Blend it Like Beckham!!

Greetings Could do with a bit of advice.
WHat is the best method(s) for blending images together.
Like most web designers do in their banners. They blend images together seamlessly.
I have tried using the blur tool and smudge tool but this is not good enough or am I doing something wrong?

Cheers for lisnin.

Gfreek.

There are many ways to blend pictures together, some take time so can be done for you.

you could put a a fade on both pictures so they fade into each other

or there are built in effects in most good art packages, like lighten, darken, hue, multiple simply click on the items you want the effects adding to and select the option you want, it will take time.

Hope that helps sorry if it doesn't

If you want to email me the to pics i'll have a go

r u using photoshop? if so, keep the first picture, and add a new layer, add the other pic to the new layer, and make the layer transparent probaly to 50%. it worked for me (i have photoshop 7.0)
