Blending an image from two sides? - RTL - 03-13-2021
Hi
Im trying to blend an image from two sides but cannot figure out how
I have a main background image, and then a smaller one in the center of it which id like to blend from both sides so its not so aburpt.
I can use the blend tool to soften one edge but cannot do the other?

Use a layer mask. The sequence:
Open the small image as a layer Image -> Open as Layers over the background.
Apply a layer mask to the small image layer layer Layer -> Mask -> Add Layer mask Choose the 'white' option.
Click in the layer mask icon in the layers dock to make it active.
With a black FG and the fuzzy brush (hardness 25) paint out the edges to suit. (make a mistake ? switch to white FG and paint back in)
