LiveLongDieHard Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 OK guys i'm having trouble blending 2 images together for the background. I'm using alphamask but it's not what i wanted. Please visit this link http://www.photoshop...r-an-image/4855 and look at steps 2-6. It shows the pictures being blended smoothly. I've used photoshop but it's to complicated and laggy.

pdnnoob Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 You are looking for layer blend modes. Double click on the layer to be blended in your layer window, then play with the settings. I would try lighten or screen if you are making the same thing as the tutorial Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 "....without loss of opacity or color." That's like trying to merge a basketball and a banana! (i.e. the only way you're going to do it is by cutting out (removing) part of one image to accomodate the other). The edges where the two images meet will (most likely) be abrupt unless you apply some sort of blend or blur to smooth the transition. Can you upload the image you're working on to ImageShack or Photobucket (or other service) and post the link here so we can have a look?

Sorry for the double post EER forgot to quote you You could have just edited your previous post... Anyhow, you are looking for the "lighten" layer blend mode. Put the planet image on a new layer on top of the other image and set blend mode to lighten, then select the bottom layer and select and delete the parts that are underneath the planet.
