How To Instructions
Just Text
Photoshop Images together as one
Step by step instructions:
1.Once you have logged into your computer and you are at the desktop, open up the big blue “E” called, internet explorer.
2.Now, if you’re looking for copyright images, (which you should be), find the site that you are looking for and type it in the URL address bar at the top of the page. Start with www. Then the name of the site, .com. So we’ll use www.gettyimages .com as an example.
3.Once you get there you’ll find the search bar on the top left side, and click into the bar.
4.You will then see an options type menu pop up. One of them will be checked off under “Royalty Free.” Uncheck that box and then type in your type of picture you want.
5.Once you have found your picture that you think fits the final project you want, click on it, and then it will open up as a bigger picture.
6.Right click then on the picture and a new menu will pop up, go to “save picture as,” and save it as a JPEG file (at the bottom of the box) with a file name that you will be able to remember to come back to it later.
7.Once you have one picture, go back to the homepage of gettyimages and do the exact same for your next picture.
8.Then when you have your two pictures go back to the desktop and open up Adobe Photoshop Elements, its symbol will be a sunflower.
9.In the top left corner of Photoshop click on file.
10.Then the third menu down click on open.
11.Find your two pictures you had saved earlier and open them up by holding down the “ctrl” button and clicking on the images you want. Then go to the bottom right part of the menu screen and click open.
12.Now you’re going to cut out part of one picture and paste it into the other you want it in. So on the tool bar you get on the left hand side go to it and move to mouse over each icon until you find the Lasso tool. Then right click on it and another bar will pop up, there select the magnetic lasso tool.
13.Then click on your picture you want to crop something out and use your magnetic lasso tool. Slowly move it around the part of the picture you want out.
14.When you get around your whole picture and back to where you started double click to make it all connect.
15.Then click “ctrl and c” and go to your other picture and click “ctrl and v.” This will then copy the picture you just cut out.
16.Now you may need to take your easer tool (on the bar on the left hand side again, same one you used for the Lasso Tool) and easer some parts that are still attached to your cut picture that you don’t want. Or also you can use a burn tool or other things to improve your image.
17.Once you think your picture is crystal clear and ready to go, click on the file button again at the top left corner and scroll down to the save as button, click on that.
18.When you save you can save it as a Photoshop picture, but to do anything else with it like post it to a blog or any of that you must save it as a JPEG file again. So to choose what you save it as, find the bar that says format (approximately in the middle of the menu) and go to the right side of that bar and click the bar, there you can scroll and find types of files you want to save it as. Note thought that certain file types are only used for certain programs.
19.There you have it a new Photoshop picture. Enjoy!
