Now, don't go letting your imagination run wild here. When I say \"warped\", I don't mean \"sick, twisted and shocking\", unless of course those are the types of photos you want to use. What I'm talking about is photos that we'll be bending, curling, distorting and reshaping using Photoshop's Warp Tool.<\/p>\n<p>I should point out here that the Warp Tool (not to be confused with the Text Warp tool) has only been around since Photoshop CS2, which means you'll need Photoshop CS2 or later if you want to follow along using the same techniques I'll be using in this tutorial. There <em>are<\/em> more complicated and time-consuming ways to create the same effect in older versions of Photoshop, but the Warp Tool makes things incredibly easy for us and is also really fun to use, as we'll see!<\/p>\n<p>For this tutorial, I'll be using three photos in my collage, plus the image I'll be using as the background, for a grand total of four photos (who says math isn't easy?). You, of course, can use as many photos as you like. Since Halloween is fast approaching (at the time I'm writing this), I thought I'd go with a Halloween theme for my collage, but again you can use whichever photos you like.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">Here's the final effect we'll be working towards:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/final-result.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"680\" height=\"458\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final effect.<\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-middle { display: inline-block; width:300px; margin:6px 0px 24px 0px; padding-top: 16px; padding-bottom: 16px; }\n@media (max-width: 515px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n@media (max-width: 480px) { .ads-middle { margin:20px 0; } }\n<\/style><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- photo effects 300x250 middle responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-middle\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"4216941496\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<p>This tutorial is from our <a href=\"\/photo-effects\/\" title=\"Learn Photoshop effects\">Photo Effects<\/a> series.

We'll go through all the steps necessary to complete our work on this first photo, and then it's simply a matter of repeating the steps with each additional photo you want to add to your collage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">Here's the first photo I'll be using:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/first-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Open the first photo you'll be adding to your collage. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 2:<\/span> Rename The Background Layer<\/h4>\n<p>With the photo newly opened inside Photoshop, if we look over in the Layers palette, we can see that we currently have one layer, named <em>Background<\/em>, which contains our image:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-background-layer.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"263\" height=\"195\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop's Layers palette showing our original image on the <em>Background<\/em> layer. <\/div>\n<p>We need to add a new blank layer below this <em>Background<\/em> layer, but there's a small problem. Photoshop treats the <em>Background<\/em> layer differently from all other layers (which is why the name is written in italics). There's things we can do with other layers that we can't do with the <em>Background<\/em> layer. One of the things we can't do is add any layers below it. The <em>Background<\/em> layer must always remain the bottom layer in the Layers palette. Fortunately, there's an easy way around this problem. All we need to do is rename the layer to something other than \"Background\", and the easiest way to do that is by holding down your <span class=\"em\">Alt<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Option<\/span> (Mac) key and <span class=\"em\">double-clicking<\/span> directly on the word \"Background\". Photoshop will automatically rename the layer \"Layer 0\":<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/rename-background-layer.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold down \"Alt\" (Win) \/ \"Option\" (Mac) and double-click on the name \"Background\" to have Photoshop rename the layer \"Layer 0\". <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 3:<\/span> Add A New Blank Layer Below \"Layer 0\" <\/h4>\n<p>Now that our Background layer is no longer named \"Background\", we can add a layer below it. To do that, hold down your <span class=\"em\">Ctrl<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command<\/span> (Mac) key and click on the <span class=\"em\">New Layer<\/span> icon at the bottom of the Layers palette:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/new-layer-icon.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold down \"Ctrl\" (Win) \/ \"Command\" (Mac) and click the\"New Layer\" icon. <\/div>\n<p>Clicking the \"New Layer\" icon adds a new blank layer, and by default, Photoshop places new layers above the layer we currently have selected in the Layers palette, but by holding down \"Ctrl\/Command\" as we click on the icon, we tell Photoshop to place the new layer <em>below<\/em> the currently selected layer. As we can see now in our Layers palette, the new layer, which Photoshop has automatically named \"Layer 1\", appears below \"Layer 0\":<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/new-layer-below.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"263\" height=\"231\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers palette showing the new blank layer added below the original layer. