The most common problem with one-inch photos is wearing clothes without collars when taking pictures. This problem is also easily ignored by many people, especially when taking one-inch photos in summer, this phenomenon is more common. But you’ve already taken the photos, so you can’t just leave them out, right? It’s easy! Using Photoshop’s grafting skills, you can easily add clothes with collars to the photos.
Before production, we need to prepare a photo with a collar. This photo can be any other photo, as long as it is a front-facing photo wearing collared clothes. It does not matter if it is the person or not. Of course, a one-inch photo with a collar is better and is more convenient to operate. If you really don’t have one, you can also search the Internet to find suitable photos. After preparing the photos, let’s start “transferring the pictures”!
The photo shown in Figure 1 is a one-inch photo without a collar, which is obviously unqualified. Next we will add a collar to this photo.

Create a new one-inch photo with a size of 25mm×35mm in Photoshop, copy the photo that needs to be added with a collar and the photo with a collar to the scene, and make sure that the photo with a collar is above the layer of the photo without a collar (such as As shown in Figure 2).

Tips: Many friends have questions: What is the size of a one-inch photo? The relevant answers on the Internet are really confusing! In fact, the standard photo of 1 inch is 25mm wide and 35mm high, and the ID card is large The standard for photos is 22mm wide and 32mm high, and the picture resolution is preferably 300 pixels.
Next, click to select layer 2, and press the keyboard number key "5" to adjust the transparency of layer 2 to 50% (the purpose of adjusting the transparency of the photo to 50% is to use the background photo as a reference when adjusting the size of the foreground photo. Determine the appropriate size), then press "Ctrl+T" on the keyboard to resize the photo. Adjust the inner diameter of the neck of the character in layer 2 to the outer diameter of the neck of the character in layer 1, and the connection is natural. (During the adjustment process, you can press the keyboard arrow keys to fine-tune the position of the character in layer 2 to check the neckline. Whether the parts are aligned and the connection is natural, and adjusted repeatedly (as shown in Figure 3).

After the basic effect is determined, press the keyboard number key "0" to adjust the transparency of layer 2 to 100% (opaque). Then use the "Magnetic Lasso" tool or the "Pen" tool to circle the character's clothes and collar in layer 2 and create a selection. Then click the "Create Quick Mask" button below to create a mask for layer 2. At this point we can see that only the clothes and collar are displayed in layer 2, and they are perfectly connected with the characters in layer 1. Both the size and the transition are very natural. How about it? It’s so simple to complete the operation of transplanting flowers and grafting wood. The effect is good, right (as shown in Figure 4)?

The last bit of work is to adjust the details of the photo, such as making subtle corrections to the size of the neckline, and further deformation processing that may be needed. The method is basically the same as above, so I won’t go into details here.
In addition, in order to make the combination of clothes and characters more perfect, we can also add appropriate shadow effects to the mask to increase the three-dimensional effect. Double-click layer 2 with the mouse, select "Shadow" in the pop-up window, and set the shadow angle to 90 degrees on the right side to avoid shadows on the sides, causing an unrealistic feeling. The shadow size is set to 2 to 5px, and the shadow distance is set to 0. Of course, the specific situation needs to be analyzed in detail, and everyone can keep trying.
Tips: In the entire process of adding clothes to photos, the core operation is to align the "necklines" of the characters in the two photos and ensure that the connection is natural, so as to achieve the fake and real effect. Finally, we can compare the effects of Figure 1 and Figure 4. How about it? Putting on a suit and tie, you look more handsome, right?
