How do I combine photos?

How do I combine photos in Photoshop CS6?

There are a few ways, some are destructive (changes the pixels themselves) and others are nondestructive (non of the pixels get changed)
Have an image on each layer, then use the Gaussian blur filter on each image (since this would blur the entire image you can use a selection tool to tell what part of the image that should get blurred)
The better way is to apply a mask to each layer, then make the selection and use the Gaussian blur filter on the mask it self. This not only blurs the edge (assuming that is what is selected) but because it is a mask, anything below that layer becomes visible in that area. Since the blur filter was applied to the mask and not the image itself, this means that you can change your mind any time in future, from altering the blur to removing the mask all together. The key here is to make sure you select the mask thumbnail on that layer to edit the mask, then select the image thumbnail to edit the image.
Keep in mind if you do use the mask option, the color from lower layers will show through, so no lower layer would be white showing through. Just add a lower layer and fill it with a color of your choice, including the color of the image if you want it as neutral as possible.

  • I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album?

    I have photos I want to group together in one album, but can't do this because some may have the same number. How can I combine them all into one album? I was trying to move several albums onto a USB drive and it stated all other files exist at this location.  They are pictures taken at different times and have the same number I guess.

    In iPhoto albums may contain photos with the same file name - iPhoto handles that just fine
    If you are exporting them to move somewhere else use the sequential file name feature of export to give each file a unique name

    You mean while creating a book in iPhoto?  Click on the layout button while viewing a page and select the layout that includes both text and photos.  Most themes will have those options.

    I would like to combine photos from the same event that were imported from different cameras. Can anyone tell me how that is done?

    I hope this doesn't sound unhelpful, but did you start with the + sign in the upper right corner?
    If so, could you explain more about what you are doing and what is not working?

    I have several pics of my new grandson throughout the year.  How do I combine them into one event

    You can drag and drop photos from one Event to another. Or you can flag them and use the Events: Add Flagged photos to Select Event.
    However, why not use an Album for the job?

  • How do you combine artists and albums in itunes?

    I just recently bought an iPod classic and am now using iTunes to edit my prolific library of music so that I can put it on my iPod.  I have much editing to do of songs, artists, albums, etc.  I am finding that some of my songs are broken up from the album they should be on, and yet the name of the album is the same and it still appears separate from the main album.  I also have some artists who are broken up as well, even though they have the same name.  How can I combine artists, albums, etc into one file?  I want all the songs from an album to be under one album and all albums to be under one artist, not two with the same name.  This was very easy to do in Windows Media Player but can't figure out how to combine songs to one album or combine artists to show up once under one file.  HELP!

    If you are on a PC and want to sync photos to the iPhone this is how you do it. First, create a folder and place the pictures that you want on the iPhone in that folder. You can copy them, or move them into that folder, whichever. Once you connect the iPhone to iTunes, from the Summary screen, click on the tab for photos. In that section, tell iTunes what folder you want to sync to the phone. It is better to make the folder you want to sync in "My Pictures" that is located in the "My Documents" folder. iTunes automatically looks at the "My Pictures" folder and can sync all photos, or you can choose particular folders. I have a folder called iPhone pictures that is in the My Pictures folder, and I tell iTunes to sync just that particular folder.
    Hope that helps you.

  • How do you combine 2 iPhoto picture albums?

    How do you combine 2 photo albums?
    Can you add pictures to a book once you've already started it?

    What i did to combine an ablum was to change the album information so it is exactly the same as the one you want to merge it with. i did this and it worked. it has to be exactly the same, word for word. to edit the album information, right-click on the album and click "get info". a Box will appear. click on the 2nd tab to edit info. you can even change the album cover!
    *note: this hasn't been tested for music downloaded from the iTunes Store.
    Hope This Helps!

  • How do I delete photos in iPhoto

    how do I delete photos in iPhoto?

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

    How do I move photos within a journal (ie from 1 page to another) in iPhoto

    iPhoto is not very smart with multiple photos...
    I don't think you can move multiple photos and I suggest the following turnaround, using the "combine pages" option mentioned in my previous reply.
    Create a blank page that you move next to the page(s) where the photos you want to move are; 
    then move your pictures there one by one (use the new page as a temporary parking space),
    then merge this new page were you want to move the multiple pictures, using the "combine pages".
    This would save time if your journal has many pages, so you don't have to move each photo through multiple pages but just to the next/previous page.
    I just made this up but I tried it and it works!

  • How do I combine the data of two different iPhones so the data is put together on one iPhone?

    I have two iPhones. On both is different data, how do I combine this (in an easy way) so all of the data is put together on my new iPhone?
    The agenda and music works ok with iCloud, but my old photos and notes not.

    Notes can be synced through iCloud as long as you have a @me.com account. The photos will need to be imported to a computer (Follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 ) and synced into the phones seperately through iTunes.

  • How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    How do I combine two or more pictures into one?

    I found out how to do what I wanted and I'm giving my steps in hopes that it might help someone else.  I wanted to put several photos from a file onto a new blank image.  This is what I did.
    1.  Create a blank page.    File/New/ Blank File.   Put in the size.  I used 8x10.
    2.  Bring the photo  you want to use into Elements as you always do. It will list along the top next to the blank sheet.
    3.  Choose SELECT (top of screen)/ Select All.
    4.  Choose Edit/Copy   or Command "C"
    5.  Click on the Blank File.   Chose Edit/Paste  or Command "V"
    6.  Click on Image/ Transform or Command "T".  There should be a dotted line around your pasted image.  You can then move and adjust the image to how you want it.  When finished, press the check-mark on lower right of photo.
    7.   Repeat this with all the photos you want on the new blank file.
    8.  You will see on lower right of Elements,  the background layer and as many layers as you have photos.  These layers need to be permanently placed on the background layer. Go to Layers and press Merge Visible.  This will merge all layers to the background.
    9.  Save as and you are done.
