Superimposing images



I've had several request, on and off the blog, asking how to superimpose images. Be aware this is not my expertise, but I'll try to explain it as simply as I can.

Photoshop.

That's the starting point.
  • First you need to open two images in photoshop. (They won't be together.)
  • Resize them to be the same size.
  • Copy one of them.
  • Click the other photo and paste your second image in. It should completely cover the other image in a new layer. (Now they're both together.)
  • Slide the opacity bar until you can see both images.

  • The move tool allows you to position them.


Hope this helps...

  4. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I am always wanting to learn how to do more things in my Photoshop.

    I hope you are having a wonderful summer. I have been so busy getting ready for two shows and several trunk showings coming up so I am working like a madwoman!
