Computer Experiment 2

Placing images side by side:

I chose to experiment with placing images side by side, to allow direct comparisons to be made likewise to Mark Laita's images. I chose to use two images from my shoot number three for this edit.

Firstly, I opened up the two images I wanted to put together, ensuring they are both either landscape or portrait. After this I then dragged one of the bars down so that the tab became a separate window, as shown below: 


After this I clicked and dragged the separate image and placed it on to the one already in photoshop, like so:


I then clicked on the different layers and pressed 'cmd T' in order to resize the images so that when they're placed on top of one another they would be the same size. If you hold down shift whilst dragging then they will stay in a perfect rectangle. 
Once this is complete you should place the two images side-by-side, like so:

You cannot see one of the layers, therefore next I clicked 'image', then 'reveal all', this allows me to see all of the two images, like below:


This is the edit complete, you should then save your image by clicking 'file' then 'save as'.


The below is the final outcome of the image, I believe this is effective as it allows for direct comparisons between the two images, this would be effective in my shoot numbers one and three as I could place the two images, from the two different houses, next to one another in order to allow the comparisons to be made. To do this I would have to ensure all of my comparing images are the same dimensions and both either portrait or landscape.
