awwwww...it was nothing, Anne...you did it all by yourself!

universally...

to add another photo to your current photo would be done in "layers"

to remove spots from your photos, you can use that eraser looking thing and then use "clone" tool.

then there are lasso tools and other tools and

I wish I had more time to get good at it...

SandyC is really good with these things, her merging of DM to that firefighter

is probably done by "lassoing" DM's photo and then adding that to the fireman's photo.

Then, she probably used "clone" and "erase" (or Stamp tool) to clean it up around the borders.

I could do that but not as seamless as she did it. So I'd like to know how to do those better as well....

and thanks Jo for always finding us all the free stuff to play with...
