If you are a beginner, this is the best course for you to learn digital composition techniques using Adobe Photoshop. Let us see in our classes. 2. 01 New Document Setup for Composition: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to create a new document for our digital composition. Remember, in Photoshop, when you are creating a new document, you have different Catholic Z or you can create a new document for photo rained or Torkel illustration. We can able to create the new document for web, mobile. And from based on your needs, you can choose which kind of work you are going to do with this Adobe Photoshop. If you are going to create a digital composition for a film or video, you can go for this. Here. You can able to see we have full HD, HD. The resolutions were to have high definition video. We have DVC broke up to eight K video. You can able to see that we have a different preset that I mentioned. If you are going to create the same kind of composition for a bigger purpose, you can choose the verb. So based on that, we can able to create a new document. Now, I'm going to create this for a film or video. So I choose filament video, and here I'm going to choose HDTV, which is ten ADP. I click here. When I click here, you can able to see all those informations about the height and the orientation of the document, the resolution, all those things will be set to automatically. You can see that I'm going to choose the second one. So those values are automatically changed. So based on Monday, I can able to choose which this preset dimensions I need. So after choosing this dimension, I'm going to give a name which is simple composition. So I'm going to create a very simple composition. Let me show you how to do that. So I will set it at this 0920 to 1080 pixels. I choose Create. So now you will get the new document. Create a simple composition. You to have those guidelines to set the document area within this four is three ratio. And you can able to see we have the headroom at the top I end. We have proper budget is on both left and right hand side of the dog. Bottom also. Here I'm going to create my composition. When you are making a composition work, first, you have to decide which one will be the background image. Here I'm going to use only two images here you can able to see I have a picture. So we have very good landscape view and I have a post. So I'm going to use this person. I'm going to place them inside this water off this particular landscape. And I'm going to do the other modifications. That's what I'm going to do right now. Let us see how to do that with Adobe Photoshop. I want to move both images inside Adobe Photoshop. So I just select both images, come to the Adobe Photoshop. And here I'm going to place the top of this document area so I can able to load both, Amy just inside Adobe Photoshop. So it was getting loaded. You can able to see that. I can able to load both images. And you can able to see both images having very good resolution. I go to this image menu and I go to this image size. You can able to see what will be the width and height of this particular document and resolution. You can able to see that it will mostly no more than fica resolution. And here also I have the document or this is also very good teammates. It has nearly eight. Get a solution. So let us start the work first, I choose this picture. I want to move that into this particular document. So I choose this, I choose more tool. I just click and drag. You can able to do that. And I go to my new document, which is simple composition. Here I'm going to release inside this particular place. I caught the particular document here. You can able to see that I have the complete picture. Now what I'm going to do is I want to convert this, which are as a smart object. So I come to this layer palette, and this is the BG image, so I'm going to choose that too busy image. I press Enter. Now I just convert this layer into a smart object because I'm going to do the dimension change. So I will convert that into a smart object. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to apply transform. I press Control T. They press Control minus to view the entire image area. I just reduce the dimension as a lecture example to see how I adjust that. You can able to place how I need the particular document here. I'm going to press Enter. And here they want to place him in this water. I can move the top. So it has controlled 0. Here. I want to place him and I want to adjust all those water areas. So that's how I was planned this composition. So this is how you can able to set the particular background work for this simple composition. Remember, this is a fastest. If you center the particular background image successfully, the background works successfully. It will be easy one. 3. 02 Image Editing for Simple Composition: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to edit the particular person and how to remove the background from here. Now, I just close this document and I'm going to choose this versa. So here I'm going to play same inside the water. And before that, I'm going to do few more changes. Let's just reduce the image dimension. As a treacherous was placed like this. Now we come to this feature. You can use any selection tool to separate him from the background. Now I'm going to use my Quick Selection Tool. So I do have this object selection tool and choose Object Selection. So the tosses is going on that will track the particular persons, the peasants from the background. You can see clearly he have a different laws to compare the backlog and that you don't create some very good selection. So I just click here to select him. That process is going on. And I want to edit manually. 