Pixelmator: Headswapping, backgrounds, gloom effect, and more

I've been getting a lot better at photo editing.  Just wanted to show you some of what I've been working on for my mom's Tapestry website.

I'm most proud of this one, in which I swapped my mom's head.  The other stuff is fairly commonplace - removing background, smoothing skin tone, etc.

The group really liked this picture but as you can see it's a tad overexposed.  This was a lot of fun too because you can see that I removed the car on the left side of the picture.  I also think I did a fairly good job of fixing the exposure and the levels.  I got defeated by that lens glare in that lady's hair in the background... I'm still learning.

This stuff is a lot of fun, and I'm getting faster at it - learning all the shortcuts and such.  Recently, I've discovered that a lot of my photo edits are ending up on Facebook as profile pictures.  I wouldn't know, since I deleted my account months ago.
