A different way of digitising images is to create what is called a montage.

Have a look at the example and the steps:

1/. Find the background that you want to display the montage:

2/. Select the montage 'object':

3/. Using Photoshop (as shown) remove the background:

4/. Copy the background onto the original image and repeat as required:

5/. Above is the final product.

The steps required to to make the montage are:

From the above:

1/. Using a 1280px wide image.

2/. On the Internet find a suitable subject photo for your montage and resize it to about half the main image. This will depend a lot on how you want to scale your image.

3/. In Photoshop create a new transparent image the same size as the 'over the top image'.

4/. Copy the over the top image onto the transparent image.

5/. Start removing the unwanted background by either:

Using the rectangular marquee tool.

The eraser.

The quick selection tool.

The magic wand tool.

The magnetic or polygonal lasso tools.

Or the Layers Masking option.

6/. Clean up the image with the eraser tool.

7/. Check the image sizing is good to the background.

8/. Then copy/paste the 'over the top' image, place it and repeat as necessary.

9/. If you need to modify the image further, delete the layer it is on and then copy/paste again.

10/. Save the finished image as a .jpg and you are done.
