In the photo above I used the Overlay blending mode but you can get great results with\u00a0many others too.\u00a0Just try them all and see what works.<\/p>\n<p>After resizing (CTRL+T) your photo to fit as best you can, I&#8217;d suggest making a quick and rough rectangular\u00a0selection of the puzzle and masking or erasing and excess photo away.<\/p>\n<p>As always, if you create a photo using the Friday Freebie then let me (and everyone else) know by leaving the link in the comments below.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Usage rules<\/span><br \/>\n<\/strong>The image is copyright Gavin Hoey 2014.
