Does Photo Shop have one program for this, turning 2 pictures into 1, turning a picture into black and white. Because, I am interested in doing alot to a photo but there are alot of programs to purchase. I loved the article and yes it is very helpful. I give you 10 stars. Merry Christmas -

Thanks, yes it was relatively easy... I've done before but played with more layers. I tried it your way, though I still found I prefer to adjust the transparency of at least one of the layers so that I come out with exactly what I think I should.
