Help Needed combining photos

[eulle]

I'm searchin out for some skill that is a lot greater than mine when it comes to photoshop. I have 2 pictures that i'd like to combine making them one, but am having a hell of a time doing it, and it's coming out aweful. If someone could give me a hand with it i'd be greatly appreaciated. I need one image for a thank you card. if you can do this please send the final image of the large photos to eulle23@gmail.com. Thanks

Paste top image as a new layer and set opacity(of new layer) to 50%

Is that what you ment?

but the pictures are slightly off... they are a little different angle and perspective (the kids moved)

Well I don't know why that matters, exept if you want to blend two similar layers to create somthing quite the same.

there are loads of turorials online (googe: creat a panorama, or something like that).
But you have some problems with your photo's.
- The light is diffrent (because of the flashlight)
- The angel is diffrent
- The overlap is to small, to make good panoramics you should take pictures with 30% - 50% overlap.

Hey everyone,

thanks for the suggestions. I'm going to try and retake the photo's with the suggestion that you all gave. Thanks for the advice. hopefully my new pictures will be easier to work with.

you should maybe think about investing in a camera that did it for you. For example, all of the new canons have the "stitch assist" feature. Perfect for this.
