composite image
Merged visual elements
A composite image is a single picture created by combining elements from multiple sources—photographs layered together, different exposures merged, or separate shots blended into one scene.
The term appears in photography, digital art, and forensics, where police create composite images of suspects from witness descriptions: The composite image was assembled from three different photographs.
