PHOTOSHOP QUESTION

[pj]

Hi, I want to find a video tutorial on superimposing one image onto another, but i saw a picture of an examle and it was not called superimposring, there was another term for it. It's not layers or blending either.

here is an example of what I'm doing. imagine a football, with the world superimposed onto ot, but you still get the threads and all of the ball, but it looks like the world was painted onto the ball.

Any help on this one appreciated.

Thanks,

Pj

That's the problem with Photoshop... just not user friendly. Hate the fucking thing!

It may have been called merging or compositing, perhaps. Also refers to images being joined seamlessly rather than one over the other.

Anyway, if you want the top image (the world) to look like it's actually painted on the ball and not just superimposed, you'll need a fair bit of pshop skill.

yep, thank God though for youtube videos. LOL

A friend of mine wants something designed, I'm the creative type, but photoshot, fuckin hell. Will watch and learn. And it actually wasn't called merging or compositing either. Next time i go to Dublin, will find out what the fuk it was called and post here.

Thanks guys.

I think the image in the book was something like this. I'll be putting/blending something onto something else as if it ws painted on.

[pj]

Hmm, wasn't the term I remember, but youtubed what you said and found tutorials on displacement maps , so gonna watch them and see if I can accomplish this co logo for my friend.

Thanks OEJ

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who finds myself swearing at even the 'Elements' version of it and wondering where my picture went!
