Beautiful job on this one. My husband is in the AF. I would love to know how you achieved this so that I could possibly do the same thing. Would you share your technique with me? Really enjoyed your gallery. Thanks, Lisa #640086

Cynthia M. Anning July 09, 2004

Lisa - I would be happy to share the general techniques used here. I am using Photoshop CS. This composition/collage has several cropped other photos in separate layers. I work with the opacity settings and also use the eraser where necessary. This type of thing just takes a LOT of practice using Photoshop or other comparable programs. As stated, each cropped photo is placed on in a different layer. I select a layer at a time from the layer palette and apply the opacity settings and other levels accordingly. Hope this helps! #640132
