Put an Image Over Another in Photoshop

Learn how to make a background transparent so an image can be placed over another. Combining images together almost always requires removing the background before anything else is done. This will isolate the image or object in question, allowing for easy transfer and it can even look very real. Take a look at how we morphed two faces together to create a new person by removing the background of the selection before transferring.
Today we’ll look at two simple clipart images to show the fundamental routine one goes through to isolate a picture and combine it with another.

Remove the Background From Any Image Using Photoshop

Photoshop makes removing images a breeze. The only issue with doing so is ensuring the selection for removal doesn’t include the non-removable items. More specifically, making sure the image doesn’t look odd when extracting its background is a little difficult. Nonetheless, we’ll take a look at how this is done.

1)
Import her into Photoshop.

2)
Zoom up to her lips and choose the 'Polygonal Lasso Tool'.

Combine Two Faces Into One In Photoshop

Editing images to make them more appealing to the eye is something we all think about when we imagine Photoshop. More than that, we can actually make new people - people that don't actually exist (or so we think).

In this tutorial you'll follow my pictures to combine two well-known actors into one.

1)

Import this image of Bruce Willis and this one of George Clooney into Photoshop.

Used to simply select a color for use in editing.

Working With Layers

Layers is what we use in Photoshop to both organize our space and to create a rich environment for editing and manipulating photos. It makes combining and removing space very easy and quick.

Note: Navigate to Window > Layers if the menu is not currently shown.

1)
Place an image. I recommend this one for sheer simplicity.

This tutorial only works by utilizing the copy/paste function from this previous post.

Notice how you have two layers present. One says 'Background' and the other says 'Layer 1', which has your image. The background layer acts as a layer on the bottom. As more layers are added, they stack up on top of each other as they appear to in the layers panel. We can manipulate this.
