Hello, this is my first try at a "blend". I read through the gradient blending tutorial prior to doing this, it helped alot.
 Here is my second attempt.

It's ok.
But the edges of each picture aren't blended well. Don't use gradient blending too much. Use the Lasso/Feather/Delete technique, it produces neater blends. |

looks nice for your first but you need to get rid of those edges..
they kind of take away from the image. |

I'm making a tutorial for my site as we speak! weird.. haha it'll be up soon [I'd be done by now, but stupid imageshack keeps being weird, and it wont upload my pics ugh]
lol the 2 pictures on the far left are nicely blended, but yeah, don't let each picture bleed into the adjacent picture too much |

the 2nd one is much better! in the 1st one, the images didn't seem to go very well together, and the edges weren't blended together enough. but the 2nd one's great for your first blend!

Thanks for comments. I like the way my second turned out, the feathering method looks much nicer. I also think the fact that all three images are black and white makes it look better as well.

i think its good for a first blend.
 If you blend pictures with similar backgrounds, it's much easier. And you can add brushes and effects and all that (you can do that with different bg's too though, of course) Then when you get the hang of blending the other pictures don't seem so bad. Thats your choice though. Great job!

Second attempt is much better.
Just make sure you save your work in a suitable format. Next, add more effects and brushes. You're on the right track. |