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 4:<\/span> Add Additional Canvas Space Around The Image<\/h4>\n<p>Since we're going to be bending and warping our image, we need to give ourselves a little extra room to work, which means we need to add some extra canvas space around the image. To do that, go up to the <span class=\"em\">Image<\/span> menu at the top of the screen and choose <span class=\"em\">Canvas Size<\/span>. This brings up the Canvas Size dialog box. Enter <span class=\"em\">150<\/span> for the <span class=\"em\">Width<\/span> and <span class=\"em\">Height<\/span> and change the measurement type for both to <span class=\"em\">percent<\/span>. Make sure the <span class=\"em\">Relative<\/span> option is not checked, and make sure the <span class=\"em\">middle square<\/span> is selected in the <span class=\"em\">Anchor<\/span> grid:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-canvas-size.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Increase the canvas size around the image using the options circled in red above. <\/div>\n<p>Click OK when you're done, and Photoshop will add the extra canvas space all around the image, giving us lots of room to work:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/canvas-space-added.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"571\" height=\"408\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The extra canvas space is now added around the image. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 5:<\/span> Add A White Stroke To The Image<\/h4>\n<p>Click on \"Layer 0\" in the Layers palette to select the layer that contains the original image. Let's add a white photo border around the edge of the image. To do that, go up to the <span class=\"em\">Edit<\/span> menu at the top of the screen and choose <span class=\"em\">Stroke<\/span>. This brings up the Stroke dialog box. I'm going to enter a value of <span class=\"em\">20 px<\/span> (pixels) for my <span class=\"em\">Width<\/span>, which works well with my image here. You may need to enter a different value depending on the size of the image you're using. I'm using a low resolution image for this tutorial, so if you're using a high resolution image, you'll need to try a higher width value. The goal here is to simply add what looks like a standard white photo border around the image, which means we also need to select <span class=\"em\">white<\/span> as our stroke color, so click on the <span class=\"em\">color swatch<\/span> to the right of the word <span class=\"em\">Color<\/span>, which brings up Photoshop's <span class=\"em\">Color Picker<\/span> and choose white.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">Finally, set the <span class=\"em\">Location<\/span> option in the middle of the dialog box to <span class=\"em\">Inside<\/span> so the stroke appears inside the edge of the image:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-stroke.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"329\" height=\"320\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Add a white stroke around the inside edge of the image to create a photo border. <\/div>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">Click OK to exit out of the dialog box and apply the white stroke:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/image-photo-border.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The white border is now added around the edge of the image. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 6:<\/span> Warp The Image With Photoshop's Warp Tool<\/h4>\n<p>Here's where we get to the fun part. We're going to bend, twist and curl the image using Photoshop's <span class=\"em\">Warp Tool<\/span>. There's a couple of different ways to access the Warp Tool. One is to go up to the <span class=\"em\">Edit<\/span> menu at the top of the screen, choose <span class=\"em\">Transform<\/span>, and then choose <span class=\"em\">Warp<\/span>, but here's a faster way. Press <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+T<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+T<\/span> (Mac) to bring up Photoshop's <span class=\"em\">Free Transform<\/span> box and handles around the image,  then simply click on the <span class=\"em\">Warp<\/span> icon in the Options Bar at the top of the screen:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-warp-tool.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"314\" height=\"53\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">For a quick shortcut to get to the Warp Tool, press \"Ctrl+T\" (Win) \/ \"Command+T\" (Mac) to bring up the Free Transform handles around the image, then click on the \"Warp\" icon in the Options Bar to access the Warp Tool. <\/div>\n<p>You can click on that icon again at any time to switch back and forth between Free Transform and the Warp Tool.<\/p>\n<p>With the Warp Tool selected, you'll see a 3x3 grid appear over your image:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-warp-grid.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A 3x3 grid appears over your image with the Warp Tool active. <\/div>\n<p>If you've never used the Warp Tool before, it may seem a little confusing at first, but the easiest thing to do is simply play around with it and see what it does, since nothing you do will actually be applied to the image as long as the Warp Tool remains active. In no time at all, you'll see just how easy and fun the tool really is. To warp the image from any of the corners, simply click on any of the square corner handles and drag it around with your mouse. Here I'm dragging the top left corner outward:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/drag-corner-out.