Not sure what the technical term for this is but I have PSE and would like to know the steps on combing these photos.

Open image 1. Open image 2. If they are not already "floating" then go to the Arrange icon (just to the right of Help in the menu bar) and select Float All in Windows. Click on image 2 so it is the active window. Grab the thumbnail of image 2 from the Layers Palette and drag and drop it on image 1. (If the Layers Palette is not visible in the Bin, go to Windows in the menu bar and click on Layers to make it appear.) Make sure this new, two layer image is the active image (click on it). Click on the top layer to make sure it is active. Click the Add Vector Mask icon at the bottom of the layers palette to add a mask to the top layer. Make sure background and foreground colors are set to default (press D). Click on the layer mask that you created to make sure it is active. Press Alt-Backspace to fill the mask with black. Switch foreground and background colors (press X). Select the brush, set it to about 175 pixels, soft edge, and 50% opacity. Still on the mask, paint over the couch on the right with the white brush. Keep painting until the second figure is fully revealed. Done! To add to this, you may want to have photoshop align the layers. After copying the 2nd layer over to your image, select both layers in the palette, then use Edit->Auto-align layers (the auto setting should work fine). Justin

I'm not sure if it has an auto-align command or not. I'm not aware that it does. Fortunately, these are so well done that they match up perfectly. Ace Rimmer -- "What a guy!"
