Hi all,
I've been seeing a design within web sites lately that uses what seem like many photo shapes next to each other to make a whole photo like this page, at the top -->http://www.russellbrown.com/ADIMVI/main.html I would love to know how to easily do with from within photoshop.. I was thinking of trying to just make transparent boxes, but it isn't turning out too well..

HI.
It looks to me as though that`s 5 photos laid over one another with drop shadows.

~shrugs~

Maybe this will help ?

Shacky .. firstly, welcome ... had a look at that site ... I have put a pic below which gives the same results, using Photoshop, you were looking for ... to get the result below I copied the background (original image) several times (switch off the 'eyes' on all but the layer you want to work on) ... on each of these 'layers' I used the rectangular Marque tool to select the part of the image I wanted .. then select, inverse, delete ... now I have only the part of the pic I want in that layer ... now go to edit, stroke (I used six pixels) and you have a colour border around your pic .... now turn on the 'eye' of your next layer and repeat the process ..... and repeat on each layer til finished .... any probs just post here 'cos there's heaps of help at this board ... [righton]

... sorry db didn't see your post .. you must have done it while I was compiling my reply ... btw, I never did manage to get Dubya's border method quite right .. but I learned alot from that thread .. 'twas good to see it again :}
Shacky .. one other thing .. move the layers up and down (in the layers pallette) 'til you have the images siting on top of another .. refer pic below

Hey ive pasted a couple panoramas together and have been meaning to do a mini-tute on how to do it. I'll keep you posted. We talked about this a little in this post: http://www.photoshopgurus.info/forum...ic.php?t=3151& ,which has 2 examples of a panoramic stitch, and also a link to a site dedicated solely to panoramas.
Cheers!

Welcome aboard shacky!

That's a cool effect B7 and Ian (namvet) you did a great job explaining it! [righton]

Here's a tutorial for this "joiner effect" http://www.digital-creativity.org.uk...torial_23.html that might be of some help to you too, shacky!

That would be great tranquil222!

Hey ill tell you how i do them some time tonight...its pretty easy. What kind of images are you working with? It is a lot harder to do it with images with a lot of straight lines, but with scenic pictures, its a breeze. Ill keep up(as cimmic would say)

Okie,
I am trying namvet's way and after I detele the inverse selection, add the border and select the second layer to work with, I can't delete anything.. would photoshop want me to do something else w/the first layer before moving on? hmm..

lol tranquil,
I'm working (at the moment) with my new car's pics... I've got a nifty new saturn ION quad coupe, and am making an attempt at this for my web site
