    Teaching myself in CS3 for the most part.

    For this piece I sampled the blue sky and choose SELECT|COLOR RANGE then adjusted the slider using the black matte option until I had the tree isolated, then jumped it to a separate layer and slipped a moon layer in between the original image and the new layer.

    I played with different blending modes on each layer and screwed it up a few times headscratch.gif but am happy with the final result, there is only a tiny blue halo around the branches that overlap the moon. I have about 10 different versions of this one...here are a couple more.

    Here is one with a giant moon...

    And this one with some obvious manipulations
