how to make web banner

Use of erase tool, zoom tool


Take your canvas size as 1024pixels X150 pixels

Open several Images and Take one image to the canvas

Set your second image too like in the previous step

Set the position of the second layer overlapping some part of the layer 1

You will get a canvas like this









Select the layer which overlap the first one

Add a mask to the layer by using the “add layer mask “ button at the end of the pallet












make sure layer mask thumbnail is selected

check whether your foreground color is white and take larger brush size for your brush

erase overlapping part of the layer
