Hey Frank,
I hope this article on Quick Masks will be of help to you: https://www.grafx-design.com/12photo.html
I cut then clone. Sometimes I place it in Motion then do the animation and see what areas I need to clone so I don’t have to clone stuff I don’t need. The trick to that is to never change the layer order of the PDS or it will reconnect the changes wrong.
I’m hoping to have a tutorial about the 2D photos given a 3D look by the beginning of next year. I hope you like it.
As for the Catholic Community Services video, I make my photos 72 dpi which cuts down on the size. And I’ve found that I don’t need to make the photos bigger then 2 to 3 times the size of my canvas unless I”m really zooming in. Run a test on a smaller size and see if it looks right.
Hope this helps and best of luck.
