This is a completely re-written update to the original version of the tutorial and is now fully compatible with <strong>Photoshop CS6<\/strong>. If you're using Photoshop CS5 or earlier, you'll want to follow the original <a href=\"\/photo-effects\/photo-blend\/\">Blend Photos Like A Hollywood Movie Poster<\/a> tutorial.<\/p>\n<p>Photoshop  makes it easy to blend photos together using layer masks, but a common problem is that the colors of the photos don't match, so instead of a seamless blend, we  end up with something that still looks like two distinctly separate photos. If that's the effect you want, great, but for a movie poster-type of effect, we usually want the colors  to match. Finding two photos with similar colors isn't always easy or even possible, but with the technique we'll learn here, we don't need to worry about it because we'll be removing the original color from both images and then colorizing the final composite with whatever color we choose!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<p>Here's the photo I'll be using for the top half of my &quot;poster&quot; (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/pic.mhtml?id=12614320\">smiling couple photo<\/a> from Shutterstock):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/couple.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of a smiling young couple in love.\" width=\"377\" height=\"500\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The first photo.<\/div>\n<p>To add a little drama, I'll blend this \"stormy seas\" photo into the bottom half (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/pic.mhtml?id=89438539\">boat in storm photo<\/a> from Shutterstock):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/storm.jpg\" alt=\"Boat in lightning storm.\" width=\"550\" height=\"445\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The second photo.<\/div>\n<p>And here's what the final movie poster effect will look like:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/photoshop-blend-photos-effect.jpg\" alt=\"The final movie poster effect using Photoshop CS6.\" width=\"414\" height=\"550\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">An attractive couple, lost at sea on a doomed fishing trip?

They'll each appear in their own separate documents, so the first thing we need to do is move both images into the <em>same<\/em> document. By default, only one image is visible on the screen at a time, but we can switch between them by clicking on their <a href=\"\/basics\/tabbed-and-floating-documents-in-photoshop\/\">name tabs<\/a> along the top of the screen. I'll switch to my storm photo by clicking on its name tab:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/name-tab.jpg\" alt=\"Switching between open photos by clicking on the tabs in Photoshop CS6.\" width=\"592\" height=\"194\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Switch between photos by clicking on their tabs.<\/div>\n<p>Then, to move this image into the same document as my other image, I'll select the <strong>Move Tool<\/strong> from the top of the Tools panel along the left of the screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/photoshop-cs6-move-tool.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Move Tool from the Tools panel in Photoshop CS6.\" width=\"77\" height=\"141\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Move Tool.<\/div>\n<p>With the Move Tool selected, I'll click anywhere inside my storm photo and, with my mouse button held down, I'll drag it up onto the <strong>other document's tab<\/strong>. Keep holding your mouse button down over the tab until you see Photoshop switch to your other image on the screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/drag-to-tab.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the photo onto the other tab.\" width=\"546\" height=\"209\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging the photo up onto the other photo's tab. Hold until Photoshop switches to the other photo.<\/div>\n<p>Then, still with your mouse button held down, drag down into this other document: A <strong>white highlight border<\/strong> will appear around the edges of the document:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/drag-into-document.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging the second image down into the first image's document.\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">A white highlight border appears when you drag down into the other document.<\/div>\n<p>Before you release your mouse button, press and hold the <strong>Shift<\/strong> key on your keyboard, <em>then<\/em> release your mouse button. Adding the Shift key tells Photoshop to center the image inside the document, and now we can see my storm photo centered in front of the other photo:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/two-photos-in-document.jpg\" alt=\"Both photos are now in the same document.\" width=\"371\" height=\"499\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Both photos are now part of the same document.<\/div>\n<p>If we look in my <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-panel\/\">Layers panel<\/a>, we see that Photoshop placed my storm photo on its own <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layers-intro\/\">layer<\/a> named <strong>Layer 1<\/strong> above the photo of the couple:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/photoshop-cs6-layers-panel.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel in Photoshop CS6.