I brightened the pictures a bit so that's why they are brighter

Step 1. click new and type in 640 by 350

Step 2. Once you have your new image copy and paste your image in the image

Step 3. Now paste your other image into the same image, it should look like this

Step 4. Click the eraser tool, I put mine on 100 to get most of it, then 35 to get the parts that don't get erased
It should look something like this

Step 5. Post your other picture in the image and erase the unwanted parts again, do that to the rest of the pictures you have. Once you have done that go to Layer-Layer Style-Outer Glow
It should look like this

This is what it looks like now

Next click on the rectangle cutout and cutout the head part it'll look like this

Now copy this and open a new blank image 640 by 200, and paste it into the new image
it'll look like this

I don't have Photoshop CS2 but I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0! I like the middle picture, her hat has her head!!!!!! Get it?

[Ashley T luv]

How do you put boarders on?? And can you make animated stuff?

[shopaholicoxxo]

I don't understand how you copy the pictures in ... what do you click?

[cookie monster]

I don't understand how you copy the pictures in ... what do you click?


u drag the pic to where u want it!

[Miley98]

when u see the pic on like MMW gallery or something, right click it. then you press copy and then go to Edit>>>Paste in your new document.

you know, a lot of people don't know this, but you can blend way better by using just the eraser, yeah sure, it seem like a lot of work to get it right but the result is really great.

[shopaholicoxxo]

Hmm...whenever I click and drag the picture, it goes right to the middle of the blank document automatically and I don't know how to move it. This also happens when I use the other method of Edit>Copy, Edit>Paste. Help please?

[shopaholicoxxo]

Well I always used to use the clone stamp, since I didn't know how else to do it. It didn't work too well, but I did manage to get a few good blends, like the one in my siggy and others.

O.K. my mom said i could get a free trial of Photoshop

Should I get:
Adobe Photoshop® CS2
or
Adobe InDesign® CS2


i cant decide
i am only gettin the free trial cuz i wanna make blends
which is best?

[shopaholicoxxo]

Photoshop. InDesign is a great tool, but photoshop is better for blend making.
