Basic Blending for PhotoPlus

A couple of people have asked for a very basic tutorial to use with the free program PhotoPlus.  They weren't LJers (at least that I know of), but I figured this was as good of a place as any to put it so I can link to it.

Ok, first, I recommend that you take the tutorial that comes with the program, as it helps a lot. Also read as much of the "Help" stuff as you can (most importantly “An overview on key concepts”, which you can get to from the main help screen by clicking “How to…”  then “Get Started with PhotoPlus”).

However, the help isn’t going to teach you specific techniques. For example, it’ll teach you how to do all the individual steps you need to do to make a blend, but it won’t teach you how to put those steps together to actually blend. So this is where experimentation comes in, as well as finding tutorials.

In the following tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to do a simple blend. It’s really detailed, so hopefully it makes sense!
