Reply #103: I have never heard of "flopping" [View All]

[nonny]

Let me answer your questions about what I did with the pictures of Gannon and Gosch.

First of all --- I am not a "professional" at this. I use Photoshop 4.0 and I have never heard of "flopping"

This was my first attempt in Wrinkle 4 http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=3196579#3212673

There are not that many photos out there to work with.

Merh and Mordarlar suggested that I use the picture of the smiling Gannon and "flip" it to face the same way as the Gosch picture. (good idea)

First I cropped each photo to include just the head and sized it 256 x 320.
The smiling Gannon picture had to be greatly enlarged to match in size the Gosch picture. (not so great to work with because it was pixilated)
Image -- rotate canvas -- flip horizontal this is what I referred to as flipping.
Working with the Gannon layer -- I set the opacity to 50% this way I could see the photo below.
Layer -- transform -- scale (maintaining proportion) I made it larger to match (eyeballing it) the size of the photo below it.
Layer -- transform -- rotate I rotated the photo on top to line up the eyes with the photo below.
That's it.
Then I just show many views of the same double picture with the opacity of the top picture at different levels.

It turned out like this
