Fading a Photo into a background in coreldraw11 with no outline from original photo

Hi,

Can anyone help please, I am working in CorelDraw 11 and i have photograph that I need to fade (i have already done this using the transparency tool) and then i need it to blend into a coloured background so that it look as if it is all 1 image. i need the definite edges of the photo to "vanish" - Can anyone help please?

Thank you :)

  • Hi ShellEye,

    The usual way is to use layers (objects) and layer masks (clip masks) in Photopaint.

    1. Place each photo on a separate layer.

    2.  Create layer mask for each photo

    3.  Paint on the mask with black to gray to white.  Better yet, use the Interactive Gradient tool.

    4.  Where the mask is white, the layer next to the layer mask shows.  Where it is black, the layers beneath show through.  Where it is gray, the effect is translucent.

    Here's an example.