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"384\" height=\"270\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click and drag any of the corner handles to warp the image from the corners. <\/div>\n<p> To create a page curl, which is where the Warp Tool really shines, drag any of the corner handles inward. If you drag the corner in far enough, you'll actually see what looks like the back of the photo appearing in the corner (it's actually a mirror image of the photo, but it still looks pretty cool):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/warp-tool-page-curl.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"346\" height=\"233\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Easily create a page curl by clicking on any of the corner handles and dragging it inward. <\/div>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">You can also warp the image by dragging the round handles that extend out from the corners:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/round-handles.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"270\" height=\"345\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Warping the image by dragging the round handles that extend out from the corners. <\/div>\n<p>And yet another way to warp the image is by simply clicking anywhere inside of the image and dragging your mouse around to warp it from that spot:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/warp-from-center.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"466\" height=\"316\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Click anywhere inside the image and drag your mouse to warp the image from that location. <\/div>\n<p>As you can see, Photoshop's Warp Tool gives us lots of control and flexibility over how we bend and reshape the image, and for this collage effect we're creating, there's no right or wrong way to go about it. We're not trying to create any sort of realistic effect here, although we could if we wanted. All we're really going for is something that looks fun, so feel free to play around with your image, warping, stretching, bending, twisting, and curling it  anyway you like. The only thing you should try to avoid is warping anyone's face, since they may not be too happy when they see what you've done, so try to limit your warp effects to the corners and edges of the photo as much as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there's no \"undo\" with the Warp Tool, so if you're not happy with what you've done and want to try again, you'll need to press your <span class=\"em\">Esc<\/span> key to cancel your changes and exit out of the Warp Tool, then go back and start over.<\/p>\n<p>Here's what my image looks like, with the Warp Tool still active, after I've reshaped the image in a way that works for me (yours may look completely different):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/image-warp-tool.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"505\" height=\"385\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after warping it with the Warp Tool, which is still active. <\/div>\n<p>When you're ready to accept your changes, press <span class=\"em\">Enter<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Return<\/span> (Mac) to have Photoshop apply them to the image.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Step 7:<\/span> Duplicate The Layer<\/h4>\n<p>Now that we've warped the image, we need to duplicate it. To do that, with \"Layer 0\"  (the layer that contains our image) selected in the Layers palette, use the keyboard shortcut <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+J<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+J<\/span> (Mac) to duplicate the layer. If we look in the Layers palette now, we can see the newly created copy of the layer, which Photoshop has named \"Layer 0 copy\", above the other two layers:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/duplicate-layer.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"263\" height=\"244\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Press \"Ctrl+J\" (Win) \/ \"Command+J\" (Mac) to duplicate \"Layer 0\". <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 8:<\/span> Fill The Original Image On \"Layer 0\" With Black<\/h4>\n<p>Click back on \"Layer 0\" in the Layers palette to select it. Then, press the letter <span class=\"em\">D<\/span> on your keyboard if needed to reset your Foreground and Background colors so black becomes your Foreground color (white becomes your Background color). You can see your current Foreground and Background colors in the color swatches near the bottom of the Tools palette (the swatch in the top left is the Foreground color and the one in the bottom right is the Background color):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/foreground-background.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"76\" height=\"141\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Foreground and Background color swatches in Photoshop's Tools palette. <\/div>\n<p>Then, with \"Layer 0\" selected, use the keyboard shortcut <span class=\"em\">Shift+Alt+Backspace<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Shift+Option+Delete<\/span> (Mac) to fill the image on the layer with black. You won't see anything happen in your document window and that's because the image on \"Layer 0 copy\" is blocking what we've done on \"Layer 0\" below it from view, but if we look at the preview thumbnail for \"Layer 0\" in the Layers palette, we can see that the image has in fact been filled with black:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/filled-with-black.