Curt... How'd you make TAE appear behind the chicken? Fine work!

It's not really hard if you like to manipulate old photos. First I copied and pasted the antique stereo view (.png image format) onto a blank word processor new .doc page. Then I took a picture of my Pathé rooster and saved the image in .png format, which allows transparent backgrounds. I removed the background from the rooster and re-saved it again as a .png image with no background. Then I copied the image and pasted it on the word doc page. I moved it to the foreground over the stereo image and re-sized it to the correct proportion. Once it looked OK, I used the screenshot tool (iMAC) or snipping tool (Windows) to capture the entire newly combined image. This is a fun and easy way to make your own image creations.

The Windows "snipping tool" shortcut key to open the Snipping Tool in Windows is “Windows Key + Shift + S. “

On MAC it's "shift + command + 4" Hold all three at the same time until a crosshair appears, then drag it around the portion of the screen you want to capture... Substitute 5 for 4 and it will display all capture and screen recording options.
