Process:With this one I started with my pictures that were adjusted in the camera raw function. I chose the template that would work for placement value, turned off all layers except for the photo frames. Placed my photos knowing that I would use one of them to blend into the background. Placed solid paper 1 and Papier 4 above that. I moved papier 4 towards the left a
quarter of the way and used the gradient brush to soften the edge, this allowed the solid paper to show through. I masked one of the photos and blended it into the background with soft light. I chose that photo because it was a bit blurry, but still wanted to use it for the facial expression. for the rest of the layout I turned on some of the template layers, recolored some of them and then finished off with my title, journaling and element placement.
