Making a Photo Collage

Pixi

One of the most common uses of layers in Adobe Photoshop is to combine multiple images in a single document. In its simplest form, this is just adding related photos to a new file so each picture is visible. Having the individual images on separate layers allows you to rearrange them on the page easily and apply a correction to one but not the others. In this example, I made the bottom right photo a sepia tint to hide the red Christmas tree skirt the cat is sitting on. This change prevents the red from drawing the viewer's eye away from the other shots.
