I can't remember, sorry. Try it and see.

Not exactly. Open the first one into PS, then File>Place and choose the other raw file. No need for an intermediate PSD save. Only one PSD needed. Alas, I can't think of any "tricks", sorry.

Do you have your filename extensions turned on? https://www.damiensymonds.net/2012/02/view-your-filename-extensions-windows.html

Oh gee. Are they drawn on white paper? Or is it somewhat off-white?

Since the only photos of the middle-sized kid looking at the camera have him squinting, maybe you could use H as your base? H is the only one where the oldest kid is any good, and middle kid is at least happy; and mum is ok too. That just leaves little kid and Dad, and you could use them both from J.

Screenshot please.

It must be, but I don't know anything about video, sorry

Right.

I don't know, sorry

The PSD file is linked right there in the thread. Did you download it?

Yep! https://www.damiensymonds.net/channel-mixer-class

No I didn't The Levels Class is the only one that genuinely changes lives, and you haven't taken it yet Yes, still the same. Just on a larger scale, as you sayd. Yes, one at a time. Here's the thing - you keep using the word "headswap", but it's vitally important not to lock yourself into that thinking. You need to approach each person on their merits. Always look for the best and easiest option. That won't always be headswaps. Sometimes it'll be face swaps, sometimes whole body swaps, sometimes, just torsos ... etc. So yes, I would like to see the photos.

Well, PLEASE don't print it until you've taken the Sharpening Class. You need to do it justice.

Are you going to print it?

Beautiful. @Lara, check this out!!

Alas, not smart enough, if you're making your black-and-whites in Lightroom. PLEASE don't wait any longer to take the Levels Class.

Yes, 70 is ample.

No, I meant these 2048 ones you're exporting. What quality are they?

Terrific. What quality level (on the 0-100 scale) do you save them at? And do you watermark them?

Ok, so this is for the online proofs you're showing to your client?

Gosh, 700 is a lot! What kind of photos are they? What format and size are you exporting them to?

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't wait to see!

Attagirl. Now you're catching on. Yes, cloning will be fine for that. Ok, so with the layers remaining, add masks to them (except the bottom one, of course) and use a big soft brush to blend them together.

Great. And are there any of the layers which you don't need? The fewer layers you have, the less masking you need to do.
