In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we're going to learn how to create a collage of "warped" photos. Now, don't go letting your imagination run wild here. When I say "warped", I don't mean "sick, twisted and shocking", unless of course those are the types of photos you want to use. What I'm talking about is photos that we'll be bending, curling, distorting and reshaping using Photoshop's Warp Tool.
In this Adobe Photoshop tutorial, we're going to learn how to take a single photograph and turn it into a collage of polaroids, with each polaroid containing a small section of the overall image. You can use this effect with lots of different types of images, whether it's a photo of one person or several people. It's great for photos of family or friends, vacation photos, or even as a creative effect for wedding photography.
We need to add a new blank layer between the two layers we currently have in the Layers palette. To do that, with "Layer 1" selected, hold down the Ctrl (Win) / Command (Mac) key on your keyboard and click on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers palette. Normally Photoshop adds the new layer above the currently selected layer, but by holding down Ctrl/Command, this tells Photoshop to add the new layer below it instead:

Tutorials on creating metal type abound online, as do variations on simple liquid effects. Most are fairly short, offering a good foundation for the reader on how certain effects are achieved but fail to take that extra step (or few steps) to make the piece really shine. Once you have an idea of how different techniques fit together in a piece, it is fairly easy to combine, say, the process to create metal and the process to create liquid to create something that exists in both sides of the FX map.
We have chosen these two photos to create a photo collage: a photo of a poplar against the autumn sky and a photo of a charming girl.
We will create a simple collage of 3 photographs named photo1, photo2, photo3 in here, but you can add as many photos as you want. A collage is made of a minimum of 2 photographs.

Next you want to get an image that you would like to make look like its made with the collage. I chose another image again from comstock. Here is the image I am going to use:
Now that our first photo is in front of the background inside the document we'll be using for our collage, we can move and resize it as needed. To do that, press Ctrl+T (Win) / Command+T (Mac) to once again bring up the Free Transform box and handles around this image. To move the photo with Free Transform, simply click anywhere inside the photo (except for on the small target icon in the center) and drag the image into position with your mouse. To resize the image, hold down Shift and drag any of the corner handles. Holding down Shift as you drag constrains the the width and height proportions of the image, maintaining its original shape. To resize the image from its center, hold down Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) as you drag (you can hold Shift as well to constrain the proportions and resize from the center at the same time). You can also rotate the image if you want by moving your mouse cursor just outside the Free Transform box and then clicking and dragging your mouse.

In this Photoshop tutorial, we're going to learn how to blend photos together like a Hollywood movie poster. Blending photos is easy to do in Photoshop thanks to layer masks, yet finding two photos with similar colors isn't always so easy, and you end up with a photo effect that doesn't really seem to look right because the colors don't match.
Collage Of Polaroids From A Single Photo - Steve Patterson Take a single photograph and turn it into a collage of polaroids, with each polaroid containing a small section of the overall image.
In photoshop I like to check the 'auto-select' box for the move tool at this stage as that way I can just press a layer and move it around. When I'm not doing that I'll right click in the move tool over the image and pick from the drop down. I tend to use the layer palette as little as possible and rarely name layers. When I start to get a couple hundred layers with 8 or 9 overlapping any given part of the image I'll name a few of the key layers. Before that, I find it's just a waste of time only needed by the neat freaks of the world

Load up the image. Make sure there is a layer below the image filled with white.
Pop open two images and position the document windows so that you can see both of them along with your Layers palette. From the Layers palette, click-and-drag one image into the other window, as shown below. When you see the inside of the target window highlight slightly (you can barely see it below), release the mouse. Since the speedometer layer is at the top of the layers stack (circled in red below), that's the image I see. The image of the bike is being covered by the speedometer. You can rearrange the order of items in the Layers palette by clicking-and-dragging them upward or downward. In the screenshot below, I've dragged the bike layer to the top of the layers stack which makes it visible. Now the bike is covering the speedometer layer.
