Unfortunately the people at work competition has finished but this was what I was going to enter (I didn't have the software on the borrowed laptop to do it whilst I was in Vancouver.) The joining together was done with MS PhotoEditor and it's not done the quality much good. Dunno how to do the joining in PhotoShop.

This is a hooker I photographed from my hotel window. She was working the car park below. There are a few more pics but this gives the idea:

Display, attract, and catch the target. Yes, she went off with him.

Thanks Lou. Now, how can I join pics together into a single image with PS?

**dullbird** · 30th May 2009, 06:10 PM

well I taught my self on PS the only way I know how is to layer them on top of each other and to play with the occupancy of each layer deleting out things you don't want in each layer with the rubber. Layer by Layer

Of course thats probably not the right way but works for me that's how I did it in the panoramic comp I won

I guess I need to buy a book on using PS.

You can put each image on a separate layer and make them about 50% transparency to align as you want then you can use a mask on each layer to remove any bits you don't want. The good thing about the mask is that you can unmask it if you realise you still need that bit.

Use the mask by clicking on the layer you want to mask then click the mask icon at the bottom of the layers window. The mask icon is the one that is a square with the circle in the middle. Once you do this a box will appear next to the thumbnail of the image of that layer. The box should be selected but if is not, click that box and then your colour selectors at the bottom of the tool bar will turn to black and white. You use the brush tool to paint on the mask (i'd be using one with a soft edge). black masks and white unmasks. You can easily switch between white and black by pressing 'x' to toggle between the two.

You might want to revert your layers back to 100% before you start with the masking so you can see what the result will be.

See how you go and if you have any troubles I'm always happy to offer assistance.
