What Photo Viewer do you use?

@DDumbassProductions Adobe Bridge

Could you just highlight the selections and go to auto blend layers??

[TutorVidCom]

@DanRoadsPhotography I think if you auto blended the layers it wouldn't turn out right. Auto blend is more if you have two near identical layers in a panorama that you want to merge. Photoshop wouldn't know which set of eyes you would want to use for example and may choose the wrong set.

why not use the erase tool?..

[TutorVidCom]

@celinioidd because the erase tool is permanent. If you want to edit the image at a later time, the layer mask allows you to bring back part of the 'erased' layer. If you simply use the erase tool, the erased part is gone forever.

Looking at this video I wonder how it can be possible to merge 2 separate pictures (of 2 people) together into 1 and make them look as if they're sharing a kiss.How can this be achieved and made to look real?Someone has done that with a picture of my sister without consent and posted on the web :((.And we need to find out how,so we can prove that is fake and illegal..Also can anyone tell me how to check if a digital image (from the web) is fake or real??JpegSnoop hasnt helped. Plz help...Thanks.