4. 03 Make Reflection Colour Corrections: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to place him inside the water. In our previous lesson, I showed you how to edit him from the background. I just close the document and here I'm going to place them inside the water. Right now. You can see he was over the water. Now, I'm going to add a new layer for him. And here I'm going to give a name for him. For example, I'm going to give a name which is Johnson. And I'm going to duplicate a new layer for him. So I press Control J. When I press Control J, we know we can able to do Layer via Copy. So I got a new layer. You can able to see that. Now I just double-click here. I'm going to add the name, which is a reflection. I'm going to place them inside the water. Now before placing him inside the water. First, I want to do a little bit color correction for him. I was removed that layer. Remember, when I have the object in this particular location, I will have less amount of brightness over the particular subject. For Johnson also, I'll wait to have less amount of brightness. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to Add Image Adjustments and brightness contrast. I'm going to reduce the brightness a little bit. Too much amount of brightness. That's not right one. So it must reduce the brightness. So after reducing the brightness, Yes, I choose. Okay. Now you can able to see this is the original one. But after adding the greatness, I have this much amount of light. So after this situation only I'm going to duplicate him. So now I'm going to choose that particular layer, which is Johnson. And I'm going to press Control J. Now we got a new layer, just Johnson's copy. Going to rename that layer into the reflection and I press Control T to apply it to Anthropology. Yes, I chose. Okay. I'm going to right-click and choose flip vertical. Now I choose Enter. You can able to see how we have created a reflection for Johnson. And I'm more him below this particular object. Now, I just want to know what will be the reflection value here. So I just want to place in this location, after placing him in this location, what I'm going to do is I'm going to remove the unwanted areas of this particular pitcher. Had two pictures. We have reflection and that original layer. Firstly, I want to choose this reflection layer after choosing that. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to update transform. And I just reduce the body appearance using Shift key. And I press Enter, please, that exactly what I need. And after that I'm going to add layer mask for this objection layer, add layer mask. And after adding the layer mask, I'm going to choose my best tool. Here. I'm going to have black on foreground color. I'm going to apply that. So you can able to see how I can able to hide the particular character. And this is how I'm going to hide him. Then after adding the particular layer mask, I choose the Johnson layer. And here also I'm going to add layer mask. And here also I'm going to hide those unwanted areas. Now you can see how we have that appearance. After having the appearance. Now I choose this reflection layer. I'm going to reduce the opacity. So you can able to see how I can able to do that work. It's easy. We're going to make this here. I don't want those are rough edges. So I just want a proper finishing here instead of having this feathered amount. So I just want to place exactly where I need all those edges. I'm going to use a hard brush. So I choose brush tool. In Brush tool, I'm going to reduce the brush size. Here. I'm going to use it so far first I know I'm going to use it for the Johnson, not further reflection. So I'm going to finish it. So I use white. Just wanted to reveal that edges are valence. And you can see how I was revealed those ages in the same way I choose for flexion. Here I'm going to mention how I want the edges. So this is how you can able to adjust that. And here I want to add just more. So I just want to place exactly how I want. And I can able to reduce more that water value. Now we can look at this original picture. This picture you can able to see how we have that reflection and what are mode we have the difference between the original pixel as well as the reflection pixels. Here. Almost. We have the same kind of tone here. And instead of having dark flexion, so we're going to use the same color value, but we reduced to twenty-two percent. But instead of twenty-two percent, I'm going to maintain more reflection value. But you can see the difference here. Here we have the dose series, but at the bottom we can able to see we have small waves. I want to create these kind of waves. Before that, we have to ensure you are a creator and this kind of reflection using this Adobe Photoshop. So based on your need, you can able to set what kind of color correction detract us. And after Dan that brightness contrast I just met, you can able to do this kind of reflection using Adobe Photoshop. 5. 