Take two pictures of your partner. One picture should be of your partner\u2019s entire body. Take this picture against a simple backdrop. The other should be a lose up showing their face and hand. The hand should be open, palm up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Copy the images to your computer and open them in Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switch to the full body picture. Select the crop tool. Crop the image tightly around your partner\u2019s body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Select the move tool. Drag the full body background layer onto the close-up image. It will be added as layer 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Switch to the close up image. Give layer 1 a better name (like \u201csmall me\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the transform tool (command-t) to make the small person fit into the large hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add a layer mask to the small me layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the select, fill, and paint tools to mask off all parts of the small me layer that are not part of the small person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Add a layer between the two images. Name it “shadow.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the brush tool to make a black shape approximately where the little person would cast a shadow on the big person’s palm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Set the layer to Multiply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use Gaussian Blur to make the edges of the shadow fuzzy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lower the opacity of the shadow layer to make the shadow look less harsh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
