3 Step Digital Scrapbook Photo Compositing Tutorial

Compositing is a multi-photo approach to blend photos together in a digital scrapbooking page.

On this page, I composited two photos together, but the technique works the same, no matter how many photos you use.

3 Step Compositing Photos Tutorial

1. Using Guides

  • Open and place the photo of choice.
  • Use Guides placed at the edges of the photo to mark the edges of the image
  • Add an Inverse or Reverse Layer Mask to the photo layer.
  • Use AnnaBlendz Artsy brushes to reveals areas of the image.

Note that, the Guides help me to avoid the edges of the photo.

2. Transparency via Opacity

  • Open and position a second photo.
  • Reduce the Opacity so you can see through to the first photo layer.
  • Position and resize to find the best fit.
  • Increase the Opacity back to 100%
  • Add the Guides to the edges of the photo and repeat blending process to reveal areas of the image.

3. The ‘Right’ Background

  • Select a background that co-ordinates with your photos in terms of color and theme.
  • You want your images to blend seamlessly and the ease of transitions will be impacted by the colors you choose.
  • For this layout, I chose ArtsyPaper4.jpg from ArtPlay Palette Heartland.

Conclusion

The 3 Step Digital Scrapbook Photo Compositing Tutorial is a great go-to method for blending multiple photos on a layout.