04 The Water Waves over the Reflection: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to add a water wave appearance for this reflection. In our last lesson, we have seen how to create this reflection like illusion using this Adobe Photoshop. You can see that now I want to add a small water waves like this appearance for this reflection. To do that. First I come to this reflection layer. You can see this is my reflection layer. I just come to this reflection layer. I just lightly go over that. Here I'm going to choose Rasterize Layer. So when I choose last listed here, you can able to see I don't have no other properties like I don't have those layer effects. And I just want to apply this layer mask. So I just click and drag and release that inside this delete. Before that, I just want to apply that. Here I have the reflection layer. And in this reflection layer, I'm going to add that pave effect. So we have multiple ways to achieve that kind of effect. I'm going to show you on by one. First thing, I come to this filter's menu. After choosing that particular layer, I come to this filter's menu. Here I'm going to choose this liquefy option. So in liquefy you have a lot of options to edit those image areas. At first you have forward wrap tool. We can use the tool effectively to create that kind of wave appears. So I choose the tool now I zoom this area. They use Control and scroll vertically here to zoom it. So after Zoom this, you can able to see, I have this four-bar raptor. I can able to say what kind of brushes I need. Based on that, I can able to create the water waves like appearance. In this way. It's beauty based on you will need, you're going to do. And finally, I'm going to choose. So again, this is how it will look if you add that much, amount, the veil, I press Control Z. Now what I'm going to do is I choose the same liquefy option to filter. In this, I'm going to choose the same tool and zoom it. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to reduce the brush size. We can able to reduce using shortcut key or you can able to come to this properties of this brush. You can able to see we can able to adjust here. So this is also we have the V and I can able to adjust how I need that particular size. And I'm going to set that value into ten. After I just think that I come to this area. Here, I'm going to add just, so it looks like this is also, the value is much bigger than the previous one. I said that into file. Now what I'm doing is I was creating that wave effect manually. Remember, these are the steps we can able to use to create those manual. Like appearance. We do have the default filters that can able to convert the water wavelike appearance within a single filter effect. Let me show you. This one is done through the manual mode. Now you can able to see how we have that reflection. This is why you need this particular option which is liquefy. And after achieving that particular effect, if you want, you can go for more. Opacity reduction. Can see that. That's how it works. And I press control Z, Record got all back to this original form. Now I choose the same reflection. If you want to add in this way, no, I have another filter. I come to this filter's menu. I come to this discharge and they start, I have two options to create. This. First one is this veil. So when it choose this view, we can able to see I have the number generators, wavelength, amplitude and scale. I can able to utilize all those things right now I have the number of generators into one and I had a veil land. I can able to adjust it. You can see how that particular picture, how the appearance and able to set the wavelength and the amplitude values. The number of generators. Based on your need, you do all those things. That's how it looks that the result is not a no as we expected. So you can able to use this zipper and you can also use a Zip Zac if you want to create this kind of way of valence. Well, to see how it has that appearance. If you want to create in this way, you can able to use it. And you do have the amount value. You can able to set the hallway, want you to have three options here. So based on your need, you can set how you want. I can able to move it and I can able to place how I need. So in that way also, you can able to say it. Those are reflections. So I hope the previous one, what I have done with the help of my carefree option is much better to compare this one. So I'm going to apply that same value here. I come to this place. And I'm going to use the same value. So it was created that flexion. Now finally I choose, Okay, so we got that reflection here, like how we need. This is how we can able to create the reflection for this water. Now, he was walking through this water and I want to create some dark water like appearance on his jeans, pants. To create that. What I'm going to do is I'm going to duplicate this particular layer which is Johnson. I just press Control Z or I can able to hold Alt key and click and drag to move duplication process. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to select this part alone. Like how you want to create that particular no water like appearance. And after that, I want to adjust those selections. So instead of having that, I'm going to use laser tool and I'm going to adjust hallway. So apart from this area, I'm going to hide our other area. So in that Johnson's copy, I'm going to blake Control Shift I to apply the Inverse selection. