It may look complicated to do, but trust me, if you plan your shots it's quite easy.
Here's some pointers that will assist you.
- use a tripod and have your camera set to a timer.
- set your camera on to the pro camera setting, and on manual.with a reasonably high ISO, say 220. That way the shutter speed can be quicker.
- DON'T MOVE ANYTHING IN THE FRAME OF THE PHOTO. This is very important when you do the development.
- Now talking about development. Use Adobe LIGHTROOM to do the development of the first photo of the set.
- To save time and to make sure all the photos are the same standard in development click on the above button.
- Save the setting for the development for that first photo.
- Select all the photos that need to be edited and click on PASTE SETTINGS, to do the whole batch of the other photos.
LIGHTROOM is free to download in the play store, but you have to register and make a free account.
- Use PHOTO STUDIO for combining all the photos. This is also free to download from the play store. You can buy a copy, and if you do, you would not have to see ads as you do all the work for the composition photo.
- The base photos, you don't have to do anything, except make a copy of the base photo. BUT the rest you have to remove the background.
- Using the brush under the BANDAIDE tool and then go-to replace background. All you have to do is to use the brush to select what you want to keep and replace the background.
- Save the photo as a .png format. Do the same for all the others in the group.
- Now back in the gallery app, you will find that there is a new folder called PHOTO STUDIO. I would advise you to select all of your photos for the composition and copy them to another folder. Create a new folder under the name of the project.
- Select the one whom you selected as the base photo, and press the link tool on the gallery app, and go back to PHOTO STUDIO.
- Press the MAIN TOOL button and then go to the blend tool.
This will give you where to get the photos.
- Select browse then DCIM, then the new folder that you created and then click on the next photo. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT POINT, if you're putting photos on photos.
- Click the bottom photo and work upwards. Then press the TICK BUTTON, and then go back to the blend tool and repeat the process until it's all completed.
- Finally click the upload button and the first base photo will be replaced with the final project photo.
- Because you saved the base photo as a copy, you will still have all the photos of each set.
Good luck.