\" width=\"254\" height=\"283\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Each photo sits on its own layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 2: Resize And Reposition The Photos As Needed<\/h3>\n<p>Since my storm photo is going to be used as the bottom half of my \"movie poster\", I need to move it down to the bottom of the document. I also need to resize it, and we can do both of these things using Photoshop's <a href=\"\/basics\/free-transform\/\">Free Transform<\/a> command. I'll make sure I have Layer 1 selected (highlighted in blue) in the Layers panel since it's the layer that holds my storm photo, then I'll go up to the <strong>Edit<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar along the top of the screen and I'll choose <strong>Free Transform<\/strong>. I could also just press <strong>Ctrl+T<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Command+T<\/strong> (Mac) on my keyboard to select it with the shortcut:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/edit-free-transform.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Free Transform command from the Edit menu.\" width=\"286\" height=\"132\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Edit &gt; Free Transform.<\/div>\n<p>This places the Free Transform box and handles (the little squares) around the image. They'll appear around the actual dimensions of the image, not just the viewable area of the document, so since my image is larger than the viewable area, the Free Transform box and handles appear in the gray <strong>pasteboard area<\/strong> surrounding the photos (if your image is so big that the Free Transform handles extend right off your screen, go up to the <strong>View<\/strong> menu in the Menu Bar and choose the <strong>Fit on Screen<\/strong> view mode).<\/p>\n<p>To resize the image, click and drag any of the <strong>corner handles<\/strong>, keeping your mouse button held down as you drag. To constrain the proportions of your image as you're resizing it (so you don't distort the shape of the photo), press and hold the <strong>Shift<\/strong> key as you're dragging the handles. When you're happy with the size of the image, release your mouse button first, <em>then<\/em> release the Shift key. Here, I'm dragging the top left corner handle in towards the center of the image to make it smaller:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/free-transform-photo.jpg\" alt=\"Resizing the photo with the Free Transform command in Photoshop CS6.\" width=\"471\" height=\"500\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Press and hold Shift, then click and drag any of the corner handles to resize the image.<\/div>\n<p>I also need to move the image down to the bottom. To move it, with Free Transform still active, all I need to do is click on the image and drag it downward, again keeping my mouse button held down as I drag. When you're done moving and resizing your image, press <strong>Enter<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Return<\/strong> (Mac) on your keyboard to accept the transformation and exit out of the Free Transform command:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/move-photo-down.jpg\" alt=\"Repositioning the image with the Free Transform command in Photoshop CS6.\" width=\"380\" height=\"500\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking and dragging the image downward.<\/div>\n<h3>Renaming The Background Layer<\/h3>\n<p>If you need to resize or reposition the other photo as well, you'll find that by default, you can't, and that's because it's sitting on a special layer known as the <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/background-layer\/\">Background layer<\/a>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/photoshop-background-layer.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the image on the Background layer.\" width=\"254\" height=\"196\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The bottom photo  sitting on the Background layer.<\/div>\n<p>If you select the Background layer in the Layers panel, you'll find that the Free Transform command under the Edit menu is grayed out and unavailable. Even if you just try moving the image with the Move Tool, Photoshop will toss up a warning message saying you can't move it because the layer is locked:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/layer-locked.gif\" alt=\"A Photoshop CS6 warning dialog box.\" width=\"367\" height=\"138\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Photoshop won't allow us to move or resize the Background layer.<\/div>\n<p>To get around this problem, simply hold down your <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key and <strong>double-click<\/strong> directly on the name <em>Background<\/em> in the Layers panel. This will automatically rename the layer <strong>Layer 0,<\/strong> and now you'll be able to resize and\/or reposition it as needed:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/layer-0.gif\" alt=\"The Background layer is now named Layer 0.\" width=\"254\" height=\"196\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Background layer is now Layer 0.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 3: Add A Layer Mask<\/h3>\n<p>Let's blend our two images together using a <a href=\"\/basics\/layers\/layer-masks\/\">layer mask<\/a>. Select <strong>Layer 1<\/strong> in the Layers panel if it's not still selected, then click on the <strong>Add Layer Mask<\/strong> icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/add-layer-mask.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the Add Layer Mask icon in the Layers panel.\" width=\"254\" height=\"210\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the Add Layer Mask icon.<\/div>\n<p>Nothing will happen to the images in the document window, but we now see a white-filled <strong>layer mask thumbnail<\/strong> on Layer 1, letting us know that we've added our mask. We also see a <strong>white highlight border<\/strong> around the thumbnail which tells us that the mask, not the photo on the layer, is selected:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/layer-mask-thumbnail.gif\" alt=\"A layer mask thumbnail appears on Layer 1.