[Ivanhoe]

King & Country's Robin, Marian, Little John and Friar Tuck, haunted by the MARX figures of 1956.



Even the Sheriff cannot escape.

I like the effect you've done of being able to see the brick work or trees through the ghost.
How did you achieve that ?

Steve;

I have an olde ‘Paint Shop Pro 7’ program that I barely got to work on my current computer.

The "Ghosts" are a combined photo of the pictures below, Paint Shop Pro 7 allowed you to create 'layers' for an image. I took the first picture with the MARX Richard Greene character figures in the lean-to, positioned behind the King & Country figures, then I removed the MARX figures and took the second photo. I had the camera on a tri-pod to get the closest to identical camera position. I loaded the second photo into Paint Shop Pro, then copied it, then I loaded the first photo and pasted the copy of the second photo as 'New Layer' into the first photo. I went into 'Layers', made sure the one without the Marx figures was the top layer, selected 'Properties' and set the 'Opacity' of the photo without the figures at 40%, which allowed the 'Background' layer containing the MARX figures to show through. At that point you can save the image as one combined photo.

Hopefully that makes sense.
I was attempting to achieve a scene similar to the ending of the "Star Wars" movie series.

I think I follow that and well done again, a really effective way of showing a ghostly figure !
