Hope this is the right place >.< K this is EMBARRASING to me... I was wondering if someone could help me blend the faces of two figures (from a game) nicely with the rest of the picture... it's a valentine card thingy... so it's embarrasing and I'd rather send my psd to them... if anyone's willing to help out I'd appreciate it... I'm a noob at photoshop and Eraser tool... how will that work... since the skin has different shades and all... wouldn't that like be creating a one color skin with no variation?
The method I use for blending is feathering. Goto the layers panal and CTRL+Click on the layer for one of the people. Then goto Select->Feather and chose something between 5 and 10, you can experiment with this. Press the quickmask button on the layer window. Thats the square with the circle in second in from the left by the layer style button. You can repeat this for each character if you want them to blend together or use SHIFT+CTRL+Click to select the second and then feather at the start if you want to blend them into the BG but not with each other. Alternatively you can just lower the opacity using the layers window but this will have the effect over the whole picture. Using an eraser will have the same effect as the Layer Mask but unevenly and with a lot more work.
Its a nice tut but for blending the feathering is much easier and gives a better result IMO. If you do that tutorial, after you have put the renders on the BG then CTRL Click the layer panal to select them (SHift+ctrl+click to get the second) and then go select->feather 5-10 and then hit the layer mask button he shows. Feathering slowly makes it transparent so you will see the render slowly fading into the background. If you do the two renders separately they will blend into each other and not just the BG.
thanks for the info/tut guys... -rep EDITING: SHOOOT I MEANT ++++- rep HAHAHAH... but I did - rep not - rep lol