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to add a black on all those areas. So I press Control Backspace. I can able to hide all those unwanted areas. Now way to this layer here, I'm going to choose some dark appearance on those pants. So I come to this brightness contrast. And here I'm going to choose less amount of brightness on the counter should be better. Now what I'm going to do is just to move and place exactly where I want to place it. So this is how it looks. You can able to see that ban was in all little wet. It look how that kind of look. And if you want to create some more wet paint like appearance, you can go for some other option, like I can go for hue and saturation. So here I have lightness. I can able to add more that appearance. This is how we can able to create this appearance using this Adobe Photoshop. And After adding all those things, finally, we are going to add the finishing announcement works in upcoming lesson. 6. 05 Final Composition Enhancement Work: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to create a small waterways around the johnston at the bottom of this water. Now, to do that, first, I'm going to create a new duplication. So I choose both reflection as well as the background image. Now after choosing that, I press Control J so that I can get new duplicated layers. You can see both layers here. Now I press Control E so that they know I can able to combine both layers and they hide the original images. You can see that this tool was originally, I was hide that and I just show only the dino duplicate or copy which has both reflection as the background image. Now after that, I come to my document area. Here from this bar, you can see the control or is the shortcut key. If you don't have that, you can use Control R to show that. And I just click and drag from the place to get a new guideline. And they placed exactly here. The same way, I just want to add a vertical guideline. So I create a guideline from this, the vertical ruler bar. And I'm going to place it here. Now out of pacing that I'm going to place it exactly where I need. So after placing that, I'm going to select the particular area of the image. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to add a water, appears to add that I choose filters. I'm going to choose this distort. And here I'm going to choose zigzag. Zigzag. You can able to see how, how the water wavelike appearance. We can able to adjust the values. You can able to create like this. You add this zag. What are wavelike appearance? It affect the entire image, that background image. I press Control Z. Now I want to apply a part of the image alone. To do that, I choose my rectangular marquee tool. Here I'm going to create a selection. What to see how I was creating a selection. And you can able to see I have the center point on this location. So I just want to apply transform, choose, Select, and choose Transform selection. Now you can able to see where I have the central point and just move the selection using my keyboard. Press Enter. Now here I'm going to apply that particular effect. So to do that, I go to my filters. I choose Distort. Here, I'm going to choose this Zac. Zac are unable to see. I had the effect over the particular place alone, not on all over the place. Here it shows you how we have that water ripple. I just want to add just it. See, we have two options here. We have our mode and ridges. I can able to increase our mode if I want. I can able to adjust this way just like how many is it just I need. You can able to see that how we have it. I'm going to use less or more tough rachis, like either only five. Choose, okay. So when I choose OK, you can able to see exactly on the center position because I was placed the guideline on the central portion. I will have the appearance like this. If you feel this was too much, I press Control Z. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to reduce the value here. So I have the selection, I press the exact here. You can able to adjust the values if you want. You can able to see that. You can adjust that it just also, it's based on your need. You can able to choose how we want those waves. And to have multiple options here. You have the style, which is our own center. And you do have two more options out of center. And this one pond ripples are so based on your need, you can choose which one you want and you can able to choose, Okay? Now you can able to see how we have the ripples. I press Control D to de-select that particular selection. Oh no, so I press Control H to hide all those guidelines. Now you can able to see how we have the particular feature. So if you want to create these kinds of variables, we can able to use this kind of filter which is the observed. So this is how you can able to create your own that particular simple composition using Adobe Photoshop. Now, if we want to add more darkness towards this particular list, Johnson, I can able to go to this Image Adjustments Brightness. And I can label to reduce the brightness as directors, if you feel that a particular person was having too much amount of analyte, we can able to reduce more. And that will give you the better loop for this composition. So this is how we are creating a simple composition for making. Anyone worked like, I'm going to use this for, you know, a filling or I'm going to use this for social media or image manipulation, whatever it is, we can able to create a simple composition using Adobe Photoshop. This competition has multiple roles you can able to see. I will set up the backlog and after that I was edited the image. I did as well. I know lighting adjustment and I was done the duplication of layers and center that reflection. Finally, I was added in all those wavelike appearance in the water. So you can able to add those different ethics using Photoshop based on the composition, need only. 7. 