Sorry for the lack of posts or comments lately, I've been pretty busy. And don't say that I've got enough time to photoshop; this took me about 5 seconds :)

Thats cool. Did you like layer the three different pictures or something?
Cool.
What version of photoshop do you use?
I'd also like to know how you did this.
I use CS2 so that I can shoot RAW, but you can do it in anything that has layers and masks. I know that Elements 4.0 and up has both.
The process is super easy. Take three or how many pictures you want. Make sure the camera doesn't move at all in between frames. The best way to do this is with a tripod. Open all the pictures in photoshop; three in this case. Click the first image. Select the entire image. Copy with crtl+c on a windows. Go to your base image, and paste using crtl+v. Do the same thing w/ your second image. Now I have three layers on my base image: background, layer 1, and layer 2. Add layer masks to Layers 1 + 2. Select your black paintbrush, and brush over the part of layer 2 you want to hide. IE the part covering the person in layer 1. Do the same to the layer 1 so that the guy in the background layer shows through. If you mess up and reveal too much layer, switch to your white paint brush and hide it again. Now you should three identical people in the same picture. Make sure you flatten your image, and you are good to go. Hope this helps :)
Great picture. Man! your so lucky. We can't use CS2 cause we have window's vista. So, I have to get CS3 if I want photoshop...and seeing as its $625.00 I don't think that's happening soon.
Actually, Brian, I am using both Windows Vista and CS2! Vista was installed before CS2 was.
I got CS2 as a gift from a really cool uncle. I didn't pay anything for it. So if you have graphic designer uncle who bought CS3 and doesn't need CS2 anymore, get it from him. Hey, it worked for me.
