You see how the waterfalls fall!! lol right into dianes head ? well I posted this anyway because I really need your feedback of what I can do to make this NOT happen I moved the darn picture all over the background and it doesn't work you see the pixels any other wway H E L P !! MAYDAY!! call..lol

:) good start to it Evie... Suggestion if you truely want to redo it, although this is a lovely version. Use the smudging tool in PSP 8. I have 9, which smudges much better. Can't remember where it is in the tool bar. But if you can find it, smudge settings can be at opacity 25 and hardness 45. Should work or you can adjust. That would blend the falls into her hair and look as if they are part of it ... also would work on blending around the outside of the images. Barring that if you also have Super Blade Pro, there is a setting in it for 'ghosting'. With the original photos, you set another layer, then ghost the image in Super Blade Pro. :)))

Fun image and nice picture of two friends!!

Dear Evie, have I ever mentioned I was blond? I didn't see the waterfall in her hair until you pointed it out - it just kind of blended in with the bangs! I live in a very strange world! ;-) As ppetersen suggested, you could use the smudging tool to blend them together little. Or I might sample her hair and paint transparent layers over the water until it was subdued enogh - or go the other was and sample the water and replace her hair with falling water! Or just paint in enogh water where it's a little more uniform so it seems like just streaks in her hair. You might also drop the contrast on her picture so her hair isn't quite as dark so it blends better wit hthe water. Just a few ideas. It's always fun to see friends together - this place is so much about friendship! Excellent work!!! Love, Meredith

I think you need to do the falls and faces as separate layers then you can set contrast different in the faces after you paste in cloned forms at 30-50% transparency. I went to California in 1965 too but I found no such good friends and left in 1978.

I really liked it the way it is. But will be intresting to see it the way you had wanted it. You'll have to show us. Keep them comming Evie. I wish I could just be able to do any of it.

well thank you everyone for the advice I will pratice just that (allof it lol)tallipindo you just didn't meet the right people and well you didn't meet me I'm a great friend or so I've been told many times over lol.my ex-baby sitter for my kids which now my boys are all in their 40's well her and I are also are so close you cannot separate us at times lol.ty ty ty thank again:

Fantastic Evie! I think you did a super job with this and the blending looks pretty good. I think its a very touching and meaningful Picture. Excellent and a Vote.

Well done Evie must say you are a very pretty lady and you have been a great friend to me here at "Rendo" George.

Well I see you have been very busy since the last time I was able to post. Very impressive work going on here. The more I see, The better all of it looks. Keep up the great work.

well there's familiar name JOan lol meet my sister from Canada everyone!

Hi Evie.. Not sure what you wanted as a final image.. But.. Load the background image 1st. Select 'add raster layer' (layers command). Load second image.. loads to 2nd layer. Use eraser tool on 2nd layer and the under layer (Background) will show through. You can also move the second layer around and rotate it with the layers button. I'm sure you can also adjust the opacity of layer 2 after that, to get the right amount of transparency where it's not completely erased. Use Merge (layer button) to make into one layer when ready.. Hope this helps. Like the image as is.. Cool image.. Cute ladies! Hugs.. Dave :^) V
