Manip school: Tutorial 2 - The Couple
Since the response to my first manip tutorial was so overwhelming I've decided to do a few more. Or at least one more. :P This is tutorial number two and it focuses on placing two people next to each other in a picture. Please note that tutorial one was easier than this tutorial (maybe a 5 on a scale from 1 to 10, while this is a 6 or 7) and

*lol* It is a lot of work, but not that much work. When you've started to get the hang of all the tools it doesn't take that long time. It's just a lot of steps.
The cloning stamp! Oh, it's my favourite tool in Photoshop but not the easiest to explain! I found a great tutorial on just this tool over here that I think you should look at. It's a video and really neat. :)
Masking then... I use layer masks when I want to remove (erase) something in a picture (for example the background) instead of using the eraser tool.

Thats so cool and for that, I'm adding u to my f-list *g* No problemo, dear, and welcome to the flist. Be warned though, I make wincesty art sometimes, (but it's never rated higher than pg-13.)
However, I still dont get how u drag the selection from the bottom layer to the top..coz I did it and no difference.
Okay, so I do this in two steps, first I select the area I want as a new layer. By right clicking on my canvas I get an option to copy it onto a new layer (my PS is in Swedish so I can't tell you exactly what it says). Now I've got a new layer above my base. If I select this one in my list of layers and drag and drop it onto the top of the list, it should work for you.
And I forgot one more thing, how do u tilt your pic? Have the layer you want to tilt selectecd, press [ctrl] and [T] on your keyboard. A box appears around the object in your layer. If you hover your marker over the corners you'll see arrows which will let you tilt it ( ... )

Well, when you press [ctrl] + [T] a new toolbar appears underneath the "File", "Edit" etc menu. If you press the button that looks like this:
