Photoshop: Photoshop 4 Beginners: How to Blend Two Pictures

Lovely result, it actually looked really good, yet you did it in 5 steps. :)

qk

thanks for your comment. im really happy it as this is my first tutorial..

it didnt work for me.. all the gradient tool did was make my layer into a gradient from black to white

what am i doing wrong?

i guess you used the gradient tool on the layer itself. You have to use the gradient tool on the layer mask. Make sure the layer mask is highlighted in your layer box instead of your layer.

Just click on the layer mask and start to use the gradient. HOpe it may help.

ok, thank you, it works now
