Hey Jessica, as always love your gallery. This one is great. If you wouldn't mind, could you tell me exactly how you acheived this look. I know you said you merged two photos together. Since I'm just getting familiar with PS I would love to know how you did this. You can e-mail me if you would like. Nice job. Thanks so much in advance. #443125

Thanks Lisa!
These are the photo's that I started out with. I'll explain it the best I can!! ( I will use photo #1 & photo #2 as examples)
1. I opened both images
2. Select second image.
3. From the top bar select filter - extract.
4. Use the highlight tool to outline the part of the image that you want to extract.
5. Click on the fill tool which is located under the highlighter tool. Click to fill in images that you have chosen to extract. Select OK.
6. Drag image from photo #2 to photo #1 using the move tool located in the tool bar.
7. Change the size of the extracted section from photo #2 if needed. Select Edit - transfrom - scale. Play with it until you have it where you want it. Hit enter.

If you want to flatten your image so that it takes up less space on your computer you can go to the layers palette and flatten the iamge.
I hope this was some help. I just played around until I got the effect that I wanted.

I should add that I did desaturate the 1st photo and adjusted the levels to both photos. #443281
