Re: More PSE7 Collages for Comments/SuggestionsYou're certainly getting better and better, George!
But I keep seeing the same issues. Your model never looks blended in with the rest of the picture. She always looks very obviously pasted on. There are four things you should watch out for: 1) Make sure she's of the right relative size. Particularly the picture in the Japanese garden, she looks way too large for the rest of scenery. 2) Make sure she's of the same resolution. Before you paste one picture into the other, set them to the same size and resolution. That way she won't look like a much higher resolution than the background. 3) Make sure she's of the same color temperature. Once you've pasted her onto your background, you can adjust either the Saturation/Hue/Lightness or the Set Skin Tone effects. She looks to be lit by indoor, slightly red lights while your background is lit with sunlight, which tends to be bit bluer. 4) Finally, smooth the edges around her a bit. You can select the area around her and use Selection/Refine edge to create some slight feathering. Right now her edges are so harsh that she looks very obviously pasted onto the background. Have you had a chance to check out my three-part tutorial on doing this kind of work yet? I show you how to use most of these techniques to blend pasted images into new backgrounds.

Re: More PSE7 Collages for Comments/SuggestionsSteve, the feathering on this is 43px!
I used a green filter to make the skin and clothing of the model reflect the light emanating from the surrounding greenery. Bob, your masks make it so very easy to drop the model behind the side of the bridge, so that just a smidgen of the top of her boots is showing. in advance for any additional suggestions.
