How's it going everyone this Vertic.
For this video we're going to take a look at a quick and simple
Blend effect that you can do in Photoshop. If you want to you can go ahead and look in the description
There'll be a link to these images so you can follow along.
The first thing you want to do is we want to import this image so you can left-click and drag this into Photoshop.
If you can't open it like this you can go to file and open that works just the same.
Next up you want to get yourself the other image as well. So left-click and drag it into Photoshop
And you pretty much want to scale this down to what you prefer.
Now if it makes it easier for you
You can turn down the opacity to about 50% and then this makes it easier so you can see it.
But then you want to press CTRL + T again so you can re-size it and then scale it down a little bit more.
If you can't press CTRL + T and this doesn't work for you. You can go to the show transform controls right here.
And this lets you do it the same as well, but then you want to double left-click on it
And then you want to un-check.
But I like to use the shortcut which is CTRL + T
And this allows me to edit it. So I'm going to put it about here. I'm quite happy with it being here
So I'm gonna double left-click and then this will apply it
and then I'm going to put the opacity up to 100% again.
Now that I've done that, we're going to create ourselves a mask
So if you press this icon down at the bottom right here, this will get yourself a mask.
Once you've got yourself a mask you want to get yourself the brush tool and you want to make sure it's got a soft edge
Around it
So make sure the hardness is on zero.
You want the size to be quite big as well.
So you can either edit it here or you can use the square bracket on your keyboard to make it larger or smaller.
Once you've done that you want to get yourself a black colour, black will subtract and then white will add onto it.
So the way that a mask works is we can use the black to take away the edges and then if you want to
Re-add them we'll use a white colour.
You want to make sure you are on the mask itself so you can switch between these two just make sure this one is selected
Otherwise it will paint on top of this one.
So make sure it's selecting this one and then once you're happy with it, you pretty much
Soften the edges nicely so it looks like
They are blended together.

And there we go that is not looking too bad.
So now that we've done that if you wanted to you can give it an effect
So if you go where it says normal and then go to the one that says screen.
This will pretty much give you this effect.
Now, the only problem with this effect is that we can still see the hear.
So what we want to do is, you want to go on the background and then also create a mask on the background.
You also want to get yourself a solid colour.
So if you go down here and go to solid colour, get youself a black and then put this one underneath.
And then go back to your background, click on the mask and then remove this from here like so.
And now it's gone.
You can always keep on editing this one if you're not happy with it
So if you want to take away a little bit more of the edges for example down here.
You can always make it a little bit smaller and then just keep taking it away from here like so.
Now what we're going to do is we're going to fix this one as well.
So you can disable a mask if you hold SHIFT and click on it
This will disable it and I'm not quite happy with the bottom bit. So I'm gonna take that away by getting a white colour.
Make it a little bit smaller and then
Getting rid of this here.
So yeah, that's not looking too bad I'm quite happy with this
it looks really cool so far if you wanted to you can also apply some colour and you can apply some other things like
A brightness and contrast if you go on this one, go on the top layer, get yourself a brightness and contrast
And let's increase the brightness a little bit. Let's get ourself some contrast.
And if you only wanted to apply it to the image right here
You want to hold ALT
And then when this icon pops up you pretty much left click and that will only apply it to this layer right here.
So as you can see if we turn it off
It's only turned it off in here.
And yeah, that is pretty much it, a quick blend effect that you can do yourself and you can get really creative with this
So anyway, I will see you all next time.
Bye.
