Mixing Photographs (Collage Techneque)

[Lanka]

Hey!

In technics of a collage it is possible to reach unexpected results. I very much liked to be played and here my results (large size) (http://www.gottapixel.net/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/10087/limit/recent).

All is very simple, have gone!


1. Open Photoshop. Open the basic image for backgroud:

2. Open another image which you want to mix with previous. I like this artful eyes:

3. Drag the second image on the first using Move Tool.

4. Go to Layer Palette

5. Select top image layer. Change the blending mode to Multiply. And using Move Tool, drag the top image to proper place if require.

7. Select Eraser Tool, use soft brush and erase unwanted area around of the top image. Start with the size approximately 100-300 and then to take the size of a less brush and opacity to put nearby 30-40 accurately to erase edges of the image softer.

Be played with different types of Blending Mode , Colors and choose that approaches you on style.
