Creating a Seamless Photo

To Create a seamless photo from two separate photos, we will use the generative fill and sky replacement techniques. This tutorial will guide You through the process step by step, using the provided examples as references.

Expanding the Photo

Start by expanding the first photo to the right. To do this, go to Image...Canvas Size and adjust the width to be twice the size of the Height. Click OK to Apply the changes.

Placing the Second Photo

Open the second photo and use the Move tool to drag it onto the tab of the first photo. Position it where you'd like it to be relative to the first photo and adjust its size if necessary using the Transform tool.

Making Selections using the Rectangular Marquee Tool

Open the Rectangular Marquee tool and make sure the "Add to" icon is active. Use the tool to create a selection over the first photo, leaving some room around its inside perimeter. Then, create another selection over the second photo, ensuring that some of the photo goes beyond the perimeter of the selection.

Inverting the Selection and Applying Generative Fill

Invert the selection by clicking the invert selection icon on the contextual taskbar. Now, click "generative fill" and select "generate" to apply the fill. Choose the option that best blends the photos together seamlessly.

Using the Sky Replacement Filter

While generative fill is effective for merging landscapes, using the sky replacement filter offers benefits for replacing the sky.

Converting to a Smart Object

To modify the image non-destructively, convert the visible image into a smart object. Shift-click the background to make all the layers active and click the "Convert to Smart Object" icon.

Accessing the Sky Replacement Filter

Go to Edit and select Sky Replacement to access the filter. Explore the available skies and choose the one that best suits your vision for the photo. You also have the option to import your own skies if desired.

Customizing the Sky

Once you've selected the sky, you can make adjustments to refine the look. You can shift the edge, fade the edge, and adjust the color temperature. Play around with the settings until you achieve the desired effect.

Conclusion

By utilizing generative fill and the sky replacement filter, you can seamlessly merge two photos and enhance the overall composition. Experiment with different techniques and settings to unleash your creativity and create stunning photos.
