Blending 2 photos together to appear as one in 5

I have two "clouds" jpg's that I want to blend into one larger jpg ? They are very near exact as far as the cloud/sky colors taken at the same place/time.
How do I merge/blend them together without the noticeable verticle line that is there if simply merged via layers, etc ?
Thanks, Tim

You can try panorama for the two images. For that select the images Go to File>New mPhotomerge Panorama.
Alternatively join the images using layers and make them overlap slightly. Now remove the vertical line by erasing the edge of the layer on the top with eraser tool after reducing the opacity of the eraser tool. You can also use the clone stamp tool. Just Alt+Click to sample from lower layer and then paint. on to the overlapping part in the upper layer.

How to blend two photos together ?

Hi Everyone,
I'm an intermediate Photoshop user and this is my first post. I'm hoping to get some advice from an advanced user to achieve the following:
1) I have two seperate images...one of a scenic background and another of a person's face. I want to place the image of the person's face on top of the scenic background and blend them together so the person's face looks like a soft silhouette on the scenic background. I want to do this in an 'artful' way where the two images blend together with real chemistry. I tried using "overlay" mode on the facial image and fiddling with its layer opacity (which I thought would work) but the results look very contrived to me. Anyone know how to do this ?
Thank you very much for your time !
Jay

Thank you John for the quick reply. I actually excerpted the facial image fairly well and I did use a feathered edge as well as a layer style called "Outer Glow". Both of these techniques helped. I'm just looking a way for these two images to have real chemistry together. I am designing a series of sympathy cards for a memorial service and I'm looking to marry these two images together in an artful way. Are there any 3rd party filters that combine photos together in a collage like this ? Although my collage is very simple (just two images). I have attached one sample background image here if you'd like to see what it looks like. I have the image of the Woman's face already cut out on a transparent background in a .psd file. I can't seem to post a PSD file here in the forum. So, I uploaded it to a website where it can be downloaded from the following location:

Thank you,

Album photos do not appear on one of my albums

I have several photo albums. When opening one of my albums, there appears only white boxes (with dotted lines surrounding) for each photo. If I double-click on any of the white boxes, the image opens and I am able to edit, e-mail, print, etc.
I can not see the images on the page that usually shows the thumbnails.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Randy

Randy:
Is the background for your photos in the thumbnail mode set to white?
Try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administrator login name, long or short, in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
See if that will help.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos ( layering one on another) when I click on a brush, I get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instruction say it should do. Instead I can get the eraser to do what I need to do. Why the confusion

In Photoshop Elements 11 attempting to blend two photos (layering one on another) I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do. I can get the eraser to do what I want. Why the confusion???

I click on brush and get a smart brush which doesn't do what the instructions say it will do.
The Brush tool (Keyboard B) has several different brushes in the same slot. Right click on the brush icon and you will see them, or press B sequentially.
The Smart Brush tool (Keyboard F) has two items in the slot.
Since you did not provide reference to "the instructions", it is difficult to remedy the "confusion." that exists.
I suspect that the recipe calls for a mask, and painting with a black brush to mask out certain areas.
It would help if you post the instructions and what your goal is with more specificity.

I have Photoshop CS 6 on my computer. I want to bring a series of photos together into one image wi

I have Photoshop CS 6 on my Mac computer. I want to bring a series of photos together into one image without any space between images, does anyone know how to this? Ideally I would like to this manually.
The reason I ask in my ealier verion of Photoshop, CS3, there was a manual alignment feature when using 'Photo Merge' feature, undr which you could manual alignment photographs if you wanted to, and I do in this instance. This feature was removed in subsequent versions of Photoshop CS 4,5, and 6.

Sean, Batch resize them all to the samne size, load as layers, increase Canvas size, and the layers will 'snap' together with the Move tool. You'll be able to use the alignment tools in the Options bar when the Move tool is selected. You will also be able to use the 'Auto select layer' feature in the Options bar to make it easier grabing the right layer.
Otherwise, get hold of Contact Sheet 2. Still resize all the images to the same size, and set the gap to zero, and turn titles off. Please note this is from memory, and it is years sonce I last used Contact Sheet.

I have the same photo in more that one event. I would like to only have the photo appear in one event.

I have the same photo in more that one event. I would like to only have the photo appear in one event.