06 Image Editing Work: Hi. In this section, I'm going to show you how to create another image composition using these two images. I'm going to use this landscape image as a background. And I'm going to use this geography. I'm going to be this something different way. Let me show you how to do that. So first what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a new document. So I come to this Photoshop. In this Photoshop I choose Create new document. And I'm going to choose this, my own 9201080 pixels. And I'm going to choose Create. I'll choose create. Yes, I got the document dimension. Now from this two images, I'm going to move my first image, which is the background. I just drag and drop that here. Inside this Photoshop. You can see how I had that picture. I don't want to stretch. So I just click and drag. Simply scale the pitcher here. And I just want to show more land area. Finally, I press Enter and I press Control Z to view that image on the full screen view. Now you can able to see we have the landscape, and this is how I want landscape. When I press Control minus to zoom out and I press Control D, we can able to see how we have the picture here. You don't exactly want to show the same picture here. If you want to create an image conversion. Sometimes if you want to move that three into the left-hand side, yes, you can scale the image. We can place like this. So by default, you can see we have the three on the left-hand side. And if you need the tree on the right hand side, you can place like this without affecting the original image by scaling the pitcher, you can able to place the image like this. You can see how beautiful this is. If we want that on the left-hand side of center, you can place like this based on your needs. You can able to manipulate that image how you want on this bag node. So I was pleased that image, what I require. Now after that, I just want to move the Z Rafi here. So I come to this raphe folder. Here, I'm going to drag and drop into this Adobe Photoshop. You can able to see how we have that pitcher. I just want to remove the background for this geography. And you can able to see we have almost similar color tone on the background. So if you want to use, you can use a pen tool. That's a better thing to do this image editing work. Also, you can able to use this object selection tool. So when it choose Object Selection tool in Adobe Photoshop, CC 2022, that find the object, that detect the object, the subject, what we have on this photograph. So it was searching, let us see whether it can able to search that exact image or not. So now you can see that was directed the Z Rafi here. It's the only thing this was collected here. I just click here because I want to select this geography and I just wanted it to the other parts. Yes, I can do that later. But right now, I just want to select this geography. So this is going on. The selection is making and take some time to load the selection. Since the image dimension is bigger, it took some time. Then finally I got the selection. Now you can able to see how we have the selection. It's really perfect. You can see that after creator that selection here, I don't want, you know, disliked these areas. So I just want to add the selection here. Yes, those spots are added. And I have some unordered areas also I can able to edit that later. I can able to show what are all the things I need. So we can able to edit the rest of areas later. Now after choosing all those essential areas, what I'm going to do is I just unlock this layer at the background. And I'm going to add this layer mask. So when I add the layer mask, you can able to see I can able to hide all those unwanted areas. And here also, if I want, I can able to hide those unwanted areas. What I'm doing is I was selecting those areas. You can able to use any tool. You can also use the pen tool to do this selection work. And in this mask, I'm going to add black to hide those areas. So this is how you are going to hide those areas. And if you want, we can able to use it here also, I'm going to use the same tool. Since this laser tool is free hand selection tool, it's easy to use this tool. Alright? If you want to exact position, the exact smooth appearance on the skin buttery can go for pen tool because painter is only to it create a precise selection when it triggers. You can see here, I just show you an example. From that place to here I'm going to create a selection. I press control enter to convert that path into a selection. Now we add black color using Alt Backspace. So you can able to see how smooth we have that appearance over the dose ages. This is why you need paint tool to do this kind of image editing works. You'll have a better result over this Pen tool. Now, if you want to remove yes, you can remove all those underwater batches. So I choose this image layer. After that, I come to this toolbox. Here I'm going to choose this spot healing brush tool. This tool will help you a lot to remove those on watermarks. You can able to see how it works. That He, those unwanted things. So we can able to heal all those grasses. What we have over the picture. Take some time that you can do this. Based on your need. You're going to decide whether you need this out. I'm not going to do all those things, going to remove all those stuff. And at the end, we will have digital fee without any those class lines. Here also, I'm going to do some rough work. Those legs looks better. Those front legs. Now I'm