Here's a before shot of my Grandson. I had asked my husband to blow bubbles for him so I could get a shot of him with the bubbles, the problem was I couldn't get either one of them to move to where the light was coming from the right direction, or where I could get a cleaner background. I did clone out part of the backround in the before shot as to not have a painted on sign with phone number on it in a public forum. But you'll get the idea... here's the shot...
My Grandson lives a ways away so I don't get to see him all that much, and knowing I wouldn't have another chance anytime soon to re-capture the moment I decided to see what I could do with it in Photo Impact. So I cloned out the entire background, and adjusted the levels, and played with the curves. Then added bubbles using the particle effects, and here's what I ended up with.
