so i just wanted a cool pics for for facebook. i was just messing around with photo editing software. i want to edit a photo to make myself levitate.

i know this can be done with photoshop by taking a photo, crop urself out, thn paste it slightly higher on another background.

but i wanna know if there are other software to do so,

and if you guys have any ideas, ways to make picture look more impossible or already have photos pls feel free to share it. (not nesscesarily levitation) early thanks to anyone who replied.
 
Photoshop is the best program to use for any form of photo editing.
It may not be the easiest, but it will definately give you the best result.
PM me if you have any questions about anything.
 
I doin't know how much experience you have editing photos, so sorry if I'm preaching to the converted, but to get the best result with Photoshop, remember that, as well as cropping and pasting, you're going to have to think about your shadow, and matching your lighting to the background.
 
No Photoshop required - just a well timed photo.

The real thing is always going to look better than photoshop. Thats Why I said just to really levitate. Or simpler just jump.

Yep! The photo I posted was actually taken by Tom Isaacson while him and I were out on the strip in Las Vegas. The camera was set near the ground angled up, and he called out, "3, 2, 1," and took the picture as I jumped vertically, with legs and arms straight. The result looks pretty awesome.
 
thx j.bayme ur post was well honoured, so goes for the rest =)

but i have one question, what camera do u use? its seems to be one that is very expensive..... havent tried it when bt im guessing its just gonna be a blur when i jump.

by the way, thats was a super awesome pic.
 
why dont you just have someone take a picture of you doing a real levitation? otherwise to make it look realistic you will have to worry about shadows
 
I seem to be the only one to think this: Say you do photoshop yourself levitating 2-3 ft. What happens when your friends see it as your FB pic and ask you to do it? And then you can't? I just think it's a bad idea.
