Photoshop Tutorial - Blending Two Images
1.Create a new layer or use CRTL+N. I name the layer “Blending”. Mine is width10 inches, height 8 inches, but you can make it any size you want.2.Click on the Foreground Color swatch in the toolbox and then click OK. In thistutorial I chose a dark color (brown #5c4b01, R-92, G-59, B-1). Fill thebackground with this color. See the image below.
 
3.Open the first image you want to use in your two image blend. Click the movetool in the toolbox or press “v” to switch to the move tool. Click and drag theimage into the brown background. If the image is larger, you can resize it bypressing CTRL+T to bring up the Free Transform (or you can go under theImage menu and choose Free Transform). See the image above.4.Open the second image and follow the directions in step 3 as shown above.
 
5.Remember to rename your layers in the Layer Palette. Make the 3
rd
layeractive (flower layer). Click the brush tool or press “b”. Choose a soft largebrush (200 pixels) from the brush picker. I adjusted the Hardness to 10%.6.On the Layer Palette, click on the “Add a Layer Mask” icon or add a VectorMask (as shown above). While the 3
rd
layer is active, take the 200 pixelsbrush and move it in a circular motion until the 2
nd
layer is softly blended intothe other image.
