How to blend in several feathered layers together?

How do you blend in several layers together? I've tried blending in several feathered layers (in order to make it as one layer), however, whenever I pasted over the layer, the hard edges appeared?! How can fix this problem?

Sorry, you need to be a bit more specific..... hmm...

Some more details would be helpfil (IE the images too)

One tip i learned is to copy one of the layers, BLUR it and change the layer mode to, say, screen (results may differ) and delete most of the blurry layer expect for the places you want the transation from image to image to be a bit smoother. Might want to change the opacity too

Feel the power of the BLUR

If you look at the samples at the below links. I would like to know how to have 2 pictures blend in together without showing the hard edge lines. And also have the fading effect.

Or even have like fading colours blending in with the background like some of the samples I've placed on the net. Thanks. Hope that's clear enough.

Your asking about two techniques? Montaging many pictures so they blend seamlessly AND fading edges.

Can't see your original image but have had a look at samples.

Both use the same technique, in a different way. The key thing to learn are "layer masks". They allow you to show/hide parts of images with varying degrees of opacity, thus allowing images on a lower layer to show through. So how to do it. . .

Put two images onto two separate layers. Say you wanna blend image 2 into image 1. Have a look at the layers palette and there'll be a white circle with a dashed border. When you move the mouse over it, the hint should say something like "add layer mask." Click it.

Your second layer should have a layer mask thumbnail linked to it. Now when you paint with BLACK (on the laer mask), it hides the parts of the layer that the mask is on. When you paint with WHITE it shows parts of the layer the mask is one. Using different shades of grey gives you opacity control within the mask.

If you use a very large brush, say 100 point, that has faded edges, you can "blend" the edges of your image through this mask. Simply apply black dabs of paint on the edges of your image and see how it fades away. Do the same with layer 1 so that both layers blend into each other.

To do the fading effect. Do the same as mentioned for blending, but INSTEAD of using a brush, use the gradient tool to apply a linear gradient (using BLACK and WHITE). You'll now notice that it fades in or out depending on whether BLACK is background or foreground colour.

Use marquee for precise selection when applying gradients.

Does this help? Is this the type of result you are looking for?
