Hello, I’m trying to make a composite image for for a class, my idea was to take a side shot of a guy’s head, cut it out, shillotte it and fade the back of his head to white. In the dad center of the picture I want to place a much smaller portrait picture cut to an oval.

As for the text I need to place the guy’s name across the top and then fill in the area between the 2 oppisite facing shillottes and the central picture with the text about the guy.

I’ve managed to figure out how to cut the pics tthe way I want them and reverse the one, but how do I size them correctly? The one in the middle is 220×315, it’s the only pic of the guy I could find… the 2 shillottes however are from a pic that was 3600×2400.

Here are some screenshots of where I’m at and what I’ve started with. < http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/22/Wm_james. jpg> <http://www.apa.org/apf/wundt-james.jpg>

Please take mercy on me for I am a n00b, I don’t even know how I got to where I am…
