How to place digital photos onto a colored background?

I have old photographs that I shot with my DSLR to digitize them.  I would like to combine two differently-sized photos onto a colored background to create one image.  I am brand-new to PS and LR (and very excited to finally have them!) and could use some help.
Thank you!

Try this:
1) Decide what size you would like your final image to be and create a new PS document (File > New.)
2) Click on your foreground color and choose the desired color for your background layer.
3) To add the color to your background layer go to Edit > Fill.
4) Go to File > Place (or Place Embedded) and navigate to your first photo. This will open it up as a new smart object layer. Press Enter to accept after it has opened.
5) Repeat step 4 for your second photo.
6) You can now scale your photos down and position them as desired by selecting a layer and going to Edit > Transform. Shift+click a corner of the image to scale, click inside to move. Press Enter when done.

    Hi,
    How do I get photos onto my computer from my iPhone?
    Thanks!

      Go to the iTunes Store.
    Plug your iPhone into your PC (use the USB cable provided with the phone).
    Next, look for the iTunes Store bar-icon towards the top right ( where it is on my PC screen).
    Next to it an iPhone bar-icon will pop up. Click it and follow instructions. After that, your phone will auto sync photos and tunes when you
    plug it into iTunes.

  • How do I download photos onto a flash drive in the order they appear in my iPhoto folder?

    How do I burn/copy photos onto a flash drive and keep the photos in the same order they appear in iPhoto folder?  I have iphoto'11  9.1.3

    There are two ways. First put them in the order you want in an album.
    Method 1:
    1 - rename the album the photos are in to something that will work as a file name for the photos.
    2 - export photos to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export
    menu option with File Name = Album Name with number.
    Method 2:
    1 - select the photos in the album and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text
    menu option to rename the photos and add a sequential number to the end of the file name.
    2 - export photos to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export
    menu option with the option File Name use Title

  • HT201788 How do I burn photos onto a DVD from iPhoto?

    I am trying to burn photos/folders from iPhoto onto a DVD/CD but when disc utility opens I am unable to burn any of the items or folders onto the disc.  I thought that my optical drive was perhaps malfunctioning so I purchased a SuperDrive.  However, I am running into the same problem. The folders or pictures within, that I want to burn remain inactive.  How can I burn these pictures onto DVD/CD?

    What kind of DVD disk do you want to create?  A data disk that just contains the image files or a video DVD disc that can be played on a DVD player on a TV set.  They are two entirely different types of disks and require different workflows.
    If you're running Yosemite then you have iPhoto 9.6 or 9.6.1.
    For a data disk:
    1 - select the photos to be burned to disk and export to a folder on the Desktop File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu.  Set the Kind = what you want, the original file or the current, edited version.
    2 - insert a blank DVD in the optical drive.
    3 - drag the folder of photos onto the DVD disk's icon.
    3 - drag the DVD disk icon to the Trash Bin in the Dock which turns into the Burn function:
    For a video DVD disk:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

    When there are photos and/or videos in the Camera Roll, the iPhone is also detected as a digital camera when connected to a computer. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
    You have never emailed a photo with your computer?

  • How to place an image onto each page

    Hi !
    How do I place an image onto each page (like a logo in a sidebar) using Pages 5.5 ?
    Thanks,
    Karsten

    Karsten,
    I am surprised no one has answered you yet - there are so many Pages users here.
    I am not a Pages user but I did find one way here on this thread in an answer from Arno Jannarelly
    insert image to header in Pages, template header
    "If you want any layout item to be repeated to all of the pages of your document, you just have to select the item(s), then go to Arrange/Section Masters/Move Object to Section Master.
    The good thing of this is that you can repeat any item or group of items placed anywhere you want on the page."
    Now when I first tried it I had no luck, until I selected the image and went to Arrange > Section Masters from the main menu, not on the right hand side from the Format/Document area.  
    From there there is an option: Move Object to Section Master.
    You then can format your image with drop shadows, opacity, etc. and it should be there on new pages in Pages.

  • How do I move photos onto an external HD?

    Help!  My icloud storage is full!
    I have an iphone, a macbook and an ipad.  I am pretty sure most of my photos are doubled if not ripled on these devices.  I want to move them out of the stream, cloud, and or library onto an external HD.  How do I do that?  I have manually transferred all my photos from phone to iphoto on the macbook, but they weren't removed from the phone.  ugh.
    I need help, clearly.
    Thank you in advance!

    To move a Library: just drag it from the Pictures Folder.
    To choose between Libraries: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    To Create a new Library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

  • How do I sync photos onto my ipad from multiple computers?

    My dad just got an ipad and we're trying to sync pictures from multiple computers.  He's already synced pictures from his computer.  But there are some pictures on my computer that he wants too.  Every time I try to sync photos from my comptuer to his ipad, a menu pops up and asks if I want to replace his existing photos.    I don't want to replace his photos with my photos.  I just simply want to add to his collection of photos. 
    Of course I can always transfer photos on my computer onto a flash drive and upload it onto his computer.  But I want to know if there is a way where I can sync photos from multiple computers onto his ipad without replacing his original pictures.. (and without using a flash drive or emailing pictures)
    Thanks

    Only the contents of the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, and not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad - so you need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go. There are third-party apps for the iPad such as Simple Transfer that allow you to transfer photos to the iPad via your wifi network, but they will just go into the Saved Photo/Camera Roll album on the iPad - though with iOS 5 in the Autumn you will then be able to move photos between albums on the iPad

  • How to load new photos onto Iphone without duplicating old photos?

    Hi There
    I use my IPhone to store all of my photos and want to update it actively every couple of weeks, i recently tried to add to the existing photos on my iphone but found that the photos that were on the phone to begin with are now all duplicated, but the IPhone isn't registering that they are duplicated (ie - if the folder has 30 photos in it and recognises 30 photos there are actually 60 photos in the album that I can see?) How can I add to the photo folder without the existing photos duplicating?
    Thanks

    Try removing/deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder from the folder of photos on your computer's hard drive you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone followed by another sync.

  • How do I get photos onto my laptop. it just goes straight to sync, I have windows 7

    I have tried to get my phone to allow me to import photos to the laptop from the Iphone. All to no avail.
    Can anyone help.?

    Thanks Randers, but I have already been there.
    The problem is I don't know how to make the computer recognize the Iphone, so as to have the menu appear that asks, "do I wish to view files, etc". This menu is clearly the key, but I can't get it.
    It just goes straight to Synchronisation.
    I"ve checked the sttings in the control panel - Autoplay and set it to "Ask me everytime".
    Is it significant that when I plug the Iphone into the computer, it doesn't show up on the file manager like everything else?

    Thanks

    It is OK. Got it sorted I think! Had imported the spreadsheet from Excel and found that if selected a cell outside the main spreadsheet range that could then paste there and just move the photo over.
    Still welcome any other suggestions though.
