I set up my tripod and digital camera in my living room and took ten pictures of the same, EXACT spot. The ONLY thing I changed per picture was where Sully was. (He's REALLY good with the "stay" command, so it wasn't too hard to do.)

Then, I opened all the pics on Photoshop. First, I changed each picture to a better size. I chose 650 pixels wide each. I then layered them all on top of each other. I only made two visible at a time in the layers window, and used the eraser tool to erase the empty space on the top one, only to show the Sully in the picture below. Then I merged the two visible layers ("merge visible") and did the same process with making THAT layer and the next layer down visible until I had ten Sullies! It wasn't hard, really.....at all....the only thing that was tedious was making sure my digital camera didn't move while taking all of those pics.

I did one "practice" photo shoot (which I did not post) and once I'd done a pretty fair job on the 1st one....I made the 2nd one, which was even better!

I am attaching a screen shot to give you a fair idea of the Photoshop screen and what I did. Please, try this! And when you do, post yours! I'd love to see everyone's "clones"!

I'm also attaching my "practice" version....just for fun.
Great Job you rock and what a beautiful pic it made
