Tutorial 2: E-WallPaper Process

Second phase, we are going to do layering on the image, this step is kinda simple because we just need to separate each image to a different layers.

Why do we need to do this layering?

Actually this step is very important so you can separate each image and edit it anytime easily without having it mix out in the same layer, which will avoiding you from cropping it over and over again when you are going to edit it. Do not forget to rename it so you won't be confuse on which layer it is.

Next

Mix your selected images and the cropped images, mix it as you like it.

At this step I used pen tools to sharpen the rough edges of the FOM building, as the picture shown above^

And then I choose this picture as my poster background:

And mix it into a different layer with the previous FOM building image.

And here is the result:

Again, I attached another images to the poster to make it more interesting and to look like more like a real poster as below:

Last but not least, as I stated before, the important thing is also to put name on every layers:

Tutorial 1: E-WallPaper process

First of all, open your Photoshop application.

Open a new file and you will see this:

Choose an international paper size A4 and name it as you want as the project name.

This blank layer will appear as your background:

Open the pictures you would like to use and edit using the file-open-choose image file-ok.
Your pictures will appear in a different tabs.

If you want to use selecting tools as a cropper, you can use magic wand or quick selection tool, because it is easy to use and save time. Just press 'w' and then select the things you want to select before you crop, and blinking dash will appear as follow:

Then you can just drag the image into your blank paper, the edges of cropping might still look bad, but ofcourse you can still edit the rough edges using any other tools such as eraser, or maybe you can use the magic wand at the start with a more careful process by using zoom-in and zoom-out process so you can select it in more detail view.

Do this repeatedly through your selected image that you already opened.

So here are the basic images I used to create my e-wallpaper project:
