Hi everyone. First post - just took this photo this weekend, and used it as my first practice with layers (I bought a mag with a tutorial). Pretty exciting for me to discover a small bit of the potential from photoshop.

I saw this street performer as I was rushing through the streets, and snapped 3 quick shots. This was the only one that came out decent looking.

Here is the link

    very nice
    Very nice. Was it quite a bit of work doing the selecting so you could isolate the subject?

    Those 'statue folks' in the cities are amazing. Can you tell I am very rural? Nice shot, and welcome to Dgrin.

    Josh, it wasn't too difficult getting the image onto another layer. I used the magnetic wand thingamabobby, and most of the image had enough contrast with the background to be selected automatically. So, it turned out to be a really easy job on my part.

    Here's an attempt at attaching the picture:

    There we go - fixed it! Just had to copy image location, not link location. Thanks all!

    Glad you got it figured out so quickly! Looks great and learning to use layers opens doors to endless possibilities thumb.gif