gonna do the same thing for this also. Now I'm going to use my blur tool. I can able to blur those areas. Second, able to use my Smudge tool. So the smudge tool to help you tennis match those colors. So for the long view, this is fine, looks good. So after this, I choose this image, trim and choose okay, because I just want to remove all those transparent background what we have there in this picture. After completing this work, I just want to convert this layered into smart object. Because if we want to maintain the image quality for this pitcher, I just wanted to convert that into a smart object. What I'm going to do, I just right-click over the pitcher. They choose Convert to Smart Object option. So it was converted into a smart object. Now I was moving that into this document. Remember this is the full literary document with 72 is a solution. But this was too high. So I just want to move first, I just drag and drop here. But later what I'm going to do is I'm just want to zoom out the screen. Let's Control T and an altar applying the transform, I was just reduce the feature size. You can see how I was reduced to the picture. 8. 07 Puppet Warp for Image Composition: And it will create the appearance like this that you want to have some leaf. So it was moving there. You can see how it looks very simple. We have done the background removal work for this geography. Now after that, what I'm doing is I just I want to duplicate this. You can see, since I was removed all those on what are things, it's somewhat look similar. Now. This is a 0 if you want, I just want to duplicate another one. So I right-click over that particular layer and choose duplicate layer. Here I'm going to choose a name to our Jira phi2. You can see I have modular feature here. So here what I'm going to do is I just press Control T and then right-click over this geography. Here I'm going to choose this flip horizontal. The help of this option, I can flip horizontal. I can able to scale like this. This one looks too small. You can see that. Now what I'm going to do is I just want to make the field like this giraffe. He was jumping and eating those leaves on this tree. So to create that kind of appearance, I just want to reduce the geographic size more. And I just want to do some changes here to edit this image, I'm going to choose this Edit menu. In this edit menu, I'm going to choose this Puppet Warp. So with the help of this Puppet Warp option, you can able to adjust the image current appearance. So after choosing the Puppet Warp, we can able to see how we have kind of a no puppet wrap here over the particular picture. Now what I'm going to do is I just click on this location. So when I click that location, I can able to add one pin there. Here also, I don't feel after that I come to the bottom of those legs. Here also, I'm going to add two pins. Here. I'm going to add one pin on those knees. I was adding separate pins on those tools. Also. Apart from that, I just choose this hey, the area and here also it was added on. Now, after adding that, what I'm going to do is I just want to I just like how I want. So I just like how I want. So I just want to make this appearance. Like those geographies are trying to eat those tea leaves. So what is going on here is that geography want to move their legs, the front legs on the yard to try to eat those leaves. On that the head also, I was doing the adjustment here on the leg. It was making the leg into state appearance. Then only that we will have the proper balance. That's why I was doing that. And if I want, I can add one more point here to straighten that particular friend like appearance. So after I added all those things, what I'm going to do is I just press Enter. Then we press Enter. I can able to apply that change. What I had done on this Puppet Warp. This is how I can able to change the particular picture appearances using that option which is Puppet Warp. So you can able to place how you want. And here I'm, what I'm going to do is I'm going to do the unmoored thing. I choose the same that the Rafi, I add layer mask. Now after adding that layer mask, I'm going to choose my brush tool. And in those brushes I have a lot of brushed tiles. We can able to see that. I'm going to choose a chalk brush. So I just want to use my brushes styles. I just want to show the legacy brushes. Can able to see I got my legacy brushes here. I have the default brushes. We almost have all those brushes. Here. What I'm going to do is I'm going to choose my brush. And after choosing the ER brush, I come to this area. Here, I'm going to use a black color. This black color shows that the part of the head was inside those branches. If you want to create this kind of appearances, yes. You need to use those brushes. You can see that. So this is why we need these kind of additional options with Adobe Photoshop. And now what I'm doing is I'm going to duplicate the same geography again. I can able to right-click and I can able to choose Duplicate Layer. I'm going to choose three. And here I'm going to move that new one. I just applied transform. I right-click over there and I'm going to choose flip horizontal. Now I just want to increase the size. And I want to place here, you can able to see that, that object, what we have in the distance have smallest size and the nearby when we have the larger appearance. So it was increasing the size of the geography. It looks nearby this captured image camera. I know what I'm doing is I just want to create some head down appearance for this tariff free. So I just come to this Edit menu. Here I'm going to choose my option which is Puppet Warp. And here I'm going to add some changes. Like what I expect, the help of this puppet warp. It looks towards the bottom area. That's how I just want to create some appearance. So you can able to create that appearance how you want for geography, SLS, you will composition. So this is how we can able to create the composition. 