I have an image (Image 1) taken along the side of an old stone building. The building has ins and outs where windows and doors are located.

I now want to blend/mould a second image (Image 2) so that Image2 moulds into or wraps within the curves and corners of Image 1. As if Image 2 has been physically adhered or painted to the shape of Image1.

regards

The quick version, Peter,

Open Image 1. Make a Selection(s) around the areas, which you want Image 2 to appear. Save Selection(s). Open Image 2, and make a Selection of the area of it, which you wish to place into Image 1. Ctrl-c (Copy), which will bring this image part into a separate Layer, then switch to Image 1. Crtl-v (Paste) your copied image. Size, Transform, etc. to meet your needs. Load the desired Selection for this area, and Save Selection as Layer Mask. If your added image doesn’t line up exactly where you want it, then click on the little link icon between the Layer, and its Layer Mask, to unlink them, and use the Move tool, to move the added image exactly where you want it. Re-link the Layer and its Mask. If necessary, click on the Layer Mask (check in Channels Palette, that you have it active), and Paint in any additional masking, or hit "X" to change to "erase" and Paint out any excess mask.

Lastly, you might want to look at Blending Mode options, or Opacity, to make the inserted image, blend more closely with the underlying image.

Remember, that was the quick version, but will get you started.

This is not trivial. Try and find a tutorial on the use of displacement maps. This may help you further
