how do I achieve this effect

Here are some video tutorials on montaging

And on this page with video tutorials on the select area tool, the forth one down shows how to make most of your picture black and white with one part in color.

that did not work for effects like this, is there an easier feature to add on to get this effect. I tried the montage and it didn't work. I think we need a photo merge that looks real like the example I showed you. Better yet, if it does work, can you put a picture up and duplicate like the examples I showed you and give me step by step because the video is not doing that

The first picture you showed should be very easy to reproduce if you have a tripod and are in control of the lighting. Just take a picture with the couple on the left and take it again with exactly the same camera settings (i.e. turn off things like auto exposure, which might change inbetween shots). Then when you composite the second picture on top of the first, you won't need to do anything tricky to get the photos to line up, and you can just use a large Airbrush to erase the left side. N.B. It's composite, not montage that you need for this.

Do I need to take a picture of the chair by itself? Why do I have to do it with the use of a tripod? what about the second picture?

[admin]

You should only need two pictures: One on with the couple on the left and one on the right. The tripod is so that the two pictures line up, that will make merging the photos very easy if the lighting and all camera settings are the same.

Hate to bother you again, but if the lighting is not the same, what can I do? Also, I tried what you said, and it worked, but my problem is the width of the picture didn't allow much space for the second pic (ego part), when I rotated and crop, it was a little scunched in...how can I widen the entire first picture in order to not make the second picture look crammed

[admin]

Try moving the camera further away, then you can take the two pictures without having to move the camera, either that or a different lens. Or am I misunderstanding?
