Subject: Trying to learn how to photobomb

I have Photoshop CS3. Never really played with it that much. But now I am retired and have been playing around with it.
I wanted to do something to entertain the grandkids so I took a picture of each one of them in front of a green screen. I
thought I would put them in a picture with some of their favorite stars or in interesting places. Here is the problem that I
have run into. I get their picture in the other photo with no problem. I use the color range tool to take out the green screen.
But now they look like they are in front of the other picture. When I try to move their picture to the back, the other picture
hides their picture. In other words, I want them to look like they are behind the person in the other photo. I searched on Google
and most all of the results are showing this joke for photo bombing in Photoshop. I need find a result that mentions adjustment
layers, but it doesn't go into details. Is there a tutorial out there that explains how to do this? I don't even know if you are suppose
to use adjustment layers. If I could find a video or a tutorial then I could at least give it a try. Even though I am quite old, I am very
new to Photoshop. And I only have CS3. Thanks.

This might be ... http://designshack.net/articles/graphics/a-complete-beginners-guide-to-masking-in-photoshop/
what you want to do to add your grand kids is to turn the layer they are not on into 2 or more layers, so you can sandwich them (The GK) between the foreground (the favorite star) and the background.
Good Luck!

Hello Wayneout

Even thou you have only CS3 there are still many things you can do with it most of the features in newer version are still available in the older CS3 which I felt was a very stable and good release. This youtube channel has many tutorials that can still be done in CS3 and may give you a resource for learning more of what Photoshop can do Blue Lightening TV
