I need to create a 1024×140 image that will serve as the header for my website. The image will be a collage of several images wherein the constituent images will overlap at their edges and appear to be transitioning smoothly. Is there a free PSD template that I can download and replace my own images to arrive at my target image? I know the technique that is used to achieve this in Photoshop. However, if it is so common, a designer should be spared from re- inventing the wheel. That is the reason, I imagine somebody must have created a template in which all a designer has to do is replace the existing images with his own. This would save him he effort of creating layers and masks.

Thanks,
Yash

What designer would stoop so low? He’d likely have clients that are so chintzy that they would already have ever cheap plug-in on the market and do it themselves.

how will this template know what to cut and what to keep from any random picture>?

computers are not artists they are tools for artists
expensive paint brushes cannot make a nice painting in unskilled hands

….That’s actually a nice header. I’m just surprised that:

a) There’s not more purple in it, considering Selena’s costume.

b) You didn’t incorporate a cat scratch somewhere in there!

….But on the other hand, I can sort of see what he’s asking for. If I had, say, two hundred head shots – like the ones we used to *HATE* posing for in elementary school, because mom would always dress us up "nice" – and you wanted to periodically rotate, swap, and randomly select which heads get displayed, and say the edges of each had a slight gradient mask so there wasn’t a hard edge, then some sort of layered PSD with a script to…no, wait – scripting doesn’t have a random number function, does it?

….There’s a couple of chimps who’d probably take issue with that one 🙂

Thanks for the compliment

I have lots of KW banners collected from years of forum chats about FPS gaming
I learn stuff I would not normally have to use as I mostly retouch faces pretty much straight up photo work

the cat scratch comes in the slogan I use below the image~!
