CREATE THE CLONE EFFECT

Merging the images and adding a layer mask is all that’s required

1 Merge all the images together

Now that you have shot the images, start by uploading the desired ones into the same file. Open your ‘base’ picture – ideally a clear shot of just the interior without a model. Then open the other images in Photoshop. Select each image via Edit > Select All and then Edit > Copy Merged – this will select the entire image. Then Edit > Paste onto the base image, which will overlay the image as another layer. Do this with all the images you want to use, and rename each layer appropriately.

2 Add a Layer Mask

Click on the top layer, and then the small Add Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers Panel. Set the Brush Tool to black and start erasing the model from the image. Now invert the Layer Mask by pressing Ctrl/Cmd+I while the Layer Mask is selected. Now your model will reappear, with the rest of the image hidden in the mask. Do this to all of your shots with a model, using the layers’ eye icons to hide other layers while you work, and all your models will appear in one image.
