About the Image(s)

My wife's French niece chose to have her wedding reception in costume at a Medieval Castle. We rented costumes in the U.S. and flew to France, costumes in hand. The wizard and the knights were 3 of many actors who brought the castle to life.
Look closely and you can see that I used LAYER MASKS to remove the wizard's hands. I applied the QUICK SELECTION tool to the mayor's waving hand and CUT & PASTED it twice onto the wizard being careful to use the IMAGE ROTATION, FLIP HORITONTAL tool to give the wizard two different hands.
I needed 2 LAYER MASKS to separate the knights into usable figures and used the MOVE tool to put them in place in from of each glass. I reduced each knight's OPACITY to make it look as if they were inside the glass. Unfortunately, the white reflection on the bottom of the each glass was visible through each knight's leg. I used the QUICK SELECTION tool to CUT & PASTE the appropriate parts of each leg to cover the white reflection.
The QUICK SELECTION tool enabled me to select the wizard's robe and apply the HUE slider in the HUE/SATURATION ADJUSTMENT LAYER to change the color of his robe.
I darkened the white parts of the wizard's costume using the BRUSH tool, reducing the FLOW to 1%, and painting over the white areas.
I created the gray table/platform by painting with a dark gray BRUSH and using the LAYER MASK to carve out the table/platform.
