This box will open now:
Use the setting above and make sure you are resizing it as pixel and that the aspect ratio box is unchecked down.Once you are done click ok button and your image automatically would resized
(becomes small)as per the given dimensions.
Step 3:
Right click and copy your newly resized image and then click on the transparent banner image you had opened first. Right click there and paste>paste as new layer. You will find that small picture inside your banner img.Select the DEFORM tool from your toolbar(the one which is encirled in the snapshot down on left hand size)and position your small picture(here used is anandi-jadish one from balika vadhu).
Step 4:
Repeat step 2 for opening another image and resize it again.copy it and paste it as new layer again in your banner img.Position it by using the deform tool the way you did in step 3.
Here make sure the second image overlaps a little bit with the first image and that the third layer in on top of the second one. Then select eraser tool from your tool box on left:
Now use these settings on top for the eraser tool:
go back to your banner and drag the eraser button by it clicking on the overlapping line where the second image is on top of the first one.
you will see that part of your second image mix with the first image.This is known as blending.
