Combining Images II
page oneIn the first ‘Combining Images’ tutorial, I showed you how to move an image onto a another image by dragging it to its new home, and blending the edges.
However, if you want the moved image to be partially covered by objects in the image it has been moved to, it is a little bit more complicated.
I’ll show you how to use a layer mask to do this with the following two images.

used the move tool to drag the apple
onto the snake image.
