Learn how to blend images or photos and create a collage with them using
PhotoShop. Mostly used for making headers of a website.
We will create a simple collage of 3 photographs named photo1,
photo2, photo3 in here, but you can add as many photos as you want. A collage is
made of a minimum of 2 photographs.
Follow the steps and respect the rules:
Step 1 : Creating the file with the photographs of the
collage
File>Open. Open 3 photographs or image by clicking on
File>Open and choosing the 3 images you would like to blend.
Drag the photographs to your new file canvas in 3 different layers. Adjust the
size of your photos to your canvas size.

Step 2 : Filling the background color for the canvas
If you want to put a background color choose the same color of the photo1, in
here choose blue color and paint the background with Paint Bucket Tool.
Method: Click on Set foreground color. Choose Blue color. Go to
Paint Bucket Tool. Click on your canvas in the
background layer. It will fill the background with Blue color.
Step 3 : Blending the photographs
Work on layer1 Photo1. Select with Marquee Tool the rectangle you want to blend. Click on
Select >Feather. A screen named Feather
Selection will appear. Click 30 pixels on
Feather Radius. Click OK.
Copy the selected rectangle and paste it inside the feathered selection.
A new layer will appear. Name it collage1. Delete layer1.
Follow the same steps for Layer2, photo2 and layer3, photo3. You will find
that the feather effect blends the images with each other. You can adjust the
amount of feathering and the area of feathering to make the images blend more
smoothly. Finally, you can double click on the layer and adjust the opacity in
the blending options for the collage to blend with the background.
Your Layers panel will look like this:
