the Resample checkbox,

select Preserve Details

2.0 from the Resample

drop-down menu, set the

Width to 5760 pixels, and

click OK.

Press Command-J

(PC: Ctrl-J) twice to dupli-

cate the Background layer

two times. Double-click

the name of the top layer

and rename it “Bridal

Party.” Rename the other

copy “BG Blur.”

STEP TWO: Make sure

the Bridal Party layer

is the active layer and

go to Select>Subject so

Photoshop will make a

preliminary selection of

the ladies. Use the Quick

Selection tool (nested

below the Object Select

tool [W] in the Tool-

bar) with the Add and

Subtract modes in the

Options Bar to clean up

any portions of the selec-

tion that look obviously

wrong. Pay attention to

the space between the

dresses where the back-

ground shows through.

Tip: Press-and-hold the

Option (PC: Alt) key to

temporarily switch to the

Subtract mode.
