Yes. Reasonably easy. Check out making animated .gifs using Photoshop 7 and Image Ready (part of PS7) There are several online tutorials.

You’ll want to use more than 3 images for a smooth effect. —

I don’t know if Photoshop 7 can do this or not, but there are tons of freeware and shareware programs to do what you describe above and much more.

Many years ago I used a free program something "GIF 9 or something like that) which not only can do animated but do it in automactially style. Like my old Olympus 320 had feature to take a series of small photo (9 or 12 small photos with single press) and the freeware Animated Gif 9 put them together to create an animated GIF. I don’t remember if it has option to save as other video format or not, but I know there are many can save to video formats.

I remember the name GIF 9 because it’s easy to remember, the one I used heavily (animated GIF for policical) was Ulead Animator GIF with combination of Photoshop to create BIG animated GIF with many frames but keeping the size as smallest as possible (or most people were still using 5.6Kb modem then).

Also, 3 frames, you may wanna look at the MORPHING program instead.

P.S. I don’t know where you can find GIF9 now as it was available many many years ago. And I don’t think regular photos can have specifc benefit much from GIF9 like the special photo which has like 9-12 small photos in single photo (like thumnails, index etc.) and GIF9 auto separate them into separated frames (like newer Photoshop has option to separate multiple photos to separated single photo) then allow you to setup, rearange and creating animated GIF.

I had only tried it less than dozen times.

Yes. Easily. Not "on top", but displaying them in sequence in an animated .gif.

Then it’s even easier. All you just is a basic Photoshop skill then

1. Open the 1st Photo in Photoshop

2. Select the jumping guy part of 2nd and 3rd and 4th and so on, and place (merge) it/them to the first photo. You just need to blend the background to the 1st photo.

You can even place the next photo over the previous ones if you wish, this will require a little higher skill level. Or pretty much similar to the basic command above, with some additional commands like Transforming, Blending (or Opacity), Masking (skilled masking command is needed).

Few years ago I saw a member posted his/her closeup version on www.dpreview.com and it looked real nice. I took a quick look (enjoyed it) ut didn’t exam for error, but it looked great.

Hmmm I think he did 2-3 of them? much much and much better than the sample you show above.

Desmond.

assuming you used tripod or fixed viewpoint and same framing for 3 frames

open pictures

drag photos 2 and 3 on top of picture 1 using shift + drag thumbnail

all 3 pictures should be aligned on 3 separate layers now

on top two layers- select parts you want to mask out or select the figure you want in – use wand , magnetic lasso, pen tool, or select color range or combo

hit mask (on bottom of layer palette circle in a rectangle)(you may need to use select-inverse first depending if you selected background or subject )

mask off layers 2-3 and layer one will still show

You said "moving effect" and that’s what an animated gif provides.

A still image of the kind you link to is achieved by bringing in subsequent photos as new layers over the first image. You will have to make a selection of the car or person in the additional layers, invert, and delete all but the figure in the new layers. At the end, flatten. This can be done in any version of Photoshop.

Here we go! this isn’t the best masking but I think this the one you have in mind. Because I have no idea what to search so this took me several minutes to find the 1st one.

This one looks little cleaner. It’s too small to see all small detail, but I believe the smallest one if the original, the 2 larger ones are from other photos. Cuz even they are small, I think I can see some hi-lite around the edges of the 2 larger photos. This is one of the weaknesses of masked file, but the owner did a good job hiding them (blending them) which is good for displaying, but may be more visible on printing.

Not sure how to use a mask to pick out the man but if all the pictures are taken on a trypod and perfectly aligned then no mask is needed just merging them all together. That is what I thought I needed to do but don’t know how.

Ok What I have done is this make the opasity of one less so I can see the 2 pictures together. Select image 2 and draw around the area of the man in image 1. delete this. now I can see the 2 men when both opasities are 100%. What I should be able to do is draw around one man or hilight in another method. transfer this area to the other picture as some kind of mask. That is an area I don’t know how to do but it would work perfectly.

Not sure how to use a mask to pick out the man but if all the pictures are taken on a trypod and perfectly aligned then no mask is needed just merging them all together. That is what I thought I needed to do but don’t know how.

If you figure out a way to merge several images without masking (or some other way of making a selection) and either copying that selection to the base file or dropping the backgrounds, let us know. It’s something never been done before.

Ok What I have done is this make the opasity of one less so I can see the 2 pictures together. Select image 2 and draw around the area of the man in image 1. delete this. now I can see the 2 men when both opasities are 100%. What I should be able to do is draw around one man or hilight in another method. transfer this area to the other picture as some kind of mask. That is an area I don’t know how to do but it would work perfectly.- Hide quoted text –

I have managed to add a mask (hide all to one image. How do I modify the mask to reveal?

   I don’t know if Photoshop 7 can do this or not,

Yes.  Easily.  Not "on top", but displaying them in sequence in an animated .gif.

Hi Guys no I don’t want to do animation I want to see through all the images. This guy jumped of a cliff into the sea for a bet. someone has taken rapid pictures and merged them all together.

   Then it’s even easier.  All you just is a basic Photoshop skill then

1. Open the 1st Photo in Photoshop

2. Select the jumping guy part of 2nd and 3rd and 4th and so on, and place (merge) it/them to the first photo.        You just need to blend the background to the 1st photo.

