hey guys Jason Cipriani here a scene at how to contributor and today we're going to take a look at how to create the best group shot possible using iOS more specifically using an app called group shot on your iPad or your iPhone now you can import photos from any device that you've taken the pictures on as well as you can use the photos you've taken straight from your iPhone or your iPad so we'll get the app from the App Store it's called group shots 99 cents and then once you have the photos on your device or if you're getting ready to take some group photos you can actually take them within the app go ahead and launch the app and then we've already imported some photos so we're going to pick choose from library and then we're actually use the demo album so now what this does is we have two different sets of photos here and we've all been in this situation where you've taken group photos one kids looking at the camera the other one's looking at a squirrel the other ones not smiling or crying and you know you you have to kind of pick and choose which one is the best what group shot allows you to do is actually combine all the photos into one and make one perfect photo so what we'll do is we'll go ahead and select for photos from the first group here and hit done takes a few seconds to load all the photos and get all the information in and then once it does you're going to actually see one main photo and you could swap it out if you prefer another one to be the main photo and then you're also going to see the rest of the photos in the group so as you can see here mom and daughter aren't looking all that happy they're not even looking at the camera so what I what you do is actually use your finger color to color the area that you want to replace in and once you let go as you can see it kind of zooms in over here and picks the same area of the photo and you can decide what you want to replace that with and this one mom looks happy and we'll go ahead and select that it'll take a few seconds for it to transfer that information over into this main photo but once it does as you can see it's as good as it gets so you have the mom now looking at the camera and smiling you have the daughter over here who's not really looking at the camera she looks kind of sad in this photo so we'll go ahead and select her and in this one she kind of looks happy so we'll go ahead and select that one again a few seconds to transfer the information over and there you go really seamless you can't get into areas where you have lines and other stuff but that's a real quick look at group shot this is a great way to take and create a perfect group photo on iOS again it's in the app store for 99 cents this is Jason Cipriani with cnet how to make sure to visit us at how to cnet.com for more great tech tips
