I used these two tutorials Blending Photo into Background and Posterize It This is the left side of a two-page spread. The background is actually two photos posterized and blended to form the panoramic whole then blended into the paper to create the background. I loved Venice when I visited there and would love to return. The LO also uses the templates in the bundle.
