Sometimes you have a group photo that doesn’t include the entire group. Maybe someone couldn’t make it. Maybe you needed to be in the shot—but also needed to take the shot.

With some simple tonal adjustments, the end result can look completely natural. In chapter 4, Seán tackles a fun bonus challenge: placing new figures in historical photos.
