y five year old asked me one day whether she could have her photo taken with
the The Little Mermaid (Disney's cartoon character). I told her that The Little
Mermaid was actually an imaginary character - a cartoon - and that it wasn't
possible for her to have a photo taken with her. It didn't occur to me what
she meant until a trip to our local mall. An enterprising couple had a small
set-up where they would take photos of children and superimpose it against a
photo of their favorite cartoon character or hero. It was obviously a thrill
for these kids.

This money maker does require a fair bit of investment - you will need a digital
camera, lighting equipment, a computer, image editing software and the skill
to operate the software. What you do is basically take a photo of your customer
against a green or blue backdrop. In the resulting photo, the green or blue
background is digitally removed from the image, the edges of customer softened
(feathered) and then superimposed against the photo of their chosen cartoon
character. The final (superimposed) image is then printed on photo paper which
makes it look very professional. You would charge your customer according to
the size of the print required. You might want to check out your local laws
governing the use of copyrighted images or characters before you start. This
is a nice weekend money maker you can set up when the malls are crowded with
shoppers.
