I would like to assemble these 4 photographs in only one. But I do not manage to have an identical bottom everywhere.

Could somebody help me and to explain me how can one make with photoshop?

Thank you

You are referring to ‘background’ where you write ‘bottom’ I think? You could ‘stitch’ the images together and make the boudaries smooth, if that is what you mean. It is not Photoshop however…

Hi Alex and Paul,
I feel that Paul meant making a composite, montage, merge, or collage. A simple select and move and clean up exercise in Photoshop. I posted my rendition here:

Hello Granny,

You may be right: the image you put up is appealing!
How exactly do you do a ‘clean up’ in Photoshop?

Hello Granny,

How exactly do you do a ‘clean up’ in Photoshop?

Greetings, Alex

By "clean up" I mean to fix the edges after the selections and moves then looking at the entire picture and removing or fixing anything else that needs attention and might distract from the aesthetic quality of the picture.

Hm, I still don’t see how you can get the background colored so evenly without affecting the insects themselves…

The procedure to do this picture:
using the eyedropper tool selected an area of the background on the original next to the body and wings of a dragonfly– I created a new canvas sized at 15X20 at the same resolution as the originals– with the new canvas selected I filled the area by holding down the Alt key on keyboard and pressing the Delete key– Back to the original at a high magnification I used the magnetic lasso at feather 3px, width 3px, edge contrast 5% and selected a dragonfly– then using the move tool on the dragonfly just selected I moved it to the new canvas and positioned it where I wanted it– repeat for the remaining objects I wanted to move.. The cleanup process consisted of using the eraser tool with a soft brush at a high magnification at 30% opacity adjusting the size of the eraser with the [ ] keys ( [=(smaller) and ]=(larger)) on the keyboard next to the body, wings and legs where needed and using the clone stamp tool to repair the legs on the dragonfly where the stick was removed.. finished by selecting all on the new canvas then clicking the little black and white squares under the color boxes to select black as the color choice then to the top menu to edit, stroke at 50px to make the black border.. FINI.. I am sure there are many different ways in Photoshop to do the same thing (masks, etc.).. but this is how I did it.. Hope this helps…

Thank you: it certainly helps.!

What a pity that PS is capable of so much, not even 5% I know how to do 🙂 Every example, like yours above, helps me a little further on the way. I only I could live long enough…