9. 08 Sky adjustment for Image Composition: Now at the end, I just rasterize this background. I right-click over that particular layer and I'm going to choose this option, which is to ask this layer. After that, I just want to change the sky color because it looks at the default to one. I just want to change the intestine. To do that, I come to this menu. And in Edit menu we can able to see we have option which is a Sky Replacement. In Adobe Photoshop to 32. We have this feature which is Sky Replacement. Choose that one. Here I'm going to change the sky background of the image. You can see this is the image editing process. It's a default process. When I choose this Sky Replacement that automatically detect the sky. What we have in this picture. We can able to see that particular The Sky Replacement option was tracked at the entire sky background. And that replaced with this sky, the placement option. So we can see right now we have this default sky pitcher and we have the adjustment options for this particular sky. You can able to see we have the Shift Edge, it was 0. And if you want I can able to adjust that like how I want to know that edges of the previous k with this picture. So you can able to adjust how I want. And that can able to affect the foreground images also. So you can able to adjust yourself manually. We want to show the original image area more. And here I have most gray appearances. If you want the blue sky, you can able to load it. This is how we have the loop. So you can able to change the entire sky appearance using this option, which is a Sky Replacement. You to have that just meant the options for the fade ages, like how you want on those ages. And right now, it looks like warm in nature contains that. If I want, I can come to this sky. I just meant I can able to adjust the brightness and the darkness. The same time we can able to adjust the temperature. We want to create some cool, yes, you can. Able to go for this blue. And if you want to create some warm feeling, can go for the seller. So you can able to see how it works. I can able to scale the scale. So this is the picture you can able to see that. I can able to scale if I want. So based on my knee, I'm going to sit and I can able to flip it if I want. I can able to say what kind of lighting or more I need to multiply and screen. I have the screen with this appearance, but this looks good. Just multiply. And we have light adjustment and color. I just want for those things. And if you want that output on a new layer or duplicate layer, I can choose which one I want. I can able to choose. Okay? So the previous layer was not affected, which is the original layer. It was new one. You can see this is the original. And this one was after replacing the sky using this Adobe Photoshop. So you can able to create that kind of compositions what you want based on your creativity as well as you need. You can able to create any kind of compositions using this Adobe Photoshop CC 2032. 10. 09 Basic Image Editing works: In this section, I'm going to show you how to create an image digital composition using these four images, you can see we have a background in nature. This is a forest. And we have one elephant. We have a kid who's capturing the photograph using his mobile phone. Or it may be the point and shoot digital camera. Finally, I have one house. You can see you have some power cables here, the poll. So I just want to remove all those things. So with the help of these four images, we are going to create the composition. Let me show you how to do that. Firstly, choose all those four images. I just want to move that inside of this Adobe Photoshop. So I was moved it here. And after moved it first, what I'm want to do is I just want to create my own the dimension Canvas, which is where I'm going to choose this file and choosing this option new. Here I'm going to choose my option, which is art and illustration. Since I'm going to make a poster for this, let's choose my Forster. But I just want to create the poster in the form of landscape. So I choose this option which is landscape. Now you can able to see this restoration was 300 when you're making any work for print, it should be a thing under the solution. But now since I was showing this in for a demo purpose, only going to make that resolution into 72 instead of 300. But when you are making this work, you should keep that value, which is 300. So this is my new document. First, what I need to do is I just want to move this image on the background. So I just select this move tool. I can have two ways to do this. I can able to press Control a, to select the entire image area. I can able to press Control C and I can able to come to this place. There's a new document here I'm going to place on the picture using Control V. But instead of that, what I can do is I can just deselect the selection using Control D. I can also use the Move tool and just click and drag. And I come to this new document area here I'm going to release. This is another way I was done on this second way, based on your