Need Help Layers and the Order

[ozphoto]

I did this wedding couple in a wine glass months ago and can't create it again? I have tried using the afphoto file to back track with no luck. I have attached the file, I just need to know the steps I used to create this in the first place. I feel embarrased to ask for help? I am a newbie at this!

You're file shows what you done. Simply create a mask for the bride/groom layer. Then using the Paintbrush, paint out the areas you don't want, leaving them inside the wine glass.

I just took what you had a little further, and masked over them, allowing the liguid line, to show over them. Also using a brush opacity of around 10-15%, and Flow around 20%, I painted over the lower parts. I think this further enhances the illusion of them being inside the wine glass, partially submerged in the wine.

Sorry I need to understand the steps and settings cause I just tried it again and could not get it to work I think my steps are all messed up...

I done a quick video using your file. This is how I would approach it, others will have different ways.

Here's another file, where I moved the bride & groom up in the glass. I also used the opposite approach on the mask. Instead of painting out what was not wanted, I started with a black mask, and painted in.
