more than likely end up looking like a colourful smudge, heh. As for doing what you're describing in general...aye -- Photoshop, The GIMP, Paintshop Pro, etc. -- just get your hands on a graphical editor.

Don't worry, it's already been done. By the way it was a signature that Volcon wanted made. It might turn up o his profile sometime soon... I don't know. But whatever this topic can be locked or deleted probably unless Volcon feels otherwise.
