Selective blending

A technique for merging elements from multiple images or layers into a single cohesive composition by selectively revealing or hiding specific parts of each source. Commonly used to enhance or correct photographs without visible seams.

Core applications:

  • Fixing imperfections (e.g., closed eyes in group photos)
  • Combining optimal elements from similar shots (e.g., best lighting, expressions)
  • Creating seamless composites from non-tripod-stabilized images

Key implementation method (photoshop):

  • Stack source images and Image alignment
  • Use Layer masks to selectively reveal desired elements from each layer
  • Blend transitions to maintain natural appearance

AI-powered advancements (Photoshop Beta):

  • Harmonize Feature: Automatically blends color, lighting, and shadow across layers

Related concepts:

  • Photo compositing
  • Image alignment
  • Non-destructive editing
