house interior photos - how can i see outside windows??

[filliponi]

hi there, just wondering how i can get the below effect.

i want to be able to take a photo inside a house and be able to see outside the window also?

i realise that i probably have to use 2 photos exposing for inside and outside - and in these shots it almost looks like they have used a program to stitch the photos together.

many thanks for all your help!!!

This MAY help:
Try going under "Image" then "Adjustments". From there, go to "Brightness/Contrast" and mess around with your levels. Hope that helps- Good Luck!!!

It looks to me like (especially in the first one), they used a picture of their house, but deleted the windows, and just put other layers below the picture by the windows to create that effect....if that makes sense to you

For example, I took this image:

Deleted the left part of the other, and made this:

for that to work you're going to need a really high quality source photo, and you'll want to make the windows a selection and possibly even their own layer. Even then it's not guaranteed though.

as long as you're careful with your cuts this should work pretty well. You can use the separate layers to adjust color to match the lightness and contrast between the two photos.

The advice I gave was something I had used in THIS case in order to show the background:

I messed around with some filters and stuff too (added film grain and such)... that's why the after looks....well, grainy =)
