photo in Group Shot is tilted....

[mrstucci]

Hi- I am trying PSE6 for the Mac for 30 days. I have 2 photos and would like to add a person from one group photo to the other one. For some reason, when I drag the photo that will be the Final one, the photo tilts! I have tried to Align the photo after adding the person but can't seem to get it just right. Any ideas would be very helpful. I am using PSE4 now and if there is a way to add a person to a group photo with that, I would be interested to find out! Thanks, Judy

Can't explain why the photo tilts, but I can help you straighten it.

Turn on the grid -
view> grid

Grab the move tool and hit control T for "transform" - then look for the center side arrow - it will be two headed and that's the one you use to rotate and straighten the photo. Use your grid to line up the photo.

It appears that I can't use the Grid nor the Transform while in Group Shot mode. Darn! Judy

I finally managed to do it! I did a Panarama Merge first and then replaced one of my friends whose head sort of shrunk in the process. I used the Group Shot to add her body back in and it worked perfectly!! I was so surprised when it worked!! Flabbergasted. Made my day, Judy
