imageFinally we were going to do it...Mousedaddy and son had taken a good picture on Test Track last year, but this time our daughter was finally tall enough to ride- and she loved it. I wanted to get that family picture on Test Track. We went to Epcot and rode on Day 2 of our trip but the Photopass kiosk was down. When we came back later in the week with the Grandpa now along for the ride, I was determined to get that picture.We presented our Fastpasses and got in line. It only took a few minutes to get to the front. We were lined up to get into our car when - oh no! Single rider came up to fill the last vacant seat. Oh well, there were other riders when I got that picture with Jack before. No big deal.OK kids, here comes the crash zone (where the picture is taken before you crash into the wall). Everybody yell!When we collected our picture we saw that everyone in our group was looking and yelling as if it was our first time on the ride. Sure, I had a dopey look on my face but hey it fits. But what's this? 5 people yelling at the danger ahead and one bored teenager looking out the side of the car. Ugggh.My photoshop skills are not what they could be, but even if I was a pro it could get really involved to remove the person from the picture and make it look right. I suppose we could have put Grandma (who didn't ride) in her place but really there was no way to make that look right either. The answer? Fade the single rider out and make them not stand out.I did Google Disney charcter photos and found one of Stitch looking in the right direction for the picture. I cut out his head and pasted it over hers. Then (since Stitch wasn't actually sitting in a car seat) I colored her body blue like a Smurf. This stuck out like a sore thumb. So the last set was to lower the brightness and contrast of the Stitch head and single rider body until their brightness was such that it matched the background features of the photo and the contract was such that nothing about the new Stitch character really stood out. General advice when trying to alter photos: Set your expectations low. MouseDaddy.com - MouseMommy.comimage image image
