davehill Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hi My nieces daughters are asking for a photo of themselves dressed as fairies. What will be the best and most realistic method to add them to a digital background. Thanks in advance Dave Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
