How to Overlay One Image on Another in Paint. Right-click and choose 'Copy' from the context menu. Navigate back to the 'File' tab and choose 'Open.' Browse to navigate to the second image. Click the image and choose 'Open.' Right-click anywhere on the image and choose 'Paste' from the context menu. With those programs you can merge two, or more, images together. That’s usually done with their layering options that enable you to combine multiple pictures with various blending modes and gradient tools. In this article I will present a short and basic tutorial on how to blend images together using the freeware image editing software, Paint.
Hey everyone, I'm currently in the works on an art piece, and I was wondering how you insert other pictures into a paint tool sai picture? I'm trying to put random pictures from a series into what appears to be a crystal ball, giving the feeling like the pictures are memories of the person as they bend and conform to the ball's shape.
How is this done in sai, and if not, how can it be done?Also, I downloaded a couple brushes from one of the above topics, and I have the elemap, but how do I put it into sai to use?Any help is much appreciated.
Take a look at the two images below. The one on top is better of the boy, but the girl has her eyes closed. In the second picture she looks better, but he’s got one eye closed. There are many ways to combine these two pictures using Photoshop, but the single most efficient technique is to combine both images into one file, each on their own layer. Then, using the Auto-Align Layers command you can let Photoshop line up both images with each other, and then just use a mask to punch through to the underlying image. Let’s give it a try.
Open Adobe Photoshop CS3 or later. Open the two images you would like to combine. Using the Move tool, drag one image into the other file. Double-click each layer name in the Layers panel to give each layer a unique name. Drag the thumbnails up or down, so that the top layer is the better image, but the bottom layer has a better expression on one or more of the subjects.Select both layers by clicking on one and then shift-clicking the other. Choose Edit Auto-Align Layers, and set Projection to Auto. (This allows Photoshop to align two rapid sequence photos, making it easy to remove the goofy expressions from the top layer and expose the better expression from the bottom layer).
Click on OK. While novice Photoshop users may opt to use the Eraser tool to carefully erase the girl’s face from the top layer, for the Intermediate to Advanced user, a Layer Mask is a much better solution.
To use a Layer Mask, select the top layer, and choose Layer Layer Mask Reveal All. Press the letter D on the keyboard to reset your colors to Black and White. Use the Brush tool with a soft brush to paint away to the underlying layer, exposing the image underneath. Remember that you can easily decrease/increase the brush size by tapping the and keys on your keyboard. If you remove too much of the top layer, just press the letter X on the keyboard to switch your colors so that White is on top, and paint back in pixels from the top layer.
When you are done, you’ll have created a much-improved composite image out of two mediocre ones.
