Simple and beautiful postcards, paintings and other art objects can be created using a simple technique by combining several separate images on one field. Do you know how to combine two photos using popular graphic editors?
Two to one: collage technique
In Photoshop or any editor that allows
you to
create collages, create a new file. We add both photos in turn and arrange them in the desired way relative to
each other. Frames may come in close contact with the edges, or there may be a distance between them. You can also add a colored background. An interesting effect can be achieved by blurring the edges with the same tool or adding a decorative frame. You can create a similar art in many online editors, it is convenient if there are no suitable programs on your computer.
You can connect two photos in another way. A smooth transition from one image to another looks very interesting. First, copy both images onto one base, compare their size and overlay images on top of each other with the necessary clearance. Now the most interesting part of the work, on the last layer we make a mask. We use a black and white gradient on the mask, maybe it’s not the first time you can achieve a beautiful blend, in this case do not be too lazy to do it all over again. Before combining the photo into one picture and sending it to print, we combine the visible layers and add a little noise. Our picture is almost ready, if you want, you can bleach the image and choose a new color for it.
How to take a photo that was not?
Often from a series of photographs it is difficult to choose even one single one that fully met the expectations of the photographer and models. Most often this applies to group photos. Can I glue two pictures into one? For users of mid-level Photoshop, this is a simple task. Suppose we are not satisfied with one of the figures in the picture or its elements. But the same figure is in a suitable form in another picture. Select the elements we need and copy them to a new layer in a good photo. Then we transfer to the desired frame. The most difficult thing is to compare the sizes. We need a free transformation tool, to save the proportions we hold down the shift key. At the time of selecting the size, you can make the working layer translucent. When the elements are overlaid appropriately, it's time to work out the boundaries. In order to seamlessly connect the two photos, you can use blur and stamp, we remove excess parts from the top layer with an eraser.
The task is greatly simplified if we need to process the landscape. For example, add the sky from one shot to another similar. We make using the same technique, it is much easier to select and paste uniform large areas than to move small elements. If you are going to combine two photos, be sure to pre-process both to the desired appearance, this will greatly simplify the work. At the very end of the alignment, you can slightly adjust the colors and contrast settings.
