Ok I will post the pics I used & then I found one I should have used & see what we can come up with.

Ok so my original plan was to make 2 layers, & simply layer them...how hard could that be, right?!
The 2 problems:
#1. Layering : I have NO idea how to use the layers/masks, etc. & cannot find a decent video tutorial that makes sense to me. All I could find were cut/copy/paste how to's...

#2 The 2 different exposures:: The reason this happened is b/c I set up my tripod & left it there for 4 days trying to catch my husband walking out the door! Having to be quick...The halfway decent good shot I got was on a different day than the shot of me on the floor! By the time I got the shot of him...the sun had gone down...hence not being able to do another of me to match exposures!

Today I went back through all the shots trying to find a better match... so here is the shot maybe I should have used... I didn't choose this one b/c it was so dark & the left shoe is in motion...but maybe that isn't such a bad thing...

Thanks again for taking the time to help this Rookie! I doubt I will make the deadline at his point, but I have a backup shot to enter. At least I will have the know how for next time... & maybe it will help others struggling with post processing!
