One can say that moms are the unofficial family historians. They’re the ones snapping photos at every family gathering, school event, and those precious everyday moments. But let’s face it, getting everyone together for a family photo is like herding cats! And sometimes, someone special just can’t make it, or a new little bundle of joy arrives after the last photo was taken. But don’t worry, I’ve got a solution for you, that lets you add a family member in a photo in a snap. Let’s dive right in!

First things first, you need a photo editor, there’s one worthy of note. PhotoWorks is like that super-helpful friend who always has the right solution. It’s a photo editing tool that lets you keep those important moments intact, even when someone can’t make it to the photoshoot. With a few clicks, you can add a new family member to your family photo. So, whether it’s your newborn baby, your great-aunt from overseas, or even your fur baby, PhotoWorks has got you covered! Just follow these steps:

  1. Install and Run PhotoWorks: Start by downloading this amazing tool and follow the wizard instructions to install it on your PC or Mac.
  2. Pick the Change Background Tool: Open the photo of the person you want to cut out and switch to the Tools tab. Choose the Change Background tool and let the magic begin. Use the green brush to mark the person and the red brush to paint over the background.
  3. Fine-Tune Your Selection: On the next screen, use the red brush to carefully erase any remaining background chunks. Don’t worry if you accidentally remove a part of the person – simply use the green brush to restore those missing areas. And if you want to double-check your work, adjust the background opacity to easily spot any missteps.
  4. Add the Person to Your Photo: Click on “Select New Background Image” and choose the picture you want to merge them into. Get creative with resizing and moving the layer around until you find the perfect spot within your photo. And to make it even more impressive, adapt the layer colors to seamlessly blend with the rest of the picture.
  5. Save Your Finished Picture: Save your final picture with the new family member in a suitable graphic format. Now you have a beautiful and improved photo that includes your beloved family member, ready to be cherished for years to come.

And last but not least, a handful of useful tips. Try to choose a photo of the person you’re adding that has a similar lighting and angle to the original photo. It’ll make the blending process smoother and the result more natural. Use the masking tools to duplicate elements from the original photo and cover any edges around the added person. It’s like a little bit of photo magic! Remember, patience is a virtue! Take your time to adjust the position, size, and orientation of the added person for the best result.
