Does anyone know how to put 2 people in 1 photo?

Making it look like we are together when we are not. Is it possible to add a background also?
Thanks

You'll need a photo editing program that can handle layers, which are just like separate pages in a book......

You can add 1 person into the photo of the other......the original photo is the 1st layer & the added person is the 2nd layer.....by having the 2nd layer, you can move the added person into just the right spot.....

There are some free photo programs that can work with layers.....Paint.Net, Gimp & there is a free download of PhotoShop CS2, which is an older version but works just fine....

Its a neat way to make some special photos.....

Birch needs help - photo

Something, exactly what is hard to say and hard to tell, caused the tree to have a difficult time/go into shock, and like with humans, it pulled back and supported just the essential parts of the tree's core, it did not have enough energy to support last year's growth so it shut down that part. Oversimplification but that's the gist of it. Now it's trying again by leafing out. It may or may not survive. I would hazard a guess that it will never thrive in the shade. Birches, especially the foreign varieties like European and Himalayan, etc, are beautiful trees, but they are short-lived, relatively weak and prone to all kinds of problems. You can hope for the best, or cut your losses and plant something that thrives as an understory tree in the shade. There are some beautiful flowering trees with interesting bark, a tree called "Stewartia" comes to mind, although that one can be hard to find. However, I would plant it in a heartbeat if I only had some shade! Korean dogwood might be an option but it needs some sun, which I don't know if you have. If it is deep shade, two lovely trees are Pagoda dogwood, and Mountain maple, which is sometimes called "Striped Maple." It doesn't have white bark, but when it gets bigger, you can see white stripes on its greenish bark. Paperbark maple has peeling bark similar to birch. Anyway, you probably weren't looking for tree planting recommendations, but I'm trying to get you ready for what might be inevitable with your birch. If, on the other hand, you have some sun available at some times of the day, the birch might soldier on, but it will lean towards the sun and probably always struggle.

Happy, There is a program called paint that comes with windows. You can resize your images in that program. After opening up the image that you want to resize in paint, go to "resize" which is on the home menu. A small box will pop up and it will say "resize and skew". On the top of the selections it will say to resize by percentage or pixels. You can use either to make your images smaller. I have a 16 megapixel camera and I usually cut the resolution in half and the images upload. So you could resize by putting in 50% and that would cut your images in half. Since I don't know your resolution, not sure if that will make the image too small or big but you can adjust it accordingly. Hope this helps. Darren

Plug the device into your computer, pull down the notification shade, and select the “USB” option. It may say something like “USB charging this device” or “USB for file transfer.” The verbiage may vary slightly depending on your device’s Android build and manufacturer, but regardless it will have something about USB. . . . When you tap that option, a new menu will show up with a handful of options. Generally, it will have options like “Charge this device,” “Transfer images,” and “Transfer files.” Again, the wording may vary slightly, but the option you want is “Transfer files.” That's from: https://www.howtogeek.com/195607/how-to-get-your-android-device-to-show-up-in-file-explorer-if-it-isnt/ I probably had to do that the first time I connected it and selected "Always" so didn't remember. Sorry. Anyway, now it doesn't ask, it automatically connects for file transfer.

Sorry joann......I should have provided you with a link:

http://www.snapfiles.com/freeware/gmm/fwgraphicedit.html

All the graphic programs listed here are for a free download....SnapFiles is a very reputable site & will warn you if a program will want to install additional toolbars etc.....so you can have the option to opt out during the installation....

You should find something here to help you with your project....

Cheers,

Kanooka, I just tried to download it and it wouldn't let me, I also tried the paint.net no go either. I even tried the free photoshop but it need a code of some kind.
Just got my PC out of the shop and I don't want to mess it up.

Is there something that doesn't need downloading that would work to just put 2 people in a photo together? something easy.
Thanks

Joann - if you want to email them to me, I can give it a shot. I am not a pro, but I can give it a go.

Joann, I don't know if this would work for you, but could you scan your pictures together, save them to your computer, then put them in a photo editing program, where you can erase whatever you don't want?
