This seems like a fairly pedestrian task but…
I have two versions of the same image in two layers. Next, I have created a threshold of one of the images and copied it into an alpha channel.
What I want to do now is use this alpha channel to selectively combine the two images/layers i.e. use highlights from one and lowlights from the other.
1. How do I turn the threshold image into a selection so I can feather the edges?
2. Opacity is at 100% for both layers/image because, I figure, the amount of resulting image content will be determined by the alpha channel, right?
Baby steps, please…
Even if I’m going about this in a wrong way please answer the above questions anyway (in addition to the correct procedure, of course).
Thanks muchly!
