Alright cool stuff guys. So, now I gotta question, I got this really creative idea of wanting to "combine" the two images say in photoshop, but I want the b/w one to be upside down right beside it so that the limbs meet up and it kind of gives it a "strange surreal" look to it, would any of you guys know how I could do that or would it be too much trouble for one of you guys to do it? I wanna get it printed off and put it over my room with the rest of my pictures. Chad

Actually, nevermind about the whole upside down thing, I don't think I can do it that way. I think I'm just gonna have it back to back. Tell me if you think this would look pretty cool. Chad

Next press "V" to utilize the move tool, and drag the grayscale image on top (and into) the RGB image. (At this point you should have two layers in the original RGB file) Close the grayscale image.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. (The images should now be fully aligned center.) 4. Now press "C" for the crop tool and drag the crop extension handles beyond the border (to the right). Be sure to drag the extension handles far enough to have room for the 2 images to exist side by side. 5. Now with grayscale image selected, go to the Edit Menu and chose Transform> Flip Vertical. Next Edit> Transform>Flip Vertical. 6. Now press "V" to select the move tool once again and press the arrows keys to align the two images up to your satisfaction. Note: If you hold down the shift key while pressing the arrow keys you will be able to nudge the object faster at 10 pixels a pop. 7. Now press "C" to call up the crop tool and crop off any excess you may have in the frame. Save. Hope this helps,... Also you may want to adjust the curves and levels a bit.

Looks like you may need to resize them a bit to get a good match up. Mike

Great stuff man, Thank you very much. I'm still a beginner at all that stuff. One more thing that "beckybun" brought up is she thought it would also look good if the leaves we're left green in the picture and the background was monochrome how hard exactly is that to do? Chad

Again, thanks for the help! I've finally learned how to USE my A610 pretty well, and am actually 4th place in the rankings in the powershot challenges BUT I hardly know anything with Paintshop and Photoshop, which I feel hinders me at times. After step three just add a layer mask to the graysacaled image, Press "D" to default the colors to black and white. Mike
