TOOLS AND RESOURCES
Begin your compositing journey in this introductory follow-along lab. Every day, we are exposed to a proliferation of images of people or objects placed on different backgrounds. This is what compositing is — the art of combining photos to create realistic images or surrealistic works of art. Learn how you can use Photoshop to create those seemingly impossible images that you see everywhere. Colin Smith, founder of PhotoshopCAFE, will show you the latest tools and techniques that make compositing easy. Plus, discover some tricks that improve realism and believability. In Part 3 of this three-part lab, you’ll refine and complete a composite.
You’ll learn how to:
- Match the color and tone of images
- Use brushes for effects
- Add realistic shadows and reflections
- Use overlay textures
- Apply stylistic color and toning
