Seamless Group Photo Composite

I have two separate images that need to become one convincing scene. One photo contains three people who never made it into the larger group shot, and the other is the existing group picture. Your task is to create a brand-new group photograph that blends everyone from both originals into a single, cohesive image.

The final result should look as if everyone posed together at the same moment—consistent perspective, matching lighting, balanced color, and no visible traces of editing. Please work in high resolution so the image can be printed later without quality loss, and supply both the flattened JPEG/PNG plus an editable layered file (PSD or similar) so minor tweaks can still be made if needed.

If you specialize in portrait retouching, masking, and realistic compositing with tools like Photoshop, this should be a straightforward assignment. Let me know any questions you have about positioning or style before you start, and feel free to suggest subtle enhancements that will make the overall composition even stronger.
