I have an immediate need to overlay one image on top of another, blending the two -- like the effect you'd get if you double-exposed a film negative.
I have no idea how to to do this, and poking around the online help file isn't giving up quickly, any clues. Usually, when I poke around in Photoshop (6.0), I find it pretty undecipherable.
I know how to "place" an image however, how do you place one that is supposed to lay on the outer layer of the orginal image.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI wanted to photograph a scene that had a very wide contrast range. The range was beyond the camera's ability to obtain proper exposure in the shadows without blowing out the bright areas of the scene.
I had read that Photoshop has a capability to combine one image that recorded good detail in the highlights, with a second exposure that captured detail in the midtones and shadows. So, I put my camera on a tripod and took the two exposures while maintaining the position of my camera.
Using PS CS2 and my Windows PC, I would like to merge the two images using a layer mask to selectively include only the properly exposed portions of the images. The problem is I can't get started. The initial two steps are evading me, despite consulting all of my CS2 text references. The steps are:
1. How do I get both images on the PS screen at the same time; and
2. The first image I open in PS creates a Background layer. How do I get the second image to be a layer just above the Background layer?
I've cut out part of two Images and swapped them around, but the skin colour, lighting is all wrong. Is there any ways of blending in the two Image so it makes the Photo realistic, i don't want to use the Clone stamp tool, becaus ethen i loss all detail, and it makes the photo look like plastic.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to use Photoshop to some degree and there are all kinds of tricks out there... Well online I found images taken by an airplane in 1951 of the ground below it. They are shots of the county I currently live in. I was looking to merge some of the photographs together into bigger images. However when attemping to merge the original photographs together I've run into a roadblock. From what I can guess, the plane was flying at a different altitude and maybe a slight angle when it took each picture of the areas of the county. The images just wont line up. I attempt to rotate and skew the image but it just never seems right. I can get the rotation looking almost perfect but then some parts of the image look like its too big on one side and then too small on the other side. Its almost looks as if its been tilted on the "z-axis".

View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm creating a large map from the thousands of small, 256x256 pixel maps from google maps. I have already written a script that downloaded all the images, and saved them with a name indicating where they ought to be on the map (say, 1-1.png is top, left hand corner).
I have to now piece all of these images together. There are about 1,800 images, so doing this by hand is a real pain (I actually have already done about 1/8th of the work, and it took 1.5 hours so far). So here's my question: is there a way in photoshop to automate this.
I know about droplets and batch things, etc. But I don't know how to make 'merge two images, with the second directly placed directly below the first in the new image.' If I knew how to do this, I could create ~60 columns with everything lined up.

I have to take the faces off some people and merge them onto the pictures of others.
In other words picture a has a picture of a person, cut his face out and transpose it on another persons body. I've used the resizing tool (as the images and heads are too large) but I can not seem to get it merge right into the other picture all kinds of "seams" or border lines around the head of person a when pasting it onto person b.

I want to create an image from four monotone images to place in a document which will be printed. The overall appearance of the finished image will be monotone (a blue/grey colour) with the four images blending nicely with a relatively smooth transition.
I have created four monotone eps images. Then I have created a new file the size of the image I want to finish up with. This is a cmyk image so I can use the cmyk colour I want to use as a background for the images. I want the images to blend into this background.
I have filled the final image with the blue/grey background colour. I then placed each of the monotone images into the final image on its own layer, using the Free Transform tool to get them where I want them.
My problem is making them blend nicely into the background colour so it looks like one image - a montage or collage. I have achieved a result which is almost acceptable but I have spent a lot of time without too much progress.

I have photographed 19 individuals (full body shots, same lighting, same backdrop, etc.) and I am now trying to merge the individuals onto a background to create a group photo.
I can not grasp how I keep the individuals in proportion to each other. I am familiar with holding the shift key when transforming but how do I know that John is in proportion to Steve is in proportion to Mike etc. in the finished product?
I photographed the background with no one on it to use as the background for the group. I open each individual's photo and lasso their image and use the move tool to bring that image onto the background. But I get nervous and can't seem to get anyone to look in proportion and natural.

I want to merge (or whatever you guys call it in your graphical language) them all and create a single header for my new site. Giving it one color tone which is #456389.
For example i got the following header from a site and this guy has used 6-7 images to create one single header. Also see the images has one single color tone matching the color theme of that site.
how do I use the above 5 images to create one single header in Photoshop.
When merging groups in Photoshop CS6 (Command-E), the images are now being cropped to the document edge. I need to retain the image data for repositioning/sizing. This was not default behavior in previous versions and I can't find an option to change it.

So I'm trying to make a modified loading screen for a game (Homeworld 2 to be exact) but I'm not sure how to do this. You see the loading screen has a black background with a blue line in the shape of a hud, with the actual picture inside of it (Example, the loading bar is rendered dynamically and not part of the image). What I was thinking of doing, is erasing the inside, then copy & pasting the picture I want as a new layer over it, then cropping out the area outside the blue "hud" to give a black background with a internal picture. I was wondering if there would be a way to do that without overwriting the blue outline and having to do it manually.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a document with three "normal" layers and two hue/saturation adjustment layers. They're at the top. The next two layers, and the adjustment layers, have layer masks. The bottom layer has no mask. The blend mode between the fourth and fifth layers (counting from the top) is "Hard Light". The blend mode for all other layers is "normal", and all opacities are 100%.
When I flatten the layers, what I get is not what I had before the layers are different, hard to describe exactly how. I notice that if I merge the fourth and fifth layers (with the "Hard Light" blend mode), and only those two layers, I get the same behavior as when I flatten the entire image.
So why would merging two layers that have the "Hard Light" blend mode at 100% opacity look different than when the layers aren't merged?
I am doing a HDR image lesson (Adobe CS5 Classroom in a Book, page 139) using three .DNG files from the training CD.If I use CS5 32 bit all (model's face and background) is ok. if I use CS5 64 bit the image has bad background colors and a portion of the model's face is dark red.if possibly the DNG was created by CS5 32 bit and cannot be opened and processed in CS5 64 bit HDR?
