Post-Production for Architectural Visualization in Photoshop

Explore the Photoshop user interface and essential tools, create and customize new images, adjust levels, work with layers and colors, and tailor your workspace for post-production.

Apply post-production steps to transform a quick, untextured render into a finished architectural image by adding background, vegetation, textures, illumination, and shadows.

Use Photoshop's magic wand and quick mask to select vegetation, refine with brush tools and clone stamp, then apply textures for mountains and roads.

Learn how to place vegetation in a Photoshop scene to improve composition, using layers, flipping and resizing bushes, and adjusting color, saturation, and exposure with clipping masks.

Create three light layers in Photoshop, paint yellow with varied brush sizes and hardness, apply overlay blending, then refine with polygonal lasso, blur, and opacity for clean lights and glare.

Finish the post-production by adding final effects and layer-based retouching, applying photo filters, sepia tones, and mood changes with opacity, blur, and a solid color fill, then save.

Learn to create convincing lighting effects in Photoshop for architectural visualization by painting light with layers, glow, blur, and overlays, illuminating windows, poles, and surroundings.

Add glow layers for the light poles using overlay and vivid light, then colorize with hue/saturation to cast purple illumination on the floor.

Use lighting effects in Photoshop to simulate illumination on people and umbrellas with adjustment layers, exposure tweaks, and painted color on borders.

Use a z-depth map from a render to apply environmental fog in Photoshop, invert the map, adjust blending mode and levels to control the fog intensity.
