EmMmmM~ Let's see, I don't do wallpapers, too much. I like icons, I HATE photo editing. >o< I do posters and stuff. Like blends and stuff for the stories on Soompi. Smile So yeahh you can kinda call me a freak at that. Though lately I'm RUSTY. >o< Oh yess, and resizing. Gifs such as blinkies and 100x100 gifs of videos. =]

Wendy's Blend Tutorial[/font:d1dbc41782]

1. Open up a new document. Make the image size any size that you are comfortable with. I'm going to fill my 614x431 with black since I'm inthat mood. -_-



2. Open up two pictures that you want to blend together. For me, I'll do two girls stock photos I found on Soompi.



3. So now you use the move tool (press "v" on the keyboard if you don'tknow) and drag BOTH the pictures onto the black canvas, and put them inthe place to your liking.



4. Next you need to make the second layer invisible. Meaning you go to your layers palette (circled in red) and you look at layer two and click the eye next to it that is blank a square now.



5. Now you find the layer mask(you'll see in the picture "add layer mask") which is a rectangle witha circle in the center of it. This should be found in the layerspalette box that's right below it. Click it. On layer 1 you should seea rectangle linked to it. Do the same to layer two, but then make sureyou make it invisible again.



6. In the picture above you should see the gradient tool opened. Rightclick that square in the tool box to the left (or press "G" on thekeyboard) but make sure it is the GRADIENT not the paint bucket. Now goto layer 1 and make sure you click on the BLANK layer mask that you hadadded to it. Then you simply click at the end of the layer 1 (the firstphoto) and drag it and let go. You should see a black shade going to awhite shade like so in the picture above in layer 1.

7. Do the same to layer 2. Remember that you need to use the gradienton the BLANK layer mask that is LINKED to layer 2. And you should getsomewhat similar to below.



8. The rest is up to you, so be creative. Add stock photos, blend that in. Add texture, etc. :]

Please feel free to ask me about anything if you're confused. I'd love to see your results. ^0^
Enjoy Photoshopping PS-ers~

DO NOT POST THIS TUTORIAL ANY WHERE ELSE! THIS IS ASIAN-U COPYRIGHTED BY SML

My results:



Okay I have HAD better blends. -_- Well yeahh~ you get the central idea. :]
