Help Please....

[Passion - Photography]

I don't know if I should have posted this here or in the tutorial section?

But anyways, I just took this picture of some coffee and oreos, and I really would love to know if at all possible, could I add steam to the cup? Originally, it had steam, but I kept rearranging it and my steam went away. I know I could retake the photo, if I got my position right away, but even then I'm afraid with my camera I wouldn't be able to capture it.

So is there any way possible for me to add a picture of steam or something with Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo x2? I know it's a baby editing program..but it can do some things. If you know of a tutorial that would help me, please, please let me know. For me it's just a little boring without the steam.

Also, any other ways you would edit it differently?
(This just might be in the wrong category...sorry.)

Thanks oldwolf! Those were very helpful!
I re-edited it with steam. It looks pretty nice.

I wouldn't call PSP X2 a baby editing program. I use PSP X2 more than I do PS CS4.

if you have a water bottle with built in straw that bikers use, attach a lighted cigarette inside the bottle to the other end of the straw. when you press the bottle, smoke will come out of the other end of the straw that you can put on top of the coffee before shooting. wait until it is just a wisp of smoke. the bg should be dark to see the smoke. but remember smoking is not good for your health, :-)
