Montage
« on: Saturday 12 August 06 11:39 BST (UK) »
Hi Guys,

would any kind soul be prepared to do a montage picture of 4 generations of wedding pictures intot he one.  All the pictures are of very good quality going from 1870 - 1987, I would dearly like to have this done but my computer is a little under powered ............as is my ability to use Photoshop.

I have attached my mother & father's wedding picture and that of my gran & grandfather for starters, I just need the bride n groom from this one from the first one.
I would like to add my own wedding picture and that of my Great Grandfather

any takers

Wishing you all the best,

Swally from Scotland

Post the other pic's along with instructions for any cropping ect and we can have a look. In the meantime have you any idea of just how you want it done? or would you like to look at suggestions?

Swally,
        Here is a bit of an idea.

       Could make the background one of the churches where your ancestors wed, could also include certificates. Or do you prefer a simple montge with only the wedding pics, tell me what you think before I go any further.

I like the idea of this one, put the rest of the pictures up and I for one will have a go.

Denn has a good idea on how to tackle it.

Denn,

a simple Montage would suit to be honest, I think it may be a bit cluttered with the dates on it.  A church bakground might be quite a good idea though, there would have been about 7 churches involved I have a picture of Calderhead Parish Church in Shotts where my parents were married I'll send it see what you think.

Wishing you all the best,

Swally

Swally,
    Whatever you wish, I can have a look at the church pic's and we can go from there, I would only leave the church as a very faint image - so as not to interfere with the main pic's.

Swally,
        I think that this may be what you're after - see what you think. As for any text, just let me know exactly what you want and where.

Just looking at that, I reckon that your own wedding pic could do with being a bit bigger to fit with the others better.
