Photoshop Compositing – Match Subject with any Background

Combine Images Into A Stunning Composite
When it comes to Photoshop compositing, there’s really no limit to the possibilities. Except for your own creativity, of course.

Only through compositing in Photoshop can you place a biker against a backdrop of picturesque palm trees. Or a gowned figure among the trees of a misty forest. Or a small child in front of a breathtaking waterfall.

In reality, such images would be almost impossible to create naturally. But the process of Photoshop compositing brings all these possibilities to life.

Of course, this process is not nearly as simple as it looks. Lighting, color, and proper layering all need to be considered when crafting a composite photo in Photoshop.

If any one of these is off, the end result simply looks fake. Artificial.

Contrived. You might think, “Well, that’s just how Photoshop is,” but that’s just not true.

It is perfectly feasible to create realistic-looking composite photos within the Photoshop platform. You just have to know-how. And that is the hardest thing of all.

First, you need to develop an instinct as to what photos will work best as composite images. Then you need to figure out how to match color and luminosity.

Then you have to know which effects would be best to use, and how to use them effectively. Does it seem like a lot? That’s because it is. Until now.
