Let’s make some selections to use as a guide.Ĭhoose the butterfly layer and Press Ctrl/Cmd+J to duplicate the layer.Ĭlick on the butterfly layer to make it active,Ĭlick the eye to the left of the other 2 layers to hide them for now.Ĭlick on the white to select the background Notice we can now paint over the cheeks and start to see a nice mix between the layers. If you are using a mouse or trackpad, just use a low opacity and build up the paint. When you press lighter, you will get less strength on the mask, like shading with a pencil.
Under Transfer>Opacity>Control choose Pen Pressure. If you are using a pressure sensitive tablet such as a Wacom or Microsoft surface, change pen pressure for opacity. (When you are more experienced, try using flow, I have a tutorial here on Brush Flow vs Opacity in Photoshop.) With the Brush selected (B) lower the opacity to a lower amount. The key to a smooth blend is to use a low opacity and slowly build up the transitions.
Right now, we have a pretty harsh transition between the woman’s face and the butterfly. If you want to paint the face away and use the edge of the wings, we can make selections to make it easier. Paint on the image and you will see the mask will show the areas that you paint.Ĭontinue painting to mix the the 2 layers together. Set the opacity and Flow to 100% and blend mode to normal (these are the defaults) (White hides the mask and reveals the layer where we paint). Press the D key to set the foreground color to white. This creates a black mask (inverted) and hides the contents of the layer. Hold down Alt/Option and click on the layer mask. Let’s hide the top layer with a layer mask, so we can paint in just the areas we want to show. Position the top layer and change its size by dragging on the corner handle of the transform box.Ĭhange back to normal blending mode in the layers panel. Didn’t I tell you this was better than changing opacity? Now in difference blending mode you can easily see the 2 layers positions relative to each other. Let me show you a much better way.Ĭlick where it says normal in the Layers Panel.Ĭhange the mode to Difference, by choosing it from the menu Most people lower the opacity of the top layer to see whats happening underneath. Lets seamlessness blending the layers together. Tip: Hold the Shift key as you release, to put the new image in the center. Release and the images are now combined into a layered document. Drag your cursor into the middle of the image. Put your cursor in the middle of the image and drag to the the tab of the image you want to copy it into. You can easily find a face there too.Ĭombining 2 different images in Photoshop into a single documentĬombining images is actually easy, once you know how.ġ.
