Learn to choose the right images and match lighting, perspective, horizon line, and color to create a believable Photoshop composite of a subject with a background.
Match the subject luminosity to the background by isolating luminosity with a black-and-white layer, refining shadows with curves, and using a threshold luminosity map to guide light direction.
Learn two methods to match subject color to the background using curves and check layers. Sample shadows, midtones, and highlights, then fine-tune with color balance and saturation blending.
Create a realistic depth of field in Photoshop by using the lens blur filter with a depth map built from an alpha channel gradient, applying blur from bottom to top.
Perform color grading and lighting effects by painting with a soft brush, using soft light blending across multiple layers and a group to blend the subject with the background.
Learn color grading and sharpening techniques in Photoshop to seamlessly blend subjects with backgrounds, using selective color adjustments, color balance, high-pass sharpening, and layer masking.
Welcome to Photoshop compositing, how to match subject with a background, where you will learn how to composite and match any subject with any background in Photoshop
My name is rabii, and I’ve been doing Photoshop compositing and retouching projects for a long time now and I'm excited to teach you my secret techniques of realistic Photoshop compositing
I designed this course for photographers or anyone who wants to learn compositing who struggles to replace a subject from a photo or adding it to another background and can’t get it to look realistic, because in this course I'm gonna show exactly how to do that, and by the end of it you will be able to composite and match your subject with any background and make it look realistic everytime
We are gonna start with a quick introduction and talk about what to look for when choosing your images and why one photo may work better than another
Then I'm gonna show you how to match the perspective and test your composite to see if your subject is going to work with with the background and look realistic before you do any commitment or time-consuming selections
After that, we are gonna match the luminosity, and you will learn how to get your lights and shadows matching with the background using luminosity check layer techniques and adjustment layers
Once the perspective and the luminosity are matching we are gonna move to matching the color and you are gonna learn several techniques to automatically match color fast and also how to use some powerful color check layers techniques to get the color matching with your background every time
And lastly, we are gonna go even further and you’ll learn how to enhance your composites by adding a realistic camera depth of field effect using the powerful depth map masks, you will also learn how to paint lighting effects and apply a color grade to an image
The ideal student for this course is an existing photographer or anyone wants to learn Photoshop compositing, has a basic understanding of Photoshop and wants to take his compositing skills to the next level, and if that sounds like then you are gonna love this course, so feel free to take a look through the course description watch the preview videos and im looking forward to seeing you inside
