I really enjoy creating unique images for my blog posts. If you have noticed, I often create a mashup of different ages.
It is time consuming and sometimes even exhausting. But when I have created unique images for my blog posts, I feel good.
Of course, to be able to create unique images for my blog posts sometimes I have to use multiple image editing tools because I haven’t acquired mastery over one particular tool.
For example, I have been doing basic image editing in Photoshop for many years, but still, I haven’t learned its advanced features.
Nonetheless, it is a great tool for creating the sort of image mashups that I have been creating. For example, if I want to extract a portion of an image I have taken from the Internet, I can do that with Photoshop. I can also remove the background. Creating images with transparent backgrounds is also quite easy with Photoshop.
Along with Photoshop I also use PhotoScape to create additional effects. There is another image editing tool from Wondershare that I have been using.
The benefit of creating an image mashup is that you can create highly unique images for your blog posts without someone blaming you of stealing his or her images.
Not all of us have advanced hardware and software to create awesome images. Also, extensive training is required to be able to create professional graphics, especially with Photoshop. Unless you create graphics and images professionally, it doesn’t make sense to go very deep into Photoshop.
So, the next best option is, find a few images using image search on Google, select small portions of different images but make sure that they are logically connected, and create a mashup. You get a highly unique image for your blog post.
