How to Fade two images together in Photoshop-Fade effect
In this video, I'm going to show you how you could fake two images together and Photoshop to create this effect. So I have two images here that I want to blend together. This is the first one, and this is the second one, and I need to bring both of them into the same Photoshop files. So to do that, I'm going to go to my second image. I'm just going to grab it here from the layer, and I'm going to drag it onto this and let go and now I could resize it. So they both have the same shape and size. I'm just going to grab and scratch. If you don't have those guys, you could just press command T and it's going to give you those guides and if you hold shift is gonna keep it in the same aspect ratio, and it's not going to let you free transform like this, but in this case, it's easy to make it the same size and I was just press checkmark press okay. Now, I have two of them and my background is locked. So I'm going to double click and unlock that background layer. So now I have layer one and layer two underneath on top of each other like this. So I'm going to select one of my layers, my top layer, and I'm going to create a layer mask down here.
If I click this, I get a layer mask and this is my layer mask on top of my top layer. Next, I want to pick the gradient tool. This is the gradient tool. The keyboard shortcut is G I'm going to select it, and I want it to be black and white. So up here, I want black and I want white, and this is the default setting.
So make sure you pick the default setting, NIFA, click from the left all the way to the right here, and let go. It creates that gradient for me. You see, it's just blending one to the next. Let me undo that command Z. Let me do it from top and bottom. Now, now that's more of an effect I'm looking for. I want something a lot more pronounced than this.
This is too subtle, so I'm going to command Z. So to change that. We just want to change the effect of the gradients. So I just clicked the gradient tool. This is the gradient I want, and rhino is very subtle. So I could change that by grabbing this and making most of the black and just a little bit of white.
Let's see what that does. Now. If I go from top to bottom, now it's too much. I barely see the water so I could undo that and come from top to somewhere in the middle here. And that's a lot more of the effect I'm looking for. I'm going to command Z again. Let me just make the gradient even less. Now, you see the difference between the black and the white is less.
I'll bring the silver. Let's see what that does press okay. Now, the effect is a lot more interesting is not as transparent. Let me undo that and bring it down even more. I'll bring it here. Let me bring it down all the way here. Now, it's taken away from the sun. I want to see a little bit of the sun, so I'll let go somewhere over here.
Now, you could experiment with your picture. Let me go from left to right. For example, let me go further. So you could see the type of different things you could do. You could really go at any angle and get a different effect, any which way you go. So, but this is the fact that I was going for. So again, you could go up here and make it more or less gradual and play around with a gradient to get a different feta thing. I hope this video helped you.
