If you have a large picture like the one you have and want to add a bunch of small ones you can also blend it in with masks set at dif. opacity.
On the added picture layer simply click on the add vector mask..(square with a circle in it) at the bottom of the layer pallet.
Then with the brush set to black with a 50% or less opacity you blend in everything you do not want to see..you can do it very fast.
Then once its blended in well you set the brush to white and 100% opacity and paint in what ever you erased by mistake.
On a vector mask: Black erases, white puts back.
The beauty of doing this is that if later you don't like something..erased to much you simply paint it back in.

it seems to me that doing it the vector mask way would basically b the same as just quick masking out what u want and then just copy and paste? am i correct? thx

Well kind of yeah...the thing is that if you mask it out, then you are talking surgery..this is more of a bang up blend the background in a little, then clean up the important part of the image with 100% white...

See that still looks ugly to me because there is no consistency in the image. The shapes are all just sort of random. I would try to give each image I am blending in a shape rather than just leaving it as the blended blob.

True..Tristan Gray your right...The thing is that the diff. shades of green on grass would actually look better if they had a particular shape instead of a blend..but in trying to work with the blend idea...Oh well. If it was all darks like the original collage the blend works better.
Can you use the image at hand to show other possibilities?
