Hi, patrons!
As mentioned, I've prepared a quick tutorial for CYS. This tutorial is based on the latest Windows version of Photoshop (25.12.0). I've also left the text embedded in the image below for those of you using a translator.

As I said last time, I will use Photoshop's Mask feature. This time I'm going to import this image into Photoshop and insert a dildo between Suzi's butt.
And like I did last time, I imported the dildo image.
I also pressed CTRL+T to rotate and resize the dildo image. But I don't think this image shows the dildo between Suzi's ass, it's just two images overlapped.
The first thing I need to do is erase the overlapping images. You can do this with the simple Eraser tool, but I recommend using the Mask feature.
Select the dildo image in the Layers window and click the Layer Masks button below.
Now you can see that we have something on the right side of the dildo image layer. The layer mask is the same as the transparency: black is entirely transparent, white is completely opaque, and gray is in between.
The first thing you need to ensure before editing a layer mask is that the layer mask for the image is selected.
Press B to switch to the brush tool, make sure the brush is colored black, and paint over the part of the dildo image you want to delete.
If you want to restore the deleted part, press X to change the brush color to white and repaint it.
However, the two superimposed images still don't look harmonious because they were rendered from different lighting and camera angles.
It's not easy to fix this perfectly, but we can still make them look more natural.
There are many ways to do this, but one of the easiest is to use the Inner Shadow in the Blending Options.
Right-click on the layer you want to apply the Blending Option to and select the Blending Option from there.
You may not see anything in the Layer Style window, in which case you can click the FX below to select the Inner Shadow.
Now, adjust each value accordingly to create a shadow on the dildo. If unsure, you can use the values in the screenshot above.
It's not perfect, but it's much better than before!
Compare the two images!
