    It would depend upon the sig. Mind showing a sig youd like to blend the render into?

    theres diffrent ways, but my favorite is to take a nice grunge brush with the eraser tool and erase just a lil of the rnder

    oh..i jsut got help whit this from a friend (heh..i never read tuts^^') but he hocked me up whit one

    ill copy and paste him...

    the pics, the socalled tuts are great and easy to understand, just look at the pics and read whats writhen on them:


    The two main things you will do different each time you blend a render or pic is how you outline the render and what you set the feather to.
    When I blend a render I will set the feather anywhere from 5 to 25 pixels. If you are using a picture that has not been cut out you will want to set the feather higher. About 30, or maybe more. It also depends on how close the edge of the render you select with the polygon lasso tool as to what you will set the feather to.
    Just play with it and you will see. :)
    Here are the tuts.

    I use that one quite a lot, someitmes i get the blur tool out and go round the edges or just use the blur tool for little things.

    Depends on how you want it to look...
    there are many tutorials, look for those that say "advanced blending techniques"... other ones will just use feather.

    You can also mess around with the filters and layer style. The ones mentioned aboce are probably the most well known.

    Exactly what I do. No two renders blend the same... except different ones of the same person and same colors, I guess.

    I use layerstyles, color balances (sumtimes) and the good ol' eraser tool with a 5 pixel airbrush set at low opacity...i never use the feather way...it blends it in TOO much, you always want a focal point ;)
