Digital Art Compilations tutorial
Original Image
I opened an image to be the backgound and duped it .
Then I chose 8 elements from other photos.
Selecting each element, I dragged them onto the background layer.
This created 10 layers in all.
I added layer masks to each element layer for blending in.
I used Image/ Adjustments / Levels on each element.
Merged all layers.
Adjustment layer Hue/ Saturation ~ colorize.
Unsharp mask filter.
2 Curves layers, inverted.
Merge all layers.
Save after resizing.