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"263\" height=\"292\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The thumbnail for \"Layer 0\" showing the image on the layer now filled with black. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 9:<\/span> Create A Drop Shadow With The Warp Tool<\/h4>\n<p>We're going to use the Warp Tool once again, this time to create a drop shadow effect for our image using the area we just filled with black. With \"Layer 0\" still selected, I'm going to access the Warp Tool the same way I did before, by pressing <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+T<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+T<\/span> (Mac) to bring up the Free Transform handles and then clicking on the <span class=\"em\">Warp Icon<\/span> in the Options Bar. I want the light to appear to be coming from the top left, which means my shadow needs to appear along the bottom right of the image. So with my Warp Tool active, I'm going to bend and reshape the black-filled area so it sticks out from under the right and bottom of the image. Again, we're not going for absolute realism here, so feel free to exaggerate things a little:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/drop-shadow.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Using the Warp Tool to reshape the black-filled area on \"Layer 0\" into a shadow for the image. <\/div>\n<p>Press <span class=\"em\">Enter<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Return<\/span> when you're done to accept and apply the changes.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Step 10:<\/span> Apply The Gaussian Blur Filter<\/h4>\n<p>We need to blur the edges of our shadow a little, so go up to the <span class=\"em\">Filter<\/span> menu at the top of the screen, choose <span class=\"em\">Blur<\/span>, and then choose <span class=\"em\">Gaussian Blur<\/span>. When the Gaussian Blur dialog box appears, I'm going to enter a <span class=\"em\">Radius<\/span> value of about <span class=\"em\">6 pixels<\/span> to blur the edges of my shadow slightly. Again, you may need to enter a higher value if you're using a high resolution image:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/gaussian-blur-filter.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"330\" height=\"339\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Foreground and Background color swatches in Photoshop's Tools palette. <\/div>\n<p>Click OK to exit out of the dialog box when you're done.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Step 11:<\/span> Lower The Opacity Of The Layer<\/h4>\n<p>We've warped our shadow into shape with the Warp Tool and blurred out the edges, but our shadow is much too intense at this point. To fix that, go up to the <span class=\"em\">Opacity<\/span> option in the top right of the Layers palette and lower the layer's opacity to around <span class=\"em\">60%<\/span>:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/layer-opacity.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lower the opacity of \"Layer 0\" to reduce the intensity of the shadow. <\/div>\n<p>Here's my image after lowering the opacity of the shadow:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/layer-shadow.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"472\" height=\"386\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The shadow now appears much less noticeable after lowering its opacity. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 12:<\/span> Add A New Blank Layer Above The Other Layers<\/h4>\n<p>We're almost done, but let's finish things off by adding some subtle highlights and shadows to our photo to enhance the illusion that it's really bending and twisting in 3D space. To do that, we first need to add a new layer above the other layers, so click on the top layer (\"Layer 0 copy\") to select it, then click on the <span class=\"em\">New Layer<\/span> icon at the bottom of the Layers palette to have Photoshop add a new blank layer at the top, which it automatically names \"Layer 2\":<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-new-layer.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"289\" height=\"294\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select the top layer, then click on the \"New Layer\" icon at the bottom of the Layers palette to add a new blank layer, \"Layer 2\", above the other layers. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 13:<\/span> Change The Blend Mode Of The New Layer To \"Hard Light\"<\/h4>\n<p>We need to change the <span class=\"em\">blend mode<\/span> of our new layer. To do that, go up to the Blend Mode options in the top left corner of the Layers palette. By default, the layer is set to the \"Normal\" blend mode. Click on the down-pointing arrow to the right of the word \"Normal\" and select <span class=\"em\">Hard Light<\/span> from the list:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/hard-light-blend-mode.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"300\" height=\"289\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Change the blend mode of \"Layer 2\" from \"Normal\" to \"Hard Light\". <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 14:<\/span> Lower The Opacity Of The Layer<\/h4>\n<p>We're going to use this layer to paint in some highlights and shadows with Photoshop's Brush Tool, but before we do, we need to lower the opacity of this layer quite a bit. We want very subtle highlights and shadows, so go over to the <span class=\"em\">Opacity<\/span> option in the top right of the Layers palette and lower the opacity all the way down to about <span class=\"em\">20%<\/span> to start with. You may need to raise or lower it slightly when you're done:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/layer-opacity-15.