im doing exactly what you say but when i do the shift+gradient down or any direction, nothing fades or makes a difference.

i made sure everything clicked or checked was done so.

[yickjr1]

I found that the mode was changed to screen instead of normal and the same was occuring. Try changing the setting back to normal and you should be okay.

Im having trouble opening two images. When I open the 2nd one. I cant see the 1st one :-(

[pittapatta]

You have to resize the 2nd pic to make it smaller and then the other ones will appear

[white929]

its really great. i tried it out! and i found a way how to do it with a lot of pictures.

[10STRINGS]

cool!!! you are the guru! :)

When I use the gradient tool it does not show the background picture but when I print black with brush it does, for some reason the gradient tool is not working, help.

[princessmagical]

I think my program is defective because when I have Photoshop CS3 open and I open two different pictures, I can't get both pictures to be in the same layer box. They just have their own layer box which I can't do what this tutorial shows. And also, all those options you see right above the picture doesn't appear on mine either. Only the toolbar for CS3 shows.

[GamerChanel]

You have to have them both semi minimized and use the move tool to grab on of the photos into the other.

[DigitalPhotoGuru]

Make sure your background and foreground colors are default, and then Alt + Click the Layer Mask icon at the bottom of the Layers panel.

i tried to copy a human to the background, but when i put him to the background only his arm was there.. what should i do?

[zixuan369]

hey thanks for the great help. But is it possible to make a collage of more than 2 photos? everytime i try to use the gradient tool to reveal the 3rd photo, the previous effect would have been gone. pls help! :)

[DigitalPhotoGuru]

Before you add the third photo, flatten the previous layers (Crl + E), or flatten all visible layers to a new layer (Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E. Add your 3rd photo as a new layer, and apply the gradient to complete the collage.

thanks!

Can photoshop files from earlier versions of photoshop (photoshop 5.5) be opened on photoshop cs3?

[TuberDummy]

I'm not sure. I would imagine CS3 can open any PSD file. Have you tried the trial version, or do you own CS3?

[Nethercore]

I followed you word for word and it did not work for me. Am I missing something right before the gradient tool? I can't get my shift and click to drag to work.

[DigitalPhotoGuru]

Make sure you click the layer mask before using the gradient tool.

[resoslideguitar]

excellent tutorial made so simple to understand!!!

[adp922]

excellent tutorial!!!!

[sweetsword]

Thanks excellent tut - you explain brilliantly for me since I only just bought my first ever photoshop and am about to embark on a multimedia course - so thanks!

[maidmarciae]

It isn't what I was looking for, but awesome nonetheless! Thank you!

p.s. you need to edit your sound. less bass, more treble. it's quite hard to understand what you're saying at times.

cheers.
