Ah I just saw Maris's reply which makes mine a trifle redundant. To answer this query though...
- select the top layer - Layer/Add layer mask/Reveal all (or use icon at bottom of layers palette) - paint with black on the white mask with soft-edged brushes to see parts of the bottom image you want - you can paint with white to "undo" or fine tune what you did with the last step, and use white or black or grays for further correction or fine tuning. - when finished, flatten the image. There are other variations on layer masking. Layer masks are the most useful thing I have discovered in PS (I am sure there is plenty more yet though. As Woody Allen points out, "the autodidactic always has huge holes in his knowledge" ) Julian At 09:45 08/01/02, you wrote: >Maris, > >Having layered two such images, I am not clear how to blend them.
