How to Edit Photos Into a Background/poster Using Photopea

In this short example we will be using Photopea to edit together a background using assets from Destiny, and Destiny 2.

Photopea (Free to use)

Free Time!

You can search around the web to find examples you want to edit or perhaps you already have one to edit.

You can paste them in using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V or you can go into the top right menu labeled "File" and click Open... and it will allow you to add pictures directly from you folders.

In this step you will have to crop out the parts of the pictures using the various tool that Photopea has.

These tools that you can use include the lasso select tool, the rectangle select tool, the circle select tool, and the crop tool. The way you use these can vary. for example you can use the lasso select tool to outline what you want to keep, then move it away from the rest of the picture, then cut out the rest of the picture. or maybe you can outline what you want to keep but select the background/what you want to cut out, then just simply use Ctrl+X.

This is a simple step and you only need a few tools for the job. The various selecting tools, and the Move tool should be sufficient.

all you need to do is move everything where you want it to be. I moved the 3 pictures I'm putting into 3 separate spaces That I made with simple black boxes that I made smaller using the "Scale" tool (Scaling can be done by selecting what you want to scale and going into "edit" at the top right, scrolling over transform, and selecting "scale").

to fill in all the empty space you may have left in you picture you will need to find another picture you can use to substitute in. or you may just need to fill in a few blank spots.

To fill in the massive spots I had in my picture I got 3 pictures of the different class symbols and added them to the background. I next added a grey and sort of grainy picture in behind everything to fill the rest of the white space.

Now if you only have a few white spaces there is a few things you can do. You can use the clone tool to select a piece of your current picture to clone over the white space. you can use Things that are similar to what is next to it (think sand, grass, blue sky, or wall) or you can use the spot healing brush which will try and guess what it looks like next to the current picture.

You can add filters to your final product.

The filter option is in the top toolbar near the edit and select menus. Once you click this option it will give you a list of filters that photopea has in its library, you can select of of these filters and it will apply the filter in photopea.

That's it! you just scrounged up a poster/background using the Free tool Photopea
