i'm not really a digi scrapper - yet! but i think this is more suited to here.
I am trying to make a photo collage of various animals from my ds's visit to the zoo so i can print it off BIG for his room - you know the sort that all the pictures are seperate but have soft edges and sort of blend into each other?
I have ps7, but cant work out how to do it.
Thanks for any help
Kate

Try photomix ... they are brilliant for photo montages. You can download the programme. I am not sure if the basic one is free and you then pay for the upgrade as I downloaded it a while ago, but they are really good. xoxo

Hi,

You can also use masks to blank out parts of each picture to blend it in with the one on top/next to it.

Anna Aspnes who has a lot of work posted at Scrapbook_bytes is a master of this kind of thing and she uses the eraser brush decreasing the opacity as she goes and layer blend modes to great effect. She did have a tutorial on her website but don't know if it is still there. Check out her gallery at SBB and see if this is what you are looking for.

HTH,
Jules