\" width=\"254\" height=\"197\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Layer 1 now shows a layer mask thumbnail.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 4: Select The Gradient Tool<\/h3>\n<p>Select Photoshop's <strong>Gradient Tool<\/strong> from the Tools panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/photoshop-gradient-tool.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Gradient Tool in Photoshop.\" width=\"79\" height=\"142\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Grabbing the Gradient Tool.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 5: Choose The Black To White Gradient<\/h3>\n<p>With the Gradient Tool selected, click on the <strong>gradient preview bar<\/strong> on the far left of the Options Bar along the top of the screen:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/gradient-preview-bar.gif\" alt=\"Clicking the gradient preview bar.\" width=\"479\" height=\"80\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Clicking the gradient preview bar.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the Gradient Editor, and at the top is a collection of small thumbnails, each representing a different preset gradient. Click on the <strong>Black, White<\/strong> gradient's thumbnail to select it (top row, third from the left), then click OK to close out of the Gradient Editor:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/gradient-editor.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Black, White gradient from the Gradient Editor.\" width=\"450\" height=\"211\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Black, White gradient.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 6: Drag Out A Black To White Gradient On The Layer Mask<\/h3>\n<p>With the Gradient Tool and the Black, White gradient selected, and my layer mask thumbnail selected on Layer 1, I'll click near the top of my storm photo to set the starting point for my gradient. Then, with my mouse button still held down, I'll hold down my <strong>Shift<\/strong> key on my keyboard and drag down a short distance towards the boat. Holding the Shift key down as I drag limits the angle at which I can move, making it easy to drag straight down:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/drag-gradient.jpg\" alt=\"Dragging out a black to white gradient on the layer mask.\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Dragging out the gradient on the layer mask.<\/div>\n<p>I'll release my mouse button, and the spot where I release it becomes the end point for my gradient. Photoshop draws my gradient, and because it was drawn on the layer mask, not on the photo itself, we don't actually see it in the document window. Instead, we see the two photos now blended together, with the area between the start and end points of the gradient becoming the transition area from one photo to the other:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/photos-blended.jpg\" alt=\"The two photos are now blended together in Photoshop.\" width=\"376\" height=\"499\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The two photos are now blended together.<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/basics\/three-ways-to-blend-two-images-together-photoshop\/\" title=\"View tutorial\">Related tutorial: 3 Ways To Blend Images Together In Photoshop<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you want to see the actual gradient itself on the layer mask, press and hold your <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) key on your keyboard and click on the <strong>layer mask thumbnail<\/strong> in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/click-mask-thumbnail.gif\" alt=\"Clicking on the layer mask thumbnail.\" width=\"254\" height=\"195\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Hold Alt (Win) \/ Option (Mac) and click on the mask's thumbnail.<\/div>\n<p>The black to white gradient appears in the document window. What we're seeing here is the layer mask itself, not the contents of the layers (the photos). To switch back to the photos (the layer contents), once again press and hold <strong>Alt<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Option<\/strong> (Mac) and click on the <strong>layer mask thumbnail<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/gradient.jpg\" alt=\"Viewing the gradient on the layer mask.\" width=\"377\" height=\"500\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Viewing the gradient that was drawn on the layer mask.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 7: Merge Both Layers Onto A New Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we need to merge our two existing layers onto a new layer above them. The easiest way to do that is with a handy keyboard shortcut. Press <strong>Shift+Ctrl+Alt+E<\/strong> (Win) \/ <strong>Shift+Command+Option+E<\/strong> (Mac). Photoshop merges both layers onto a new layer named <strong>Layer 2<\/strong> above the original two layers:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/merged-layer.gif\" alt=\"The two layers have been merged onto a new layer.\" width=\"254\" height=\"231\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The two layers have been merged onto a third layer.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 8: Add Noise<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s add a little noise to the image to help the two photos blend more seamlessly together. Go up to the <strong>Filter<\/strong> menu at the top of the screen, choose <strong>Noise<\/strong>, and then choose <strong>Add Noise<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/filter-add-noise.gif\" alt=\"Selecting the Add Noise filter in Photoshop.