Assembling the plate.
When all of the individual images have been placed into separate layers on the background plate, you are ready to arrange them in their proper location on the plate. Images overlap according to their position in the Layers palette: top ones lay above the ones below and will hide anything directly underneath them. Position of layers can be moved by dragging them up or down in the palette.
Click on a layer to work with the image in it [A]. Click on the move tool [V on the keyboard] and drag the image into position [B]. Repeat for all images.
After the images are roughly in place you can do advanced manipulation to complete the plate. For example: Select [using marquee tool, M on the keyboard] and cut/delete unnecessary pieces of an image; Select and rotate individual images; use Rubber Stamp tool [S on the keyboard] to fill in missing parts of images. Save the plate and save a copy of the plate.
