Mickey mouse collage

[Jojomojo]

Hi. 

I'm trying to do something similar to a post on here previously. A Mickey mouse collage of my family holiday photos. 

I've got my pics on but struggling to trim the edges of the pics to match the Mickey mouse shape. 

I used a Mickey mouse jpeg clear template for mine though. Any ideas please? Would really appreciate it. 

Thanks, 

Jo.

Hi @Jojomojo, could you post an actual screenshot from your screen, rather than a photo of your screen?

[Jojomojo]

Hi, Sorry about that. Please see this printscreen...

Thank you.

Ah, fantastic.

From what I can see, the Mickey Mouse layer is just a black outline on a white background, is that correct?

[Jojomojo]

That is correct. 

I do have another transparent one I could use. The one with the squares on to show they're transparent? but couldn't get that to work either. 

[Damien Symonds]

No, the black on white one is fine.

Can you move that layer to the very top of the layer pile, then change its blend mode from "Normal" to "Multiply" then show me another screenshot?

[Damien Symonds]

Perfect!  Now just below that layer add a white "Solid Color" layer, then invert its mask, then carefully paint it on over the overhanging parts of the photos.

Thank you so much.

You're a genius! 

And a gem too helping everyone like this I really do appreciate it.