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"289\" height=\"289\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Lower the opacity of the new layer down to about 20%. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 15:<\/span> Load A Selection Around The Image<\/h4>\n<p>Before we begin painting, let's make sure we paint \"inside the lines\" so-to-speak, so we're not painting over any of the transparent areas around the image. To do that, hold down your <span class=\"em\">Ctrl<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command<\/span> (Mac) key and click directly on the preview thumbnail for \"Layer 0 copy\" (the layer that contains our image) in the Layers palette:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/layer-thumbnail.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"289\" height=\"289\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold down \"Ctrl\" (Win) \/ \"Command\" (Mac) and click on the thumbnail for \"Layer 0 copy\" in the Layers palette to load a selection around the image. <\/div>\n<p>This loads a selection around the image in the document window:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/load-selection.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"367\" height=\"269\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A selection is loaded around the image. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 16:<\/span> Select The Brush Tool<\/h4>\n<p>Select Photoshop's <span class=\"em\">Brush Tool<\/span> from the Tools palette, or simply press <span class=\"em\">B<\/span> on your keyboard to select it with the shortcut:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-brush-tool.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"76\" height=\"124\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select Photoshop's Brush Tool. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 17:<\/span> Paint With Black To Add Shadows To The Image<\/h4>\n<p>With the Brush Tool selected and black as your Foreground color, paint over a few areas in the image to add subtle shadows, giving the image a bit more of a 3D look to it. Resize your brush as needed by pressing the <span class=\"em\">left bracket key<\/span> on your keyboard to make the brush smaller or the <span class=\"em\">right bracket key<\/span> to make it larger. To control the hardness of the brush edges,  hold down your <span class=\"em\">Shift<\/span> key and press the <span class=\"em\">left bracket key<\/span> a few times to soften the edges, or hold down <span class=\"em\">Shift<\/span> and press the <span class=\"em\">right bracket key<\/span> a few times to make the brush edges harder.<\/p>\n<p>You can also <span class=\"em\">Right-click<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Control-click<\/span> (Mac) anywhere inside the document to bring up the Brush Tool dialog box where you can adjust the brush diameter and hardness with slider controls at the top:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/brush-tool-dialog-box.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"303\" height=\"298\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">With the Brush Tool selected, \"Right-click\" (Win) \/ \"Control-click\" (Mac) anywhere inside the document to access the Brush Tool dialog box where you can adjust the brush size and edge hardness. <\/div>\n<p>Then simply paint over parts of the image to add some shadows. Thanks to the selection we've loaded around the image, we don't have to worry about accidentally painting in the area outside of the photo. The only area we can paint over is the area inside the selection.<\/p>\n<p>If you make a mistake or you're just not happy with how you painted over an area, either press <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+Z<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+Z<\/span> (Mac) to undo your last brush stroke, or press <span class=\"em\">E<\/span> on your keyboard to switch to Photoshop's <span class=\"em\">Eraser Tool<\/span>, erase over the mistake, then press <span class=\"em\">B<\/span> to switch back to your Brush Tool and continue painting. Here's my image after painting in some shadows in the top left and right corners, as well as over the page curl in the bottom right corner:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/painted-shadows.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"505\" height=\"408\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after painting in some subtle shadows in the top corners as well as over the page curl in the bottom right corner. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 18:<\/span> Paint With White To Add Highlights To The Image<\/h4>\n<p>Once you're done painting in some shadows, press the letter <span class=\"em\">X<\/span> on your keyboard to swap your Foreground and Background colors so white becomes your Foreground color.<\/p>\n<p>Then just as you did for the shadows, simply paint over a few areas to add some highlights, changing your brush size and edge hardness as needed.<\/p>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">Here, I'm painting a very subtle white highlight area in the bottom left corner of the image:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/paint-highlights.