Introduction

This is the final result of this episode, two different mountain photos, The lake reflection on the left and the mirror lake on the right blend smoothly as one panoramic view. The key is just one gradient tool drag on the layer mask. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Photoshop series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Today we are combining two photos using a gradient mask. Unlike a brush, gradients in masks produce a truly flat and smooth transition, ideal for combining skies, panoramas, or two different atmospheres.

Step 1: Two photos in one document

Open the fjorg Norway photo. Then select file, place embedded, and choose the mirror lake photo. The second photo enters as a layer on top and covers the entire image. Press enter to accept the placement.

Step 2: White layer mask

With the lake layer selected, click the mask icon below the layers panel. A white mask means the entire lake photo is still visible. We will adjust this gradient mask.

Step 3: Gradient Tool on the mask

Select the gradient tool. Press the black and white color, and select the linear style. Make sure the thumbnail mask is active. Drag a line from the left third to the right third of the photo. The left side of the mask turns black so that the fjorg appears. The right side is white so the lake remains visible.

Step 4: Adjusting transition width

The length of the drag determines the width of the transition. Short strokes create quick movement. Long exposure creates a smooth blend. Draw the stroke a bit longer until the connection is no longer noticeable.

Step 5: Matching colors

The two photos have different atmospheres. Fjorg is warmer. The lake is colder. Add Color Balance at the top and slightly shift midtones towards blue. So the entire panorama feels like one weather condition. Compare by disabling the mask with a shift-click on the mask thumbnail.

Step 6: Saving

Save PSD and export JPG.

Done!

Done. We have already placed the second photo. Create a layer mask, draw a black and white gradient on the mask, adjust the transition width, and match the colors. In the next episode, we'll insert photos into text and shapes using clipping masks. Need to edit product photos for marketplace, retouch photos, design posters, or social media content?
