I watched Russel Brown Video on Blending!

I understand it now, but I cant for the life of me figure out how he got the picture and the Background sky in one pallete. I tried the move tool but it comes up as a Error.

I think i can figure out how to take a person and put a different background behind them. But, I just can figure out how to add another picture into the layer pallete to do my blending. The video is awesome, but I feel he should of showed how to get the sky photo into the layers pallete. Everytime I grab another photo is wants to treat them as separate pics. Please help me out on this. Love to learn how to do what he did.

anbody out there?

I did ctrl+C on the second photo that I want in my background. Now were do I Ctrl+v to paste it? I also went to Edit to try to copy and paste it there but no luck. thanks

You have to select what you want to copy as well.

1. Select picture 2
2. ctrl+a (select all), ctrl+c (copy)
3. Select picture 1, ctrl+v (paste)

Alt. 2:

Open both pictures. Grab the layer from picture 2, move and drop it on picture 1.

You paste it on your background image. Then you will see a new layer added to the layers palette.

I'll try but it keeps coming up as an error. Thanks all.

You have two images.

Image One, is the image, where you have removed the background.

Image Two, is the image that has the background, that you want to copy !

Open both images, and leave them side by side. (For best results the background image should be approximately the same size in pixels and ppi as the Image One, this can be checked in Image, Image Size, and can be adjusted there easily).

HIghlight Image Two, by clicking on the top of the image, then hit Ctrl-A(Select All) and then Ctrl-C(Copy).

Now highlight Image One, by clicking on the top of heading bar, then hit Ctrl-V (Paste). This will put the image on its own layer, and by default it will usually be on the top layer.
You will want to drag the layer and position it where needed.

Hope this helps.

Best.

You have to create a new layer to paste it in first.

Thank you guy so much I got. I was miss the control A first before copying . THank you so much. Love this sight.

Click and drag the one you want on top to the other image. I will automatically add this image as a new layer. Also you can click and drag the " on top" image layer to the other image as well.

If you're having trouble with basic things like this, then I recommend you googling photoshop tutorials. (Basic PS tutorials)
