#

when you move the mirror, you have to select the glass as well, using shift key, so both layers move at the same time

# Yay!
Can you put the psd online, or put up a screenshot of your layers or something please? I'm still not seeing how you're doing this.

# Cheers.
Failing that, a screenshot of the layers would do it I reckon.

# I got it to work your way with Jamie Pressley, that mirror frame, and the red faced dude with buggy eyes
but seems like my circles have to be cut exactly to the size of the glass in the frame. the hole doesnt seem to be hidden by mirror frame

# yeah, that's because it's a hole, you need to fill the hole to use it my method
maiden's method may work with that mirror, but i've never tried it

# I'm back!
Thanks for this, I'm going to try it right now.

AH FUCK YES YOU EVIL FUCKING GENUIS THAT'S ELEGANT AS FUCK!
Thank you so much! It's ages since I learned something fundamentally new in Photoshop, rather than just new shortcuts and tweaks.
If there's ever anything I can help you with please let me know... PS vectors, adjustment layers, and blend modes are areas I'm very comforable in.

# ALSO:
I noticed you said above "when you move the mirror, you have to select the glass as well, using shift key, so both layers move at the same time"
To simplify it you can just link those two layers (select them both then click the chain button at the bottom of the layers palette) then they'll always move together.

# Thanks to both of you!! here's my little success with real's method

# :)
I'm glad you asked, I've learned something here that I'll definitely use.

# you're both welcome :D
it IS very elegant and can be used in so many situations.
I'm pretty bad at a lot of things in PS, i'd like a nice colour matching tutorial though. I can occasionally get it to work well, but matching skin tones can be a pain in the ass
oh, yes, i forgot about linking layers, i don't tend to use it very often

# you might look into Dropbox
it's very fast and very cool way to store and share files--even huge ones. Plus it is free.
