Ink Splatter Image
Directions
Combine two or three images together inside an image of an ink splattered on paper. Black and white photos only work but color images can be used. Play with scale and textures in developing your image. Masking away parts you don't want visible, and using the Layer Blend Modes of Lighten, Screen, Overlay, and others are good ways to blend away the edges of your images into the ink splattered edges. You must use at least one of your portraits in the final piece.

Step 2
When you have added multiple ink splatters images change the Layer blending mode to Multiply.
Each layer can be adjusted and moved still to change the way they look together.
