Assignment #4 - Exploring the Apply Image Feature (and True Love!)

Awww!  Texas Sunset and True Love!  What a "blend"!

Blending Images using the Apply Image Technique:

1.  Pick your two images, making sure they are the same size both in resolution and dimension  My images were not the same dimension so I had to place the image of Gerry and me on a new "board" that was the same dimension as the sunset photograph.

 2.  I erased the background Gerry and I were in so it would not interrupt the sunset image.

2.  Select your Target (main) image.

3.  Duplicate the background (Command J).
4.  Select Image from the tool bar then Apply Image (this command may be hidden so go to Show All Menu Items and click on that...)

VOILA!

Before starting to work with it, you need to understand these important rules about using this tool:

1. Both images that you will blend together must be open, and they must be of the same size (BOTH IN RESOLUTION AND IN ACTUAL MEASUREMENT.
2. The Add blend mode will lighten the resulting image. If the result is too light, you can set a negative offset value to darken the image.
3. The Subtract blend mode will darken the resulting image. It also has an Offset setting, and you can lighten the result by using a positive offset value.
4. Blending of images that use different color modes, such as RGB with LAB or grayscale, which is not possible with any other command.
