Ghostly Possibilities

This is a bit new to me and I'm already seeing that I will have to devote more time to perfecting this.  This technique involved working with inner and outer glow.  Unfortunately while I could not follow along with the instructions because the menus that were available to them were NOT available to me - but I was able to do enough in order to create this effect.  I'm getting MUCH better at selections and in this lesson learned the
"Control T" option which adds a little box around an object you have added to your photo so that you can re-size that alone.

Here are the photos that I started with:



I had to first rotate the photo and then make a selection of the person shown above and then dragged them to the other photo where I worked on making it ghost-like.

Again, I have a lot of working to do with this one but here are some of the results I was able to achieve.




In this photo, I adjusted the hue/saturation to make it look fall-like and to hopefully give the appearance of a sun setting on the trees...
