Blending in Paint Shop Pro

I’m going to first start off with these 2 pictures: (make sure you have your layer palette out – press f8 if you dont have it out)

Now, im going to start off with new document – a 550 width, and a 450 height with a white background.
Whatever size you prefer. Copy each mandy picture and then go to your blank document and press CTRL L (paste as a new layer)

now, move the pictures apart with the tool.

it should look like this after you moved them a bit aside:

Now, use the tool, and match your settings to mine:

After you’ve changed your settings, make sure you are selecting the RIGHT RASTER LAYER (picture) you should be choosing the
raster layer on the top.

After you made sure youre using the right raster layer, drag the rectangle down the page like so:

After you’ve done that, it should be parted out. Now just click delete on your keyboard and some of the green should be gone. (delete about 2 times)

You should notice the pictures have blended together. You can also blend by using the ERASER tool. Simply erase parts of the picture when you have them both over each other, use very little hardness with the brush you use for best results. (I think using selection is much easier but whatever suits you best!)

You can click here to see if you did it right, it should look similar to what I got!
