teecee Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 For this week's Newsletter Challenge we would like you to create a layout with one or more photos blended into your background paper. You may use any method you would like. If you need some help, here are links to two tutorials which explain different blending methods: Blend Your Photos Into Your Background Using the Gradient Tool What Are Blending Modes? Please be sure to upload your completed pages to the Weekly Newsletter Challenge gallery and post a link in this thread. Feel free to explain what blending method you used and what you enjoy about blending photos.Have fun and I’ll be looking forward to seeing your great layouts!

lorac Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I finally finished my layout using photo masks to blend my photos into the background. It took me forever to figure it out. I tried using the gradient tool, but it didn't work for me. I tried blending modes, but I didn't like the way it came out. So I tried using photo masks and that came out great.
