Photo Composite and Correction
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
I have two photos taken seconds apart from the same angle and distance. I need them composited into one final image, plus some corrective editing. Please read carefully before starting.
**Compositing instructions:**
My daughter: Use Image 1. She is smiling and looking directly at the camera.
My body and stance: Use Image 2. My posture is better and I look more upright.
My face: Use Image 1. I am looking straight at the camera. However, my hat position in Image 2 is better, so please use the hat from Image 2 and blend my face from Image 1 underneath it naturally.
**Corrective editing:**
The photos were taken from a low angle, which is creating unflattering distortion. This is the most important fix. Please correct the perspective so the shot reads as if it were taken from approximately eye level or just above. This will naturally slim and lengthen my frame without looking manipulated.
After perspective correction, apply subtle slimming to my midsection and overall frame using liquify. Keep it conservative. It should look like a better version of me, not a different person.
Do not over-edit. No obvious warping, no plastic skin, no HDR effects. The goal is a clean, natural photo that just looks like better conditions than we had.
**Final output:** Full resolution JPEG, color matched and consistent throughout.
Please confirm you have experience with both perspective correction and face/element compositing before starting.
