    This is a great approach. I am using it for a Powerpoint presentation slide that is headed to NYC for a meeting with Sony BMG on Thursday. I cropped and spherized some of their artists’ faces and blended them into the bubbles.

    One key issue that I had to troubleshoot working through your tutorial:

    I feel like you may have dropped a step or two of deleting unneeded background layers between 16 and 17. According to your screen shots and my project file, the background of the inverted, merged layer still has a surrounding white square that was captured during the merge copy because the black background still existed. That carries over into the brush and created an undesirable square stroke.
    I fixed this by deleting the black background layer and merge copying only the bubble layers over the transparent background.
    Sound right? Worked for me…
    Thanks again.
