How to clone yourself out of photos using snapseed
by Ben Sissman
(this also works the opposite way for cloning yourself into photos)
If I’m in a windy environment or one where I’m not comfortable to walk
away from my camera, I use this method.
- shoot 2 photos with the DFE, and I stand in 2 different places in the photo
(it doesn’t necessarily have to be on opposite sides of the camera,
just in a different line of sight to the camera)
- In Lightroom I copy and paste all the settings from 1 photo to the other
After exporting out of LR, remove the tripod of 1 of the photos
- open 1 of the photos in snapseed, and layer the other one over
the top with the ‘double exposure’ tool.
-
then change the opacity to 100% of the second photo I have added In
-
Click view edits
-
Brush out what you want to delete, it will then effectively show the layer
from the other photo.
Once done click the back arrow and export!
(NB- I know there is the “time shift” plugin, but that doesn’t allow you to use the DFE at the same time)
