Mark S. Johnson Photography

I recently came across a wonderful Dave Cross tutorial that illustrated how to fuse an old photo with a new one. Dave’s tutorial idea was inspired by a visit to a site called Abduzeedo.com. On the site, there are images of people holding old photos in front of the locations where they were originally captured many years before. The result is a fascinating “then-and-now” view. If you don’t have access to old photos, or you don’t have time to reproduce this process, here is a way to simulate this “old and new” look using Photoshop. Many thanks to Christian Meermann for his submission to today’s Workbench.
