1. You must have more than 1 picture to blend. For example, I will use 2
pictures of Gaspard Ulliel, french actor. To open them, just go to File > Open
and choose the directory where you had saved your pictures.
2. After you open them, just leave them like that, don't minimize them.
3. Open a new canvas board. Go to File > New. Choose your desired size
whether it in pixels or cm (use cm, if you want to print your projects). For
this part I set the canvas to 450x375 in pixels. After that, click OK.
4. The canvas will appear it's all blank and white.
5. In each pictures, copy and paste the pictures to the new blank canvas
board. Do it like this, in the first picture, press CTRL+A (select all), after
that CTRL+C (copy).
6. Go to the blank canvas board and press CTRL+V (paste). Repeat for the
second pictures (as so on for the third and fourth and fifth pictures).
7. Now after 2 pictures already paste to the new canvas boards, move them
into your own desired position. Use this
 to move
object in Tools at your left.
8. At the right side you will see a small window (below). Photoshop is about
layer and layer and layer and so on ... so, if you want to move object, active
the layer first. You can see the preview below that Layer 2 is the one that
active, so, to move it just use the
. If you
want to move the Layer 1, active it first. I know it looks hard, but it's all
about logical things here. Once you get it, you'll addicted to it.
9. Already move your pictures? I move it into this kind of composition.
10. Now pick the Eraser tool
 . And
choose the eraser type. I choose soft round 100 pixels. You may choose different
size, but use the soft round!
11. Already pick the eraser type? And then active the Layer 2. And erase it
little by little.
13. And voila! You've got this.
14. As a finishing touch, active the background on the Layer window. Use this
 tool.
15. Then, point the tool around the pictures. You will see that the color
palette change automatically according to the point where you pointed the tool.
Here's a clue, ... try to point the tool to the wood background of the pictures.
I've got this color #d4bf9e.
16. Use the paint bucket tool
 and paint
the background. In case you can't find the paint bucket tool, look for the
gradient tool
 , press and
hold it until it change into paint bucket tool.
17. After you paint the background, in each object, erase them in light ways
little by little. Mine is like this.
18. You could always add text to the projects. And after that, save it. To
save it as .jpeg or .gif, click File > Save for web > choose the extension
wheter it's gif or jpeg > choose the quality.
