    I’m just interested to know what technique anybody who has put forward a suggestion has used

    I’m pretty clueless in Photoshop so I had to work between photoshop and Corel to get it to work for me

    How is this done purely in Photoshop?

    Ain’t got a clue Glenn 😀

    Never really got into photoshop, have the odd dable occasionally. I’m to old to learn it now. 🙁 my son was teaching himself with online tutorials.

    It’s Corel for me.

    Probably 100 better ways to do it but this is how i go about it:

    1 – open Peters original bike picture which will become the background
    2 – open 2nd picture (compass) as another background >use the restore down tab so you can see both images > then drag & drop the 2nd image onto the bike, this will now make your 2nd image layer 1
    3 – making sure layer 1 is selected re-size to suit> then erase any overlaping areas which are not wanted> after this I just adjusted the opacity to what I thought worked.
    4 – repeated steps 2 & 3 with the mountains which then became layer 2

    I’m crap at explaining things so hope this kinda makes sense 😕

    As I have Photoshoppe 7 I think I must have used a different route to you but here’s my effort.

    I do see the compass as part of a dome in a dome job. If you catch me drift.
