Process:
I started with the background paper and used inverted masking to extract the images from the big photo. Then I superimposed the extracted wine glasses. Once I had these images in place, I began to work on the background, as described in the upcoming tutorial. The last touch, probably because I had just finished Carly Simon's autobiography and had the lyrics clouds in my coffee in my head, was the addition of some clouds to the wine glasses.
