Show HN: I built a tool to combine separate photos into one scene using AI
A new AI tool allows users to merge individuals from separate photographs into a single, cohesive scene. The software is designed to harmonize lighting, scale, and shadows to create natural-looking composite portraits. It specifically targets use cases such as family reunions and anniversary photos where subjects are not physically present together.
- ▪The tool combines people from different photos into one natural shot using AI technology.
- ▪It preserves recognizable facial features, hair textures, and expressions during the merging process.
- ▪The software harmonizes scale, eye levels, ground shadows, and skin tone illumination for realism.
- ▪The primary use cases include creating family portraits and adding missing persons to existing memories.
