Multiple Exposure

What I'm planning on doing is taking a few pictures of the wildflowers around the yard and I want to merge them as one picture and play around with the image and maybe make it look like a watercolour or something, I'm not completely sure yet.

In photoshop how do I work with the opacity so that they all show up the same amount. Do I just divide 100/x (number of pictures I'm using)? If I set each to 100 then only the layer on top will be visible.

Shane, look up masks in photoshop help. Alternatively you can selectively cut and paste from one image to another.

Thanks Brice,
I'll go through the help section when I get home from work.

Sounds like at one time you worked in film. PS is a totally different beast and much of what you learned in film has o go away. The best way to get into PS is to walk through some of the tutorials you find online. As you work the tutorials you pick up tips and techniques that you can apply to other images. This site has tons of samples along with a tutorial on how it was created. Great for ideas as well.

There is so much online help for photoshop that anyone should be able to accomplish just about anything that they want to do. It is a matter of practice. Photoshop is not the kind of program where you are going to watch a tutorial and try it yourself and have it come out perfect. The old adage practice makes perfect is certainly appropriate here.

Masking and blend modes will help you accomplish what you want to do.

You're right there are tons of tutorials on the net. But often the problem I find is that I know what I'd like to do but am not sure the photoshop terminology in order to look up a tutorial for it!

Try looking into layers and blending modes.
