Question
Hi Candice,

I have Adobe PhotoShop 7.0, and I'm still learning it.  I want to edit a picture of someone sleeping by creating a bubble over top the sleeping person, with a picture of what they are dreaming.  I think I can create the bubble using the shape tool, but I don't know how to get a photo inside the bubble.  How do I insert one photograph into another?  Thanks!

Answer
Hey Cassie,

open the file where the bubble is

move the picture over

move the bubble over the part of the picture you want...bubbled :)

while in the bubble layer, apple/ctrl click the picture of the bubble in the bubble layer. This will select the bubble.
(this is will select everthing else in the layer so make sure the bubble is on it's own layer.

click the photo layer

duplicate it (so if you mess up you have another one ;) )

click shift, apple/ctrl, I - this will select the opposite

delete  

yay!
