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