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"388\" height=\"281\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Switch your Foreground color to white and paint in some highlights. <\/div>\n<p>The highlights aren't as noticeable in my image since I'm painting over an area that is already fairly bright. They may be more noticeable in your image, but even a very subtle highlight still adds to the effect and keeps the image from looking flat.<\/p>\n<p>When you're done painting your shadows and highlights, press <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+D<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+D<\/span> (Mac) to deselect the selection around the image.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Step 19:<\/span> Adjust The Layer Opacity If Needed<\/h4>\n<p>If you find that your shadows and highlights are a bit too subtle in your image, go back to the <span class=\"em\">Opacity<\/span> option in the top right corner of the Layers palette and increase the layer opacity until you're happy with how they look. Or if you think your shadows and highlights are too strong, lower the opacity slightly. Either way, you shouldn't need to adjust the opacity amount by much, since even small adjustments have a big impact with the layer set to the Hard Light blend mode. I'm going to fine-tune my shadows and highlights by increasing my layer opacity to 22%:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/opacity-22.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"289\" height=\"289\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Fine-tune the intensity of the shadows and highlights by making minor adjustments to the layer's opacity. <\/div>\n<p>Here's my image now with my shadows and highlights added:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/image-shadows-highlights.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"499\" height=\"408\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The image after adding the highlights and shadows. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 20:<\/span> Group The Three Layers That Make Up The Image<\/h4>\n<p>We've completed our work on our first photo! All we need to do now is add it to our main collage document (which we'll open in a moment). Right now, our image is made up of three separate layers - the main image on \"Layer 0 copy\", the main shadow below it on \"Layer 0\", and the highlights and shadows on \"Layer 2\" at the top. Rather than dragging three separate layers into the main collage document, let's make things easier by <span class=\"em\">grouping<\/span> the layers so all three of them will be placed inside a \"folder\" in the Layers palette. That way, we can simply drag the folder over to the collage document instead of dragging three separate layers. This will also make it easier to keep our main collage document organized when we start adding additional photos to it.<\/p>\n<p>To create the <span class=\"em\">layer group<\/span>, since \"Layer 2\" is currently selected in the Layers palette, hold down <span class=\"em\">Shift<\/span> and click on \"Layer 0\". This will select both \"Layer 0\" and \"Layer 0 copy\" above it while keeping \"Layer 2\" at the top selected, so all three layer will then be selected (in previous versions of Photoshop, you would need to link the layers together rather than selecting them like this):<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/three-layers-selected.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"289\" height=\"289\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Select all three layers that make up the image. <\/div>\n<p style=\"clear:both;\">With all three layer selected, either go up to the <span class=\"em\">Layer<\/span> menu at the top of the screen and select <span class=\"em\">Group Layers<\/span> or simply use the keyboard shortcut <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+G<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+G<\/span> (Mac). Whichever way you choose, Photoshop adds all three layers into a new group. If you look in your Layers palette, you'll see that the three layers seem to have disappeared, replaced by a folder icon with the name \"Group 1\" beside it. Double-click directly on the words \"Group 1\" and rename the group something more descriptive like \"Photo 1\":<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/layer-group.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"289\" height=\"199\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The three layers have now been added to a layer group. <\/div>\n<p>If you look closely, you'll see a small, right-pointing triangle to the left of the folder icon. Click on it to twirl the folder open, and you'll see your three layers appear inside of it:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/open-layer-group.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"289\" height=\"334\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Open the layer group by clicking on the small right-pointing arrow to the left of the folder icon. <\/div>\n<p>Click on the triangle once again to close group, leaving only the folder visible.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Step 21:<\/span> Open The Image To Use As Your Collage Background<\/h4>\n<p>The work on our first photo is done and we've organized the three layers that make up the image into a layer group. <\/p>\n<p>All we need to do now is drag the layer group over to our main collage document, so go ahead and open the image you want to use as your background.<\/p>\n<p>Here's the image I'll be using:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/background-image.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"508\" height=\"343\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\"> Photoshop Tutorial: Open the image you want to use as the background for your collage. