The operation of combining several images into one is very typical for various tasks associated with editing digital raster graphics, for example, when creating photo collages. As a rule, combining is done by sequentially adding graphic fragments to the base image. In the simplest case, as a rule, you need to glue two pictures together.

Instructions
Step 1
Open one of the merged images in Adobe Photoshop. To do this, press the Ctrl + O keys, or select the "File" and "Open …" items in the main menu. Then in the "Open" dialog go to the directory with the file, select it in the list and press the "Open" button.
Step 2
Load the second of the merged images into the editor. Similar to the previous step, open the image in a new document window.
Step 3
Select a fragment of the second picture, which should be part of the resulting image. To do this, use the selection tools. They are activated by the corresponding buttons on the toolbar. Select large areas with the Rectangular Marquee Tool or the Elliptical Marquee Tool. To select areas of complex shape, you can use the tools of the Lasso Tool group. You can also use the Quick Mask, the Magic Wand Tool, or the Quick Selection Tool. To add an area to an existing selection, work with the tools while holding down the Shift key. Similarly, use the alt="Image" key to exclude arbitrary areas from the selection.
Step 4
Copy the selection to the clipboard. Press the key combination Ctrl + C, or use the "Copy" item of the "Edit" menu.
Step 5
Add the previously copied image to the clipboard to the first of the open images. Switch to the document window of the first image. Press the key combination Ctrl + V, or use the "Paste" item of the "Edit" menu.
Step 6
Transform and move the pasted image from the clipboard to adjust its size and position to the details of the background image. Use the items "Scale", "Perspective", "Distort", "Warp", "Rotate", "Skew" in the "Transform" section of the "Edit" menu, or press Ctrl + T to perform a free transformation.
Step 7
Save the combined image. Press Alt + Shift + Ctrl + S, or select "File" and then "Save for Web & Devices" from the menu. Set the image compression rate and format. Click the "Save" button. Select a name and path to save the file. Click the "Save" button.
