You forgot to click on the ‘attach image’ button to include the example image.
I can see the image just fine.
Whoops! All of a sudden they appeared. Loading time delay?
So can anyone fill me in on how I can do this?
just a long strip wih some feathering between the pix to make a smooth transition.
Nevermind, I figured out how to do it.
"So can anyone fill me in on how I can do this?"
Many ways – basically add up the widths of the images you’re using and create a new doc (or use the first image) and go Image>Canvas size and punch in the sum of the widths.
Then copy paste the images into that canvas, move them so they somewhat align and use a mask on each new layer to blend – brushing out with a low opacity brush for the transition (or as dave suggests, when you do the select all>copy>paste routine – do a feather after the select all part).
So I Marquee a section where the image within Layer 2 overlaps Layer 1 and then feather it? Where do I find the feather feature? You don’t happen to mean the feather feature that’s located under Select –> Feather do you?
It is there, and on the option bar. Note that you will also want to use Select, invert so that when you hit the delete key, you will delete the area around the pix. Also, select a smaller portion of the image, by the amount of the feathering (roughly). So if your feather is 20 pixels, make your selection 20 pixels smaller than the image, so there is something to feather.

Brandon,
What I meant was when you go to copy/paste the 2nd, 3rd, etc. images, you can Select>Select All and then Select>Feather, before copy/paste. No use of the marquee necessary.
Dang guys, I feel so stupid. The truth is I’m pretty new to Photoshop but I’ve used Illustrator for about 2 years now. Can you guys walk me through this like I’m a 3 year old?
I just played around with it for about 10 min and I think I’ve figured it out. I guess it’s just a matter of trial and error.
My apologies Brandon – I had Adblock employed in Firefox browser and a poorly constructed filter file blocked the image from your web site.
Consider the many tutorials that you can find online after googling ‘photoshop layer mask’. This <

Wow, that’s a great tutorial site! Got anymore recommendations?
