Blending Pictures

Here are the two pictures what I will be using:

Let’s Get Started!

1. Create a new image, preferably with the width larger than one picture, but smaller than the two widths combined & a height equal to or lesser than the shortest picture.

2. Copy & paste the two pictures; put one on one side, one on the other.

3. Click on the upper layer; the layer that you want to blend into the other image. The image with more “free space” is always a better choice. Then, click on “Add layer mask,” which is the second left-most button on your Layers window.

This will create a layer mask on the uppermost layer for you.

4. Immediately after doing so, click on your gradient tool. Make sure that your colors are set to black (#000000) and white (#FFFFFF).

5. Now, on your upper layer, drag the gradient tool. Hold “Shift” if you want a straight line. Play around with the gradient until you find the right blend.

Here’s the finished result!

If you have any questions, contact me and I’ll reply ASAP!
