Description

Do you want to learn the art of creating composites and image manipulation using Photoshop?

Then you’ve come to the right place!

In this course you will be learning the entire art of superimposing multiple photos and creating a seamless composite.

What you will realize in this course is that this process is not as simple as cutting out a subject and placing it in another photo without any thought.

This process requires a lot of planning in choosing compatible images.

That’s why in this course you will learn, first of all, all the steps that you need to follow to find images that are compatible with each other to form a seamless composite. Some of these things will include compatibility within the following factors:

  • Horizon (Vanishing Point)
  • Angle of the shot
  • Direction and quality of light
  • Depth of field
  • Scale

Once you have understood the technique behind selecting compatible images for a composite, we will learn about the technique of making advanced selections in Photoshop where you will learn how to cut out a subject from the background in a very accurate and quick manner.

After we have placed the subject on to another image, the main process of blending the subject onto the background image will start to create a sense of realism. Here we will work on the following factors:

  • Creating Shadows
  • Luminance/Brightness
  • Color Saturation
  • Ambient Color
  • Temperature
  • Dodge and Burn
  • Depth of field correction
  • Noise Removal/Addition

Finally when we’ve got a real looking composite, the last phase will consist of correcting any minor issues and color grading the image.

This course will teach you how to edit composites and perform image manipulation using an efficient and completely non-destructive workflow.

In between, you will be learning about so many advanced tools, functions and shortcuts inside Photoshop that will completely blow your mind away.

Photoshop compositing and manipulation is not just an art, it’s also a science. And paying attention to both aspects is very important to get a satisfactory final result.

This is exactly what this course will teach you.
