Software applications designed for mobile devices or computers enable the integration of individuals into existing photographic images. Functionality includes cutting out figures from one picture and seamlessly placing them into another, adjusting for scale, perspective, and lighting to achieve a realistic composite. For instance, an individual absent from an event photo can be incorporated later using such an application.
These applications address the need to retrospectively include individuals in group pictures or memorialize events accurately. They offer the benefit of rectifying missed opportunities for capturing complete groups and provide a convenient method to augment or alter visual records. Early iterations often involved manual photo editing, a time-intensive and specialized task now simplified through automated features in contemporary applications.
