Play with nadir

I usually mosaic, use unipod or magnet stand and erase me, mirror the nadir, or clone/draw it away if nice photo, once tried a 9 cm nadir plate.  All used Photo Editor ❨Macgyver❩

Erase yourself in 3 minutes ❨Photo Editor ❨Macgyver❩❩

Need 2 Theta photos ❨unipod/tripod supported, taken twice, you stand at different position, mind your shadow❩.

Open photo 1 with Photo Editor ❨Macgyver❩ - I am the red SC in the sample

Paste photo 2, use brush to select or brush+invert to erase yourself from photo 2 and apply


The 1st set of sample is brush+invert.  I am erased from the photo.


The 2nd set of sample is brush.  2 ThetaSC-Me are resulted.

Do all other editing (e.g. level, color, contrast, mosaic, blur, etc) before you save the final photo, this can avoid further JPG quality deterioration.

Remember to save 100% JPG retain metadata.