\" width=\"146\" height=\"111\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Going to Filter &gt; Noise &gt; Add Noise.<\/div>\n<p>This opens the Add Noise dialog box. First, set the <strong>Distribution<\/strong> option to <strong>Gaussian<\/strong> and make sure the <strong>Monochromatic<\/strong> option at the bottom of the dialog box is checked. Then, set the <strong>Amount<\/strong> value by dragging the slider a little towards the right. A value of between 2-6% usually works best, and it will depend on the size of your image. Don't add too much noise or you'll make the image look overly grainy. We need just enough noise to add a little bit of uniform texture. When you're done, click OK to close out of the dialog box:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/add-noise-filter.gif\" alt=\"The Add Noise filter in Photoshop.\" width=\"365\" height=\"445\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Add Noise dialog box.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 9: Add A Black &amp; White Adjustment Layer<\/h3>\n<p>Next, we'll remove the original colors from the images and create a custom black and white version of the composite using a <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/black-and-white-cs3\/\">Black &amp; White<\/a> adjustment layer. Click on the <strong>Black &amp; White<\/strong> icon (third icon from the left, middle row) in the <strong>Adjustments panel<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/adjustments-panel.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a Black and White adjustment layer from the Adjustments panel.\" width=\"227\" height=\"161\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Selecting the Black &amp; White adjustment layer from the Adjustments panel.<\/div>\n<p>This adds a Black &amp; White adjustment layer above Layer 2, which we can see in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/black-white-layer.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the new Black and White adjustment layer.\" width=\"254\" height=\"199\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the newly added Black &amp; White adjustment layer.<\/div>\n<p>It will also create an instant <a href=\"\/photo-editing\/black-and-white\/black-and-white-intro\/\">black and white version<\/a> of the image in the document window. The controls for the Black &amp; White adjustment layer are found in the <strong>Properties panel<\/strong>. Here, we find a series of sliders, each labeled with a different color (Reds, Yellows, Greens, and so on). Drag the sliders left or right to adjust the brightness of different areas in the black and white version based on their original colors. For example, dragging the Reds slider towards the right will lighten any areas that originally had red in them, while dragging the slider towards the left will darken those areas. Each slider works the same way, allowing you to increase or decrease the brightness of any areas that originally contained that color. You can experiment with the sliders as much as you want until you're happy with the results, or you can simply click the <strong>Auto<\/strong> button above the sliders to have Photoshop take a guess at what the black and white conversion should look like:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/properties-panel.jpg\" alt=\"The Black and White slider controls in the Properties panel.\" width=\"296\" height=\"342\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Drag the color sliders to create a custom black and white version.<\/div>\n<p>Here's my image after converting it to black and white:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/image-black-and-white.jpg\" alt=\"The black and white version of the composite image.\" width=\"377\" height=\"500\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The black and white version of the composite image.<\/div>\n<h3>Step 10: Add A Hue\/Saturation Adjustment Layer<\/h3>\n<p>We'll colorize the image using a Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer. Click on the <strong>Hue\/Saturation<\/strong> icon in the <strong>Adjustments panel<\/strong> (first icon on the left, middle row):<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/hue-saturation.gif\" alt=\"Selecting a Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer from the Adjustments panel.\" width=\"227\" height=\"161\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">Adding a Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer.<\/div>\n<p>The Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer appears above the Black &amp; White layer in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pe-images.s3.amazonaws.com\/photo-effects\/cs6\/blend-photos\/hue-saturation-layer.gif\" alt=\"The Layers panel showing the Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer.\" width=\"254\" height=\"196\" \/>\n<div class=\"image-desc\">The Layers panel showing the Hue\/Saturation adjustment layer.<\/div>\n<p>Once again, the controls for the adjustment layer appear in the <strong>Properties panel<\/strong>. First, select the <strong>Colorize<\/strong> option by clicking inside its checkbox. Then, drag the <strong>Hue<\/strong> slider left or right to choose a color for your image. A live preview of the color appears in the document window as you drag the slider. I'll choose an eerie orange color for my image by setting the Hue value to around <strong>30<\/strong>. I'll also increase the saturation of the color a little by dragging the <strong>Saturation<\/strong> slider to a value of <strong>35<\/strong>.
