composite images

Merged visual elements

Composite images are pictures made by combining elements from multiple sources into a single image.

In photography and digital art, compositing merges separate photographs or graphics: The movie poster was a composite image of actors who never stood together.

In police work, composite images are facial reconstructions assembled from witness descriptions, built feature by feature to approximate a suspect's appearance.
