Instructions
Step 1
First, select the two photos that you want to combine into one. Open both images in Photoshop.
Step 2
Now in the tool column on the left, select the Move Tool (V) and use it to drag one image onto another.
Step 3
Make both photos the same size. To do this, make the top layer active and select the Free Transform Tool (Ctrl + T).
Step 4
If the border of the tool extends beyond the border of the canvas, press Ctrl + O, then resize the pictures while holding Shift. When you are satisfied with the result, press Enter.
Step 5
In case you need to raise or lower the bottom layer, press the Move Tool (V) combination and boldly move the bottom image. If you get an error, rename the bottom layer by pressing alt="Image" and double-clicking on Background.
Step 6
Now blend your layers. To do this, select the top layer and click on the add layer mask button. The mask icon will appear next to the layer you selected, and it will be painted white.
Step 7
Next, fill the layer mask with a black and white gradient. Select the Gradient Tool (G) from the toolbar on the left.
Step 8
With the gradient settings open, choose a black-white color, which will be the third in the table.
Step 9
Press Shift and hold down the position between the layers where your gradient should start and where it will end. If you are not satisfied with the result, then press Ctrl + Z and select the blend field again.
Step 10
Now you can connect, or rather, merge both layers into one, for this select Layer 1 and press Ctrl + Shift + Alt + E. A new layer is formed called Layer 2, and you can see it as the third in your list of layers. Save the resulting image.
Step 11
Save the resulting image. Congratulations, you have merged the photo, adding noise to it or changing the colors to whatever you want. Good luck!
