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

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.

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.

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