Blending Images Within Photos

When making strange photos, sometimes you want to blend two strange photos together. But what if you don’t want to blend the entire photo, just one part of it? There are multiple ways to do this, but here is how I do it:

1. Begin with the subordinate photo, i.e. the one that only part of will be showing:

2. Create a new layer and paste the image that you would like as the dominant photo:

3. Now, select the area you would like to blend, and cut (ctrl+x or command+x) the selection so that the background image shows through. Create a new layer so that you can paste the selection onto the new layer by itself:

4. Right click the new layer, select “blending options” at the very top:

5. Under “General Blending” you can change the opacity of the layer:

And now you have two perfectly blended photos:

Obviously you can also mess around with other blending options. It’s a very simple process that took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out. But now you know!
