Quite often we have to resort to the process of editing digital photographs. At work and at home, we try to create funny compositions, funny cartoons, use photomontage techniques, create beautiful calendars, panoramas and collages, but for this we need to learn how to combine photos into one. Of course, you can not burden yourself with the search for a graphic editor and use, for example, Paint, which is already built into Windows. But for the best quality and result, experts recommend using the Adobe Photoshop program to combine photos with high quality. This program allows you to experiment with images as your imagination dictates.
Two to one: collage technique
So what do you need to do to combine two photos using Adobe Photoshop? This requires a few steps. To combine a photo, you need to open Photoshop, select "File" from the menu and create a new image by clicking the "Create" button. Then we indicate the approximate size of the image that should be obtained, taking into account the size and number of original images. Open the folder containing the photos selected for merging, and start dragging each one in turn to the background layer. Now each photo is centered, but you need to position it so that it is in the strictly designated place for it. Once the goal is achieved, find the "Move" icon in the toolbar and click on it. In the dialog box that appears, select "Place".
We repeat this algorithm until all the photos you need to combine the photos are on the background layer. The newly added photo will be on a different layer. That is, if you need to change the scale of a photo, then you must select a layer from the panel that corresponds to this photo. After that, you can apply all sorts of effects, scale, make adjustments, or perform many other actions you need. When all the photos have been added, and all the necessary actions have been completed, do not forget to save the resulting image.
disadvantages
Despite its seeming simplicity and many indisputable advantages, the Photoshop program also has a number of significant disadvantages. The program is very expensive and difficult for novice users to master. In order not to puzzle over it, you can use a simpler program - Photoscape. The program can be downloaded from almost any site on the Internet and installed on your computer. After successful installation, launch Photoscape and click the "Combination" icon in order to combine the photo. Using the explorer on the left side, select the photos on the computer disk that you want to combine, and drag them to the central part of the working window of the program. On the right side of the window, if necessary, you can change the location and order of photos by selecting the appropriate options from the menu: "4x-angle", "Vertical" and "Horiz". This is done so that each user can set a convenient way to use the program for himself. The change in visual appearance contributes to faster and more efficient work. After the process of connecting the photos is completed, it remains to save the result.
