We had a vacation in Southern California last month, and I shot this series of my son and the pool...he loved every minute...

Geez....would you tell your kids not to do that...one of them is gonna get hurt! :)

How did you manage that? All PS work? That had to be pretty tedious!

Cool effect however.

Randy, LOL...

I used PCSC3's "Merge" feature to put 4 different shots together. The output of this process is 4 layers, one with each picture. The benefit of the merge is that it tries to line up all of the backgrounds...which it did beautifully. I then went in and changed the layer masks to show the parts of Nick that I wanted displayed, remove extra splash water, etc. Took me about an hour of playing around with it...

Good one. I'm going to have to learn how to do that.

It's pretty cool...I was playing around with CS3 and stumbled across it...
