how to blend two image layers together on the same slide using an
grayscale mask.
To Blend Images with Grayscale Masking
This example can be used with almost any set of images, whether they’re
complimentary or contrasting. It’s a great way to bring images together in
the same slide.
1. Create a new slide with two layers.
2. Open the Slide Options, Click on layer and go to the Layer
Settings tab.
3. Position Layer 1 largely on the left side of the slide frame.
4. Position Layer 2 largely on the right side of the slide frame,
allowing overlap with Layer 1.
By placing each layer on one side of the slide frame or the other, you have
given a bit more space for the blend to occur in the middle of the slide.
Next you must create the gradient that will act as your mask, and there’s a
great way to do it in just a few steps.
5. Select Layer 1.
6. Click on the Add (+) icon and choose Add Masking Layer > Add
Gradient from the sub-menu that appears.
7. In the Gradient window, choose Masks as the Preset and Linear
as the Type.
8. Choose the second gradient from the left.
9. Change the Angle to 360°.
10. Click on Ok.