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 22:<\/span> Drag The Layer Group Into The Main Collage Image<\/h4>\n<p>With both images open in their own separate document windows on your screen, click anywhere inside the document containing the photo we just finished working on so that its document window is selected. Then, simply click on the layer group in the Layers palette and drag the group into your background image document:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/drag-layer-group.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"591\" height=\"408\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drag the layer group from the photo document into the main background document. <\/div>\n<p>You'll see your photo appear in front of your background image in the new document, and if you look in the new document's Layers palette, you'll see that the layer group has been copied over to the new document and is now sitting above the <em>Background<\/em> layer:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-layer-group.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"261\" height=\"233\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers palette showing the layer group above the <em>Background<\/em> layer in the new document. <\/div>\n<h4><span>Step 23:<\/span> Resize And Reposition The Photo With Free Transform<\/h4>\n<p>Now that our first photo is in front of the background inside the document we'll be using for our collage, we can move and resize it as needed. To do that, press <span class=\"em\">Ctrl+T<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Command+T<\/span> (Mac) to once again bring up the <span class=\"em\">Free Transform<\/span> box and handles around this image. To move the photo with Free Transform, simply click anywhere inside the photo (except for on the small target icon in the center) and drag the image into position with your mouse. To resize the image, hold down <span class=\"em\">Shift<\/span> and drag any of the corner handles. Holding down Shift as you drag constrains the the width and height proportions of the image, maintaining its original shape. To resize the image from its center, hold down <span class=\"em\">Alt<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Option<\/span> (Mac) as you drag (you can hold Shift as well to constrain the proportions and resize from the center at the same time). You can also rotate the image if you want by moving your mouse cursor just outside the Free Transform box and then clicking and dragging your mouse.<\/p>\n<p>Here, I've moved my photo into the center of the document and I'm resizing it by dragging the bottom corner handle inward:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/photoshop-free-transform.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"472\" height=\"358\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Move and resize the image as needed with Photoshop's Free Transform command. <\/div>\n<p>Press <span class=\"em\">Enter<\/span> (Win) \/ <span class=\"em\">Return<\/span> (Mac) to accept your changes when you're done.<\/p>\n<h4><span>Step 24:<\/span> Repeat The Same Steps To Add Additional Photos Into The Collage<\/h4>\n<p>And with that, our first photo has successfully been warped into shape and added into our collage! To add more photos (it wouldn't be much of a collage if we didn't add more photos), simply repeat the steps we've just worked through for each additional photo, warping each one differently for variety. When you get to the part where you add the layers into a layer group, name your new groups with successive numbers (\"Photo 2\", \"Photo 3\", \"Photo 4\", etc.), then simply drag them into the main collage document, move them into place and resize them as needed with Free Transform.<\/p>\n<p>I've added two more photos to my collage, and if I look in my Layers palette, I can see that I now have three layer groups, named \"Photo 1\", \"Photo 2\" and \"Photo 3\", above my <em>Background<\/em> layer which contains my background image:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/three-layer-groups.gif\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"261\" height=\"293\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop's Layers palette showing the three layer groups that I've dragged into the document, as well as the main <em>Background<\/em> layer. <\/div>\n<p>If you want to move one photo on top of another in your collage, simply click on its layer group in the Layers palette and drag it above the other photo's group to change the \"stacking order\". Layers and layer groups that are higher in the Layers palette appear in front of layers and groups below them.<\/p>\n<p>Here, after adding my two additional photos, is my final result:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/collage-warp\/final-result.jpg\" alt=\"Adobe Photoshop tutorial image.\" width=\"680\" height=\"458\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The final result. <\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n.ads-bottom { width:300px; padding-top:16px;padding-bottom:16px; }\n<\/style><div align=\"center\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\n<!-- 300x250 page bottom responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle ads-bottom\"\n     style=\"display:block\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6601556224092982\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"2879809098\"\n     data-ad-format=\"rectangle\"\n\t data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/div>\n<p>And there we have it!
