Montage and selection tools

In photoshop we can create montage pictures by blending 2 or more photos together, under the same theme. For example here for practice I just created one about Senna and Mclaren the biggest names in f1 racing history.

First I used the selection tools. To select a rectangular object you just simply select the rectangular marque tool and just crop where I want to apply. I selected the whole picture by pressing the Ctrl+A buttons and selected the whole picture. Pressed Ctrl+C to copy it.

Pressed Ctrl+V to paste the image what I use as a layer now. Ctrl+T for free transforming the layer. Also don't forget to use the 'maintain aspect ratio' button on the top, to keep the correct ratio while we transforming the image.

With the brush tool just soften the edges. Used a round shaped brush. Around 50% flow to not make it too harsh.

I have done the same with Senna's face, select all by pressing Ctrl+A cut it and paste it by pressing Ctrl+C; Ctrl+V on the main image. It will look like something like that.

Free transform with Ctrl+T and blend it into the picture with the soften edge brush.
