How do you blend multiple photos in Photoshop?

I want combine 3-5 photos together (none HDR).

cyKey did it for his entry in Season Five : Round Three - "Work" theme.

I searched the web and mostly blending/combing is related to HDR.

thanks.

To create images such as cyKey's shot (which for those that didn't see it, had two cyKey's in it!), you'll need to shoot using a tripod/steady surface, with exposures that are as near as possible identical.

Then, you can paste one image over the other (ie two layers in PS). Clever use of layer masks will then reveal parts of one image over the other. Hard to describe, so check out this tutorial to see how layer masks work

Yeah i just overlayed the 3 images and erased the areas that I didn't want to reveal myself. Simple

Try this program AutoStitcher. Just select your photos and it will automatically create the panorama.

Oops my mistake

That'll teach me to skim threads!
