Your step 1. references a technique ("Picture Merge to Background" technique (AKA "Picture as Paper")) that I can't find any information on. Is there another tutorial on that, or is that possibly in the help documentation?

I can't find it anywhere either )-:
I am afraid it is for Mac users only with the SBC Studio that has been discontinued??? The catalog also says "use the inspector to apply a false color", and the photograph is reversed on the paper/background. I can't figure out how to apply any of these steps.

I am having the same issues. Has anyone received an answer. This look slike a great technique and can't figure it out either.

I don't know what steps they took, but I was able to accomplish the result by these steps:

Right-click on photo and select "Make this photo the background". Click on the lock for the background to unlock it and then make any stylized changes you may wantlike how she mirrored the image and tinted it pink). If you want to make a mirrored image, select the background and under Arrange select Rotate - Flip horizontally. When done with all changes, relock the background.
