Hello,

I have searched a bit online for answers to my question, but I'm being offered several software options: Photoshop, GIMP...
I would like to know which software you would recommend for making a photo montage by combining two people into a single photo from two different pictures. I want a perfect result.

If it’s a paid software, as long as there is a free trial period, that's fine since I only need to do this once... And if there’s also a tutorial, preferably in French, explaining how I should go about it, that would be the icing on the cake! :)

Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I recommend GIMP.

    But for a perfect result, the software is only secondary; what matters is the time you’ll spend mastering it and editing your photos.

    Hi
    Gimp or Photofiltre (free) are perfect for this montage.
    The principle is as follows
    You need to cut out the two characters from their respective photos and paste them onto a new background.
    You won't achieve the perfect result on your first try since you will need to attempt to harmonize the shades, brightness, etc.
    As for tutorials, you won't find one that matches exactly what you want to do

    Hello,

    If it's just for once and it's not too confidential, you can post your photos on the forum or send them to me in a private message.

    Have a nice day

    Hi there. In my opinion, Photoshop is the best software you can use for photo assembly, among other things. However, its use requires a minimum of knowledge in the field. Try the free app Joke Your Photo on Facebook, https://picjoke.org/en/tag/For+lovers, which allows you to create very nice montages. You just need to choose the background that suits you best and upload your photos to it. The site will take care of the rest.
    Looking forward to it!
