Niphotos Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 I took a great photo of the Moon surrounded by colourful clouds , then i took a better pic of the moon on it's own , the prob with the first pic was that the moon was to bright with no detail but the second one was perfect , my question is , how do i cut the perfect pic of the moon and paste it into the first pic , looked at the tutorials but no go there , any help / advice greatly appreciated ...thanks Quote
GarryP Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 The best method probably depends on what the two photos look like. If you can attach the two images it will probably be easier for someone to give you a good answer. If you don’t want to attach the real images, for whatever reason, then attaching low-res versions will probably be good enough. Quote
Niphotos Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 Thanks for your help , here are the two photos i am talking about ... Quote
Niphotos Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 Oops . seems it will not let me upload the photos Quote
GarryP Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Ah. I think there’s a ‘block’ on forum members not being able to attach things until they have attained a certain number of posts, but I’m not sure how many you need. This may be the problem. Alternatively, the forum has a maximum size limit (width and height) on images at around 3000 pixels. Do your images exceed this? Quote
Niphotos Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 As you can see, i want to cut the moon from the bottom photo and put it in the top photo ! Quote
Cecil Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 I would use the Brush Selection Tool, select the moon, second photo, go to Edit copy and go to Edit Paste on first photo. You con use the Move Tool to resize the paste moon image.

Niphotos Posted December 14, 2019 Author Posted December 14, 2019 Thanks again to all on here , the solution with the Brush selection tool works , bit more fine tuning and could be perfect !! Quote
firstdefence Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 La Luna Del Cacciatore – The Hunter’s Moon I selected the detailed moon and erased the black, then used the bright moon to make a selection, I slightly feathered the bright moons selection and used it to reshape the detailed moon, the reason for that is you get an even glow around the moon because the bright moon is oddly shaped. I also changed the blend mode of the detailed moon layer to linear light to take on the glow and warmth of the bright moon. Added a bit of levels adjustment and a wolf howling Niphotos, Move Along People, Dan C and 2 others 5 Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

When you search, for a replacement object, try to match the replacement, to your initial photo.

Jowday Posted December 15, 2019 Posted December 15, 2019 @NiphotosI would also crop it tighter: Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
