Newbie needing help edit picture

[sujith.it]

Hi
I have two pictures I'd like to make one. I have a picture of a man I'd like to put over a picture of a flag for a presidential candidate funny. The only way I can think to get him over the flag, though, is to use some sort of "Paint" application and trace around his body, then cut and paste. And I don't want to do that...is there anything that could make it look a little more...I don't know, artistic, rather than the pixilation caused by Paint?

you have to have a better graphics program than that.

paint shop pro is good.

you will need to make the one image transparent, then simply copy it and paste it into the other image.

different programs do this in different ways.

Gimp (gimp.org) would be able to handle that, and it's free. Also, there are a lot of tutorials on the web that can teach you how to superimpose a picture like that.

Just an FYI.

According to the Flag Code, Section 8g: "The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."



This site gives some other interesting info.



According to this site, it's more of a guideline rather than a law. However, a paper I do the layout for recently got in trouble because we used the flag as a background photo for our calendar.
