Abstract: A method for creating digital composite files of superimposed images of an object and a setting where the object and setting are at differing locations, the method comprising the steps of first placing of a dummy within the setting; first shooting of film for capturing a setting-dummy image; removing the dummy from the setting; second shooting of film for capturing a setting image; creating a simulated setting; second placing of an object within the simulated setting; third shooting of film for capturing the object image; digitally scanning the setting image to create a digital setting image; digitally scanning the object image to create a digital object image; referencing the setting-dummy image; and manipulating the digital images to create a digital composite image; whereby the digital composite image includes a realistic composite image of the object and setting and may be output to a print media for viewing.