   You can even place the next photo over the previous ones if you wish, this will require a little higher skill level.  Or pretty much similar to the basic command above, with some additional commands like Transforming, Blending (or Opacity), Masking (skilled masking command is needed).

   Few years ago I saw a member posted his/her closeup version on www.dpreview.comanditlooked real nice.  I took a quick look (enjoyed it) ut didn’t exam for error, but it looked great.

   Hmmm I think he did 2-3 of them? much much and much better than the sample you show above.

        This is not exactly what I have in mind, but will try to find a better one

        Here we go!  this isn’t the best masking but I think this the one you have in mind.  Because I have no idea what to search so this took me several minutes to find the 1st one.

How? The answer depends on how you made the "mask". Quick Mask? Layer Mask?

Desmond.

assuming you used tripod or fixed viewpoint and same framing for 3 frames
open pictures

drag photos 2 and 3 on top of picture 1 using shift + drag thumbnail
all 3 pictures should be aligned on 3 separate layers now
on top two layers- select parts you want to mask out or select the figure you want in – use wand , magnetic lasso, pen tool, or select color range or combo

hit mask (on bottom of layer palette circle in a rectangle)(you may need to use select-inverse first depending if you selected background or subject )

mask off layers 2-3 and layer one will still show

\\

PS you may need to do some additional masking where body parts are overlapped

I think the newest PS version can do what you ask more automated way http://layersmagazine.com/image-sequences-in-photoshop.html

but I don’t think PS 7 has these tools

Desmond.

All we need to do is following few very simple basic rules.

1. If all backgrounds matched or similar to each other (solid or similar color for example), then you just PASTE the selection to the main photo, then just slightly mask around the pasted photo to blend with the background of the main photo

2. If the background has some specific pattern (like tree, grass etc..) then you may need better masking skill to remove the background then blend to the main photo.

3. After having all additional photos cleaned up, then just load them to separated LAYERS. Then you can do just about anything you want to do with them.

– You can move them to any place you want
– You can turn them 360 degree
– You can make them smaller/LARGER if you wish

4. When you are happy with the position of all photos then you can MERGE them together by using

Crtl+Shift+E = MERGE *all* visible layers.
Ctrl+Shift+S = SAVE AS

Now, I will try to give you some hint based on your perfect aligned photos (they don’t really need to be perfect), but it would help.

1. Load the MAIN photo to the layer.

2. Load the 2nd photo to separated layer (you can load to separated window if you wish but not necessary). I assume this is the top layer

a. Making a rough selection around the image you want to keep. I assume it’s the small part of the whole photo

[ o ] = example "o" is the object (a man) you want to keep. Make a rough selection around thew "o"

b. Then INVERT the selection so the selected object now become *unselected*

Ctrl+Shift+I = Invert

c. Hit DEL to delete the selected part and you now have the main object. You have to make sure the background is transparency else you will end up with WHITE or whatever default background color

o = then everything around the "o" will be deleted and only "o" left on screen (layer)

==========BUT I would do a faster and simpler way==========

a. Make a rough selection around the "o" object

b. Ctrl-C = COPY the selection to Clipboard

c. Ctrl+Shift-N = NEW layer (to make a new layer

d. Ctrl-V = to PASTE the clipboard to new layer (you must select hi-lite the layer you want to paste to)

That’s it! now you have the "o" object on a separated layer (you can now delete or disable the original layer/photo).
=======================================================

3. From the "o" layer, you can DRAG the "o" to anywhere you wish.

4. Ctrl-T = Free Transform here you can make it bigger, thinner, fatter, upsidedown, rightsideup anything you wish.

Repeating the same steps if needed.

MASKING, you may need some masking to have a good blending. Masking is real simple but you may not be ready for it yet. So I would suggest to use the ERASE Toll with lower opacity to erase around the "o" object to soften/blend the edge to background.

Of course you can use BLUR and many other command, but I don’t think you can learn too many commands at once.

P.S. The reason I give 2 methods because sometime you need to start from the very basic step to understand how thing works, then QUICK method to make faster $$$$.

And I am not so sure this will help you much when you don’t know some very basic commands.

OK, here is another quick and dirty method which I don’t really want to give it to you, not because I am selfish, but because skipping the very basic step may not be the best way of learning.

It’s very similar to other methods, or most if not all are so similar to each other. Or if you know the basic commands then knowing one is pretty much knowing most or all (kind of but it’s hard to explain).

MAKE SURE the *background* setup to be *transparent*. And this is all you have to do. Hmmmm I still don’t know if it’s a good idea to give you the lazy method which is only good for skilled users who want to learn a simple quick shortcut

1. Load the MAIN photo to the layer (BOTTOM)

2. Load the 2nd photo to higher layer. I hope you know how to load photo, or using Ctrl-C = COPY then Ctrl-V = PASTE as well as Ctrl+Shft+N = New Layer etc.. (see previous message)

3. Make a selection around "o" object (the obhect you want to keep)

4. Shift+Ctrl+I = Inverse (sorry for mispelling in previous message) to inverse the selection

5. DEL = Delete the background of the 2nd layer (photo)

That’s it. repeating the exact same steps on the 3rd and so on photo and you have it.

I am so glad that you really want to learn and try. It’s much simpler than you can image, but trying to figure out the next method is one of the best ways to master the skill.

The Layer Mask = click on the [o] icon at the bottom of LAYER MENU

Then PAINT with BLACK (reveal) or WHITE (seal)
