The main Pink Dumbbells site and forum will be offline from midnight 12/29/2005 to around 10 pm 12/30/2005 for a software upgrade and a forum migration of the message board from The Training Journal. TTJ will be merging with Pink Dumbbells starting this January with TTJ founder HershyGirl joining Kyra and me as a forum admin here at PDB.

Welcome to all migrating TTJ members. We're happy to have you here and look forward to your participation on the PDB site!

The chat room will still be available during the upgrade. You can access it directly with your regular PDB username and password through this link: http://pinkdumbbells.com/chat/flashchat.php

The side-by-side before/after or front/side/back composite photo is a standard fixture in body transformation.  It's a quick, neat way to see how a person has progressed over time.

But for graphics editing newbies, how those composites are made can be a mystery.

Here's a quick tutorial on basic compositing for the complete beginner.

Do you already have any of these programs installed on your computer?

- Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Photoshop Elements
- Corel/Jasc Paint Shop Pro (30 day free trial) or Paint Shop Pro

If not, download the trial of Paint Shop Pro and install it.

Even if you have never touched a graphics program before, the process is pretty easy once you've gone through the steps one time.
