How To Multiply Thy Self

Eversince I posted that photo of multiple me, a lot have been asking how I did it. To answer all the questions all at once, here are the simple steps on how to do it:
1. Set your camera and lens to manual;
2. Take a couple of shots, placing yourself at different location. Make sure that the camera settings and location remains the same on all photos;
3. Open all photos in Photoshop;
4. Choose photo that would serve as your background;
5. Drag another photo (make sure you press shift key while dragging to align two photos together) to the first photo that would serve as the background;
6. Then after dragging the second photo into the first photo, the second photo should be on another layer on top of the first photo;
7. Add layer mask on the second photo;
8. Choose brush, choose color black (if your mask is white, otherwise if mask is black), paint on the second layer on the part where yourself is located on the backgroud photo;
9. Paint slowly and you'll notice that you can slowly see your photo appearing from the background photo even if you are painting on the second layer. Finish painting until you see two of you on the photo at different locations;
10. Click ctrl-E to merge the two photos;
11. Then drag the third photo and repeat the steps (from masking to merging);
12. Repeat steps to the rest of the photos. Finish.
Hope this workflow helps...

Headshot

After office I went directly to the gym then after 20 minutes on the thread mill I suddenly lost interest in working out. Maybe due to the very long day at the office and lack of sleep the night before. So I decided to eat two slices of chicken barbe-que, some fried noodles, half a cup of rice. Then I head home.
Since there's nothing much to do I decide to try my "do-it-yourself" soft box. I bought a flood light and put it inside a box and cover one end with tracing paper to soften the light that comes out of the flood light. And I think the output is ok. My skin seemed smoother and kind of flawless. Iba talaga pala ang nagagawa ng ilaw sa photo ano? No need to use clone and healing tools so I had more time concentrating on the kind of output I want to achieve ang worry less on blemishes.
Hehehe what do you think? Oks ba ang ilaw ko?
