Let's go straight into it.

What You'll Need.
- Superimpose
- Afterlight
- Phonto
- One main photo of your choice.
- Three mini photos of your choice.

Step One.
Before even doing the same old, set black photo as background blah blah blah, edit and resize your photos. This makes things much easier. I also recommend gathering photos that are similar in color/vibe so it brings the cover all together. Whether it's all warm photos or photos that each have a hint of one of the same color or from the same moment (photoshoot, day, etc.) Just similarities. It makes all the difference.

Crop your photos all the same size — 16:9.

And when editing your photos, I 10/10 recommend VSCO. And this is why:

You can edit one of the photos and then when you're done, click it and click the three dots.

Then click Copy Edits

Step Two.
Go on to Superimpose and set this black photo as your background and put your main photo of choice as the foreground. Expand the photo to cover the background.