Then do not import it more than once in the future For now you can simply delete one of them and empty the iPhoto trash

I have a iPad 2 and need to print of a invoice can I print on my hp photos art 3110 all in one if so how do I go about it please

your printer doesn't appear in the compatible Airprint printers listed in this basic article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
There might be an app HP has to help you out, but there's no Apple supported way, as it's not an Airprint printer.
Anyways, hope this helps
Good luck

IOS 8.2: New photos don't appear in camera roll

Hello,
I am using the latest iOS 8.2 on an iPhone 6. Very often new photos don't appear in the camera roll. As if they were never taken!
Funniest thing is: in the camera app I can see the last picture in the bottom left but when I click it the camera roll shows me the photo taken before that (so it doesn't show me the one which is shown as a small preview in the camera live view).
Any way to clean up this mess? I tried resetting the phone and restoring an iTunes backup w/o success. Thanks!!!
Cheers Argentinos

Ok, so I got my pictures back, the ugly way though. What I did:
- made an iCloud backup of my phone (only 2GB instead of the earlier 4GB, because the camera roll was empty)
- restored my last iTunes backup, this was a month old. It was made right before i upgraded to iOS5.
- My pictures were back on my iPhone so i downloaded them to my PC.
- Then I restored the iCloud backup from my phone. The one I made before I restored the iTunes backup.
The pictures where gone again, but at least I had them on my PC.
I don't trust iCloud backups anymore. The backup itself holds all your settings and remembers which apps and data you had installed. But it went wrong when it had to redownload the pictures from the cloud. It was a hard lesson learned. From now on I'll backup my pictures once in a while. I was used to what Apple promises: that everything "just works". No, it doesn't.

How can I keep the front and back of a photo together in a single image?

I'm running PSE 8 on XP with SP3.
I'm getting ready to upgrade to PSE 9.
My cousin just sent me 24 old family photos.
On the back of each photo is a lot of information.
Who is in the picture, where it was taken, what the event was, etc.
What I'd like to be able to do is to scan these images in and somehow keep the front and the back of
each photo together in a single image. That way I can post them to a photo web site and people
can look at the image and read what it is.
I have a Lexmark Pro 205 printer/scanner.
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions!

I worked on one of the pictures with your Mom and Dad. These scans are quite good and there is a lot of information in them. One can spend a lot of time fixing them up - good project!
Here is what I did:
Duplicated background layer
Applied Brightness/contrast adjustment layer, worked the sliders
Merged down
Sampled sky with eye dropper tool, opened blank layer at top of stack, used brush tool to cover a few of the spots in the sky (?dust)
Merged down
Accessed Smart brush tool, selected black & white in drop down, selected high contrast b&w, covered the sky with that
Selected Yellow filter, and covered the ground
Merged down
Opened a blank layer at top of stack and added a couple of clouds
Applied Photofilter adjustment layer, warming filter LBA, adjusted density
Sharpened slightly with unsharp mask
Merged visible
Applied stroke
On review, the spots in the sky need additional work - they show up more on-line than in PSE. Can be fixed in step #4.

In iphoto my photos do no appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.

Help! In iphoto my photos do not appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.I tried all of the solutions that Apple suggested. Somehow I think that i am trying to send ALL my photos in an email.How do i unhide all of my photos?

Did you launch iPhoto with the Option(Alt) and Commnad keys held down like Terence suggested? If you did it properly you will get this window:
The second option is the one you want to run.

HT1229 Ive move photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto. When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found. I have thousands. How do I get rid of these images?

Hi Ive moved photos but they appear as duplicates in iPhoto. When you try and open them it says Photo can't be found. I have thousands. How do I get rid of these images?
Also I have many duplicate photos (from backups) It would be great to be able to remove all duplicates at one time, like in Itunes.
Can this be done?

You moved what photos from where and to where?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Photos do not appear properly on MyWay homepage.

When I do a restart of my laptop and open Firefox, my homepage (MyWay.com) opens properly showing photos. See attachment. After closing Firefox, and then reopening it, the photo do not appear, and the wheel in the upper left hand corner goes round and round like it is attempting to download something. Something is happening after I close the Firefox browser that seems to be causing this problem.

Hi, I try to load a photo from desktop and Elements 12 opens up but the photo doesn't appear in the screen. I used to get it but lately they don't appear.

I click on one of my photos on desktop and Elements 12 opens up but the photo doesn't appear on the screen. I was getting it before but it doesn't come through now.

Which operating system are you running on?
How are you trying to open the photos?
- from windows explorer? - double licking or right clicking and selecting Open with?
- by loading the editor and go to File -> Open?
Looking back at your other threads you seem to have had this problem before - what keeps changing?

Photos do not appear in imovie 11. black screen with frozen movie clip

Imovie 11 Photos do not appear in the movie a black screen for picture in picture or a frozen screen with sound and no photo

Yes
There is one possibility
• AVI or .avi is no Video Format/Codec - it is a container and usually contains something iMovie can not use OK.
Open it with QuickTime-player and then open inspector (cmd+I) and read
• Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnnnnnn
What does it read ? (all of it)
from wife Nikon D300s I read
Yours the same ?
Either I would
• import it into iPhoto and in iMovie import from title iPhoto Movies at top in Events window - or
• convert it into streamingDV .dv or AIC and use this.
AND - my read 24fps - I would convert this to PAL 25fps or to NTSC 29.97 (if for US) by JES_Deinterlacer.
