Hi,

I'd like to try and make a photo collage, two photos blending into one another.

Being new to Photoshop I've watched a whole load of tutorials and all seem to assume you already have the image ready in the workspace and I'm not clear if there is right and wrong way of getting an image into the workspace.

Any advice or help would be most welcome.

Cheers

Just open the pictures in PS as you normally would. You can have as many open as you need. Then use the move tool to drag then onto the other canvas.

Thanks for that Hawkeye, how do I get both photographs into the same workspace?

I open the first one from where my photos are saved, but when I open the second one, I can't see the first one. It seems to open in a different workspace.

Cheers
Barry

What screen mode are you using? Try setting it to standard. View- Screen Mode- Standard Screen Mode.
