8 Important Things You Must Know When Combining Image Layers

1. Combine Image Layers by Using Layer Opacity and Blend Modes Layer opacity and blend modes allow you to combine image layers and create special effects. You can use the Layers palette to adjust the opacity value for individual layers, and change the  way layers interact with each other by applying different blend modes.

2. Create a multilayered composite containing several image layers. Position the images wherever you like within the boundaries of the canvas. Now blend them together by using the Layers palette opacity controls and blend mode options.

3. Combine Image Layers by Using Layer Masks and Gradients Layer masks allow you to conceal (or reveal) specific image areas—and they work nondestructively.

4. Create a multilayered composite containing at least two image layers. Position the images wherever you like within the boundaries of the canvas. Now blend them together by using layer masks and gradients.

5. Combine Image Layers with Editable Text by Using Vector Masks One of the most interesting and effective ways of making text and photos work together is to fill the characters of large display type with an image. The great thing about type masks is that they allow you to edit the text, and thus change the crop area, at any time—without damaging any pixels!

6. Open the image that you’d like to place inside some type. Press D to reset the application default colors of black foreground and white background. Cut the image to a new layer above the Background. Enter a new name for the layer. Now add some bold text on a new layer underneath the image.

7. Combine Image Layers by Using Blending Options One other advanced way to combine image layers is to apply the Blending Options available in the Layer Style dialog box. These options allow you to create transparent areas in a selected image layer based on how bright or dark the image is.

8. Create a multilayered composite containing at least two image layers. Position the images wherever you like within the boundaries of the canvas. Now blend them together by using advanced blending options.
