Answer
I know there is a new catch phrase around: "There's an app for that", but guess what...... not EVERYTHING is done via apps.
Sometimes, we still need to learn how to do something and need to make an effort to get to the result.
Other times, there really IS an app for it, but doing it yourself the "hard" way gives far superior results.
Learn how to use a proper image "editing" program.
Adobe Photoshop, PS Elements, PaintShopPro, Gimp or even Photoscape (the last two are free).
Using a website is fine if you only want to do a few photos, but resident programs are the much better option if you have more or want to do this regularly. If it MUST be a free website, try http://pixlr.com/ or http://www.sumopaint.com/ or http://aviary.com/ .
Re question #1:
Open the girl photo
Add a galaxy shot as another layer
Add a layer mask and shape the âcloudâ with a very soft edged brush on the layer mask
Go to blending modes, choose drop shadow and work the various options until the shadow looks right.
About question #2:
There are countless tutorials aroundâ¦.. it would only take you a few seconds on Google to find them all.
Levitation pictures
Here are the Photoshop steps - if you have a different program, the same principles still apply. If you're only using a website, it may not work - most websites are much more limited. If you want/need something better but can't afford Photoshop, just download Gimp - it is free and legal.
1.Put the camera on a tripod and do NOT let it move even a tiny bit
2.Take a photo of the room/area without any people or furniture in the way
3.Take a photo with your subject on a stool/ladder/box/whatever. Drape the clothes to hide any straight lines that will be obvious later on.
4.Open both photos in their own layer, the empty room/area as the bottom layer
5.Apply a layer mask to the top layer, and use a black pen/brush to hide the stool/ladder. Now the "clean" layer will show through.
6.Flatten the layers.
7.Use the burn tool with a very soft brush to create a shadow under your floating subject to make it all look more realistic.

Answer
Most iPad apps are pretty cool. Some of my favorites are...
1. iPhoto, This app is pretty cool because you can take and edit photos very well.. in a fun way.
2. Gangster Rio, Where's my Water... All sorts of cool games.
The iPad 2 offers a brilliant high resolution display, not as high as the iPad 3, but still pretty good. It also has a dual core A5 chip which runs at about 1Ghz. Overall, the iPad 2 is AWESOME! To be honest, there are way too many things to explain.
