There are many ways of making selections, for the case you sketched the polygonal lasso would work fine.Īdd a layer mask with Layers -> Add Layer Mask -> Reveal selection. Make a selection of the area you want to keep.

Free transform (Ctrl + T, if my memory serves me right) Scale the layer to the size you like, with e.g. Click the eye-ball in the layer palette to hide/show a layer, shift-click (I think) to hide all but the one you clicked. If you have many images, hiding all but one would make the job easier. I think you can do this easily with File -> Scripts -> Load into stack, if not you can open the images and drag-and-drop. Put the images you wish to include in the collage as separate layers in the document. Start by creating a new document of a suitable size for the collage. I don't have Photoshop so I can't post screenshots or accurate descriptions.

Again done only with the fabulous Irfanview free download from here.

Rotated corner is achieved by copy / rotate whole picture / paste. Resolution is suffering as I started with a tiny image and the rotates make a bigger canvas which then gets cropped back. Get an editor that can move arbitrary shaped blocks. If you want these at highest resolution, take photos covering desired part and mask as required and combine. Top left block may get in the way around step 1 & 2 and need to be moved further away and then brought back last.

The following, which claims NO artistic merit at all, was done in a few minutes with Irfanview using only whole picture rotates plus rectangular cut and paste at a new locationĠ Get top left corner block out of the way. If only a rectangular selection tool is available, you can rotate the picture so that the desired diagonals become vertical or horizontal, do a rectangular cut and paste or f=drag and then rotate the picture back "Square" or to the next diagonal. If possible, use a tool that allows random selection and cut and drag. eg the answer "cut an image into two pieces diagonally" is probably not going to help :-).Īssuming it IS just the diagonal cutting that you are asking about. The requirement seems straight forward so it is likely that your point has not been understood. It is not obvious what you want information about. This technique will also work for more than 2 pictures (you just use more layers and delete the same parts of each picture) and for different designs (use the "free select" or any other selection tool to draw whatever shape you want, then make that transparent). The more time you spend framing the photo (before you take it), calculating pixel locations, and so on, the better the output will be (for example, this photo ends up with that ugly empty spot in the top-left corner). Now, just save (GIMP will prompt you to export the photo because JPEGs don't support layers) and you're done: Now I select the Move tool, and move the hawk picture around until the hawk is where I want it:

The hawk layer is on top, so I move it down by clicking the "lower this layer" down arrow.Īfter that, the hawk appears "behind" the bison.

I go to Windows | Dockable Dialogs | Layers to bring up the Layers tool (you can also press control-L). The hawk photo is the only thing visible, so I need to lower its layer. The easy way, now, is to open the hawk photo as a layer, and move it into position. I select Layer | Transparency | Add Alpha Channel, so I can make that top-right section transparent, then I press the Delete key to delete the selection I just made. I use the "free select" tool, click at the top-left, then the bottom-right, then draw the rest of the selection around the top-right of the picture: I'll start by cropping the picture to put him in the lower-left of the frame (cropping out about the left third and the bottom quarter of the image), and then I'll delete the top-right of the picture. I'll demonstrate with these two photos of a hawk and a bison:
