Steps to craft imaginative photos by seamlessly blending two images

  1. With an image open, drag and drop a second image from your computer so it's added as a layer above the first.
    If you are working with the provided sample file, select the top layer and turn on layer visibility.

  2. With the top layer selected, choose a blend mode that achieves the desired effect.
    Hover over each blend mode to see its preview on the canvas. Blend Modes are non- destructive, so you can freely experiment without altering your original images.
