I had collected some pictures from Sinai to show you its beauty that comes from its nature .I designed photo shop picture to collect some picture on a blue background to resemble the pure blue color of its sea ,and white dots to resemble the falling snow in winter.I had been there long time ago and I could not forget it ,and its nice palm beach in El-Arish with the golden sand and blue water and clear sky .
HOW TO COLLECT THAT PICTURES TOGETHER ?
- Fill the layer with the color you like[ Edit -Fill] and add layer style to it [ Style Panel].The trick in this design is the using of the layer style blending mode ,from the Layer Panel adjust it as shown in the picture.
- Add the pictures one by one [File -Place]. Put each picture in separate layer .Use the Free Transform Tool to adjust it .
- Apply layer style if you like .
- Save your work.
