How to Integrate Photos in Photoshop

Use a computer

Open the first photo. To open a photo, you'll click File , select Open , then double-click the photo file.

To create a new file, you'll press Ctrl+ N(Windows) or ⌘ Cmd+ N(Mac), name the file, then click OK .

Click the New Layer icon. This icon is in the lower right corner of the Layers panel. It looks like a square piece of paper with one corner turned up. This will create a new layer for you to open the second photo.

Open the second photo. You will click File > Open (File > Open) then double click on the image file you want to open.

Drag, drop, resize and crop photos. You can use the mouse to move the second photo above the first photo as desired.

Click the drop-down box showing "Normal" and change it to "Screen" and change the Opacity to adjust the combination of the two photo layers together.

You can make other edits in the Layer Panel.

Save the image file. You will go to File > Save/Export (File > Save/Export). When saving an image, the file will be saved with the .psd extension; Click Export to convert the file from .psd to .jpg or .png.

Use Photoshop Mix

Open Adobe Photoshop Mix. This application has an icon like two nested circles, usually displayed on the home screen, in the application tray or you can find it with a search engine.

If you don't have the Adobe Photoshop Mix app, you can download it for free from the Google Play Store (Android) or App store (iOS).

The Photoshop Express app (the regular Photoshop app for mobile devices) only supports editing one photo at a time. You can make edits by selecting 'Open' from the 'File' tab. However, Photoshop Mix requires you to purchase an Adobe Suite license to use it. You can try this app for free for 7 days.
