Step Five:
Now that your Image Overlay is in place,
you can use the Left/Right Arrow keys
on your keyboard to try different images
on your cover (or whatever file you used).
Here's what it would look like with a
tighter composition (during the shoot,
I usually vary the zoom amount quite a
bit, so I have everything from tight head
shots like this, to ²⁄3-length shots, to
full-length shots, because ya just never
know which one is going to look best,
so I cover 'em all).
Step Six:
When you look at the image in the
previous step, did you notice that he's
positioned off to the right a little bit?
Luckily, you can reposition the cover to
see what it would look like with him
right in the center. Just press-and-hold
the Command (PC: Ctrl) key and your
cursor changes into the grabber hand
(shown circled here in red). Now, just
click-and-drag on the cover and it moves
left/right. What's kind of weird at first
is that it doesn't move your image inside
the cover. It actually moves the cover. It
takes a little getting used to at first, but
then it becomes second nature.
