Note

I'm not a photoshop expert, everything I know about is Self-taught...
My first tutorials have a lot of TYPOS!!! If you don't like them don't read them, and DON'T complain!

To mix 2 pictures in one


Open both pictures and put aside the one that you will be using as a background (or main picture)

Now working in our second picture


With the Magnetic Lazo Tool select the image you want to paste into your background

I want to copy my guy so... so I selected him then CTRL C and CTRL V onto the other picture (the background)

Do the same with the girl (using the Magnetic Lazo select her, copy and paste onto the background...


One you have pasted the images into the background

Move them around with the MOVE TOOL to find a perfect place for them.


Once you have decided where to put your images
  1. Select the BRUSH TOOL (pick a 46 in. brush)

  2. Mode Clear

  3. Opacity 39%

One you have selected the BRUSH TOOL

Brush all over your images (Judy and Carl)that will clear them a little bit and create the effect you are looking for


Once you have brushed all over the images its time to finish up the picture
  1. open a new layer

  2. Select the whole picture using the Rectangular Marquee Tool

  3. Go to Edit

  4. Stroke

It will open a new window... make the stroke 15pixels



  1. Edit - stroke 15 pixels -

  2. Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur make it 4.7 pixels

  3. that will create the white frame for your picture

save and you are done!!!

Those are some really nice tutorials, and I'm sure they'll be of help to those of us who have photoshop - which I sadly don't have; I've got PSP.
I really appreciate all the hard work youput into writing those tutorials for us.
Good job!

Don't worry about it, Sandra; I've got Paint Shop Pro, and thankfully I know how to use it ;)

I'm just glad you did those tutorials, because most people seem to have photoshop, and some are really lost as to how to use it.
At least with your tutorials they'll now be able to actually do something with their program :)

YAY Congrats, it's not that hard, right?

I can't believe how easy it is! Thanks to you, I have more confidence in myself with Photoshop - I was so afraid of it before and would get so frustrated that I couldn't do what I was trying to do. But now, thanks to all of your tutorials (all of which I've tried :) ) I almost look forward to opening photoshop and seeing what I can do with it.

Thanks!
