Video Tip: Merging Images in Photoshop

Posted by Andrew Mason on May 27, 2010

People & skies that aren’t really there.

Football laces on pieces of fruit.

And Spiderman’s mask on the Apostle Paul.

These are just a few of the amazing feats of strength accomplished by merging pictures in Adobe Photoshop.  At some point, whether you’re scrapbooking together a sermon logo or just having some fun, it’ll be super-handy to know how to combine elements from two separate pictures together.

And it also just so happens to be the subject of today’s video tip:

Interested in finding out more?

Like we mentioned in the Intro to Layers tutorial, Tutorial9 & PSDTuts are wonderful sites to expand your Photoshop knowledge.  LifeChurch.tv’s OPEN Network & CreativeMYK are great resources where you can download pre-made, freely available .PSD (Photoshop) images.  You can edit & tweak them to fit your churches needs.

What about you?

  1. Great info! Thanks for allowing us to share & pass this on to others!

  2. This is just plain awesome. Thanks for the tip. I plan on using this possibly this Sunday already!

  3. I have never looked better.

    Good stuff! I would have approached it another way. I would have put Depp in front and erased his face so that Kyle became visible from behind.This makes it look more natural around the hairline.

    A masking tutorial would be awesome and a Step #2. Jared?
