How to make people float / hover in Photoshop

This tutorial shows you how to make people and objects float or levitate. This is one of those tutorials that everyone want to do. It’s a lot of fun to suspend reality and suspend objects in the air. Its relatively easy to do this, but there are a couple of things that are really important to know. Check out this tutorial and defy gravity. Then I encourage you to experiment and try this with a few different images and come up with something fun on your own.

    Hi Colin,
    Love this tutorial. I want to try this with my family pictures. I am using a PC Laptop with Windows 10, and Photoshop CC 2018. I would like to know how to match colors, on some of my pictures that have gotten discolored spots in the older photos.

    My initials are PC, so that’s what I use. I just wish I could get a little more RAM and a new, faster processor. I have been using the same one for 60 years and I forget a lot. LOL
