Description
A basic tutorial on photomanipulation. Hope this comes in handy to any aspiring manippers.I'm pretty new to photomanipulation myself, but I've done a lot of retouching and graphic design, where I use layer masks a lot.
If anyone spots any errors, feel free to let me know.
FULLVIEW FOR THE TUTORIAL.

Thanks

Thank you so much. I have desperately trying to find out how to drop one pic or a part of a pic into another one. This I think is what I will need. Hope it is anyway, but even if it ain't I thank you for the effort you put in to help others.

Thank you for this tutorial!
ps
I have a little question, does it seem that, the point of view of the girl is a little lower than the point of view of the background? I mean, in sense of prospective...sorry for my creepy English...>_<

Sure, I agree there. However, I was doing this example as simply a tutorial for masking, so I wasn't really worried about the actual end result here... The photomanip in the tutorial is not an actual piece in my gallery, more just to show what layer masks are capable of doing.
Cheers!
