Tutorial goal:
Did you ever see a sunrise or a flower field so beautiful you'd want to hold it forever? Turn it into a fabric and create your own dress? Thanks to photoshop it's possible... You can use any background you want, but I prefer a nature photo. A photo with clouds, the sea, flowers,...

step 1
Look for a photo of a landscape (I used one I took in the Blue Mountains in Australia) and a photo of a girl with a fancy dress.
Now we are going to use the landscape to decorate the dress.
step 2
Place the girl in the middle of the landscape.
step 3
Copy the background photo.
(duplicate layer>background copy)
Copy the background photo a second time.
(>background copy 2)
Place it above the layer with the girl.
Copy the layer with the girl and place it above "background copy 2".
(layer 1 copy)
Erase the background from "layer 1 copy".
step 4
Move the "background copy 2" with the move tool. Make sure the background copy is still overlapping the whole dress, but it has to be lower than the background layer and also more to the left or the right.
step 5
Click on "layer 1 copy" in the layer window.
Use the magnetic lasso tool to outline the dress.

Oh, the render is choppy and the low opacity makers her look like a ghost.. >.> (364 days ago)
i guess lacking of shadows for the dress details makes it too flat. (359 days ago)
This is cool.. I'm surely going to try this as I have some photographs that need a change ofclothing and color. I'm sure the unsuspecting subjects weren't aware they were going to have thier
photographs taken and didn't dress for the occasion.. LOL.. .. as for the lacking of shadow well
hey.. when yoru standing out on the top of a huge cliff would you be casting a shadow? I don't think
so.. but could use some more contrast and color to brighten the details up mmm like the painted
canyons .. Way Cool.
