Blending Images

[quicksilvery1pore]

Can anybody explain to me about blending images together, or provide a tutorial about it?

The most basic way to blend images together is using the mask tool- in Photoshop, that's the circle-inside-a-square icon at the bottom of the layers palette.

Put your two images on separate layers, then create a layer mask on the top layer and add a white-to-black gradient on there. If you want to fade it any further manually, you can use the brush tools (make sure to keep in mask mode- if you're out of it, click on your mask again; you'll see the paintbrush icon in your layer turn into the circle square one). Black fades completely, shades of grey shade partially depending on how dark, white makes it completely opaque.

You can also take an image and then paste another image on top of it. Select the marquee tool and set the feather to around 20. Then just delete certain areas, so the original image shows through and blends with the image pasted on top. (This is with Photoshop, btw.)

Did that make sense? lol

Someone asked about this type of thing earlier.

This is the tutorial that I used to learn about layer masking and blending:

does anyone know of any blending tutorials for PSP? i've looked at the one on psptube thats listed, and it's not really what i wanted...

Well, what I usually do, is use the spray can(at quite a broad size) with a color that mataches both of the pictures well. I spray onto the place where the two images meet, and then I blend them with my blend tool. This will make it look like this:
