Thanks Mike. I've never really played around w/ layer masks that much. I figured out what you were doing though. I'm still playing around with it, but what I have now is a much better start than what I posted. Think I'll print each and see which I like then.
The reason that I wanted this type of effect was that psychologically, I think it portrays that my daughter is developing her own autonomy and in doing so, her dependence on mom and I will fade more and more which is sad, but a part of life. I think the unedited image shows a more cooperative relationship and has a different feel, if all that makes sense.
I appreciate the help on this. Learned a new skill myself.
