Photoshop Secret Revealed

If you are interested in manipulated photography or just looking like you can levitate then you will want to read about this little trick. All you need is a camera, a model(can be yourself), and an object with a hard surface. To achieve this frozen in mid air photo you need to take two photos. The first should be a picture of just the background you want with nothing else in it. For the second one you will need to place your object with a hard surface into the frame and find a way to sit on it in a way that you have as little of your body as possible touching it. Once you find your balance and the pose you want snap the photo and upload both into Photoshop. Open both images and overlay the second image on top of the first one. Then you simply use the eraser tool to get rid of the object you used to sit on. When you do this the object will be replaced by the original background and give off the effect that you are floating! It's a pretty simple manipulation that I would recommend to anyone who has a camera and access to Photoshop. Don't be shy give it a try.
