First you have to start off and take the picture you want to blend into the background, I used this one of Sub-Zero.



Then grab your lasso tool and set the feather to 20 px. Make a selection around the main part of the image.



Hit Ctrl+I to invert your selection and press delete.



Afterwards, take your image and paste it on to the desired background and set it to luminosity and 10% opacity.

This is an example of what you can make using this technique:



If you are unclear of anything in this tutorial, feel free to ask.

thanks

i have a backround, but i cant get an image on the backround to blend it

Because your image needs to be on a seperate layer.

i made another layer, but when i go to open, it jsut makes a whole nother backround for the image

EDIT: screw it, i quit, im too retarded to get ANY of this

That may be because the image is bigger than your background image. Edit > Free Transform.

Hold Shift and drag any of the corners inwards until it's where you want it.

Some nice stuff there dude thanks :P