need, we can choose how you want. So here I want to place this picture as you record. So it was important that picture here, and I just convert that layer into a smart object. You know why I was telling that a smart object conversion. And I can able to transform it more. I can able to reduce the image size. You can able to place how I want. So you can see how we have this background. And I just want to close this picture. I don't want that. We have three more image, this house and this elephant. And this boy was, I want to choose this house. Remember, I'm going to use this house. I'm going to place that house over this particular forest. Just want to play. And I just want to make the feeling that house was present inside this forest. It can able to place here. I have the elephant. The elephant should be here on this way. And I just want to place this heat on this road. This is what was planned here. So first what I need to do is I can able to edit the elephant here. So I just want to create a selection. I'm going to use my, this subject selection, this object selection tool will automatically select my subjects. What I have in this picture, you can able to see we have some zebras on the background, but still, this is the major objects we have in this picture. So the computer process the entire picture and it will select, show you particular object, what we have on this page. So I'm going to get the picture here. Yes. It can able to see when I move, it shows you what are all the areas are selected or director it to detect that particular zebra, what we have behind. But I just want to select this elephant. So I choose elephant. And I just want to click over the elephant two-step. Now, at the end, after choosing this elephant, what I'm going to do is I'm going to apply the option which is layer mosque. Take some time. Yes. Select the entire elephant image. You can see for selector. Now what I'm doing is I just unlock the background using this double-click and I apply a layer mask option. So after adding this layer mask, choose trim using this image menu. And I just want to convert this layer to a smart object. So I convert that into a smart object. And I just want to move that inside this particular area. You can see how big the image was to compare canvas. Now I press Control Minus and I apply transform. I'm going to reduce the particular elephant size. Remember this is a smart object so that I can able to, you know, I just like how I want that elephant. So if we want to place that elephant, I'm going to create looks like the elephant was pleasant nearby the boy I can able to place like this. And if I want to show that elephant was present bit far away from that boy, you can able to place here. So based on your need, you can able to perform that work how you want. Now, I was a teacher, that particular elephant here. Now after this, I just want to edit that boy. So I just close that pitchers since I have that in this original, my poster design. Here, I come to this place. I just want to select the boy. I use the same option of just Selection tool so that I can do more things. So what I can do is before choosing this object selection tool, I can able to crop that particular kid from this entire picture. That object selection tool will not need to scan the entire image area. Now, what I'm doing is I was using this object selection. So to take only a few minutes to know how to select this particular bar. So the process is going on. The object selection tool was working to create a selection over this boy to find that object, what we have. And I'm going to click here, you can see that can able to find that boy. I just click there. And I will get the selection here. You can see that I've got the selection here and I need to do small adjustments. I'll do that later. But here I just want to expand the selection. Yes, I just don't want to choose Add to Selection. And I just want to add that area inside this. Now after completing this work, I just unlock the background and I choose Add Layer Mask. You can see how we got the kid here. Now, the same way, I convert this kid layer into a Smart Object. And I moved that into this poster design. You can see how big that particular person was located was. Just want to reduce dimension. I can see how we had a kid here. Now after that, I just close that pitcher. I have the background elephant and a kid. And the kid we can able to see, I want to remove few more unwanted areas. What I'm doing is I was applying layer mask here. And I'm going to use my brush tool. The help of this best tool. I just don't want to hide those unwanted areas you can see. I just add black color on the layer mask so that I can able to hide all those unnecessary areas. So this small details will help you to create better at digital composition. Don't avoid those things. You can able to see how we have those unwanted areas. Not this one. This is a part of the form. You can able to see how it works. So this is how you will have that appearance of the boy. So after that, I just think that I come to this house. As I told you at first, I just want to remove those virus from the house. And I just want to remove those things also. To do that, I'm going to use some easy way. So what I'm doing is I was choosing this my spot healing brush tool. I'm going to use it like this. So that helps me a lot to remove all those things. And here also I want to do the same thing. So here what I'm doing is I was just click and drag over that wire. Since that was a forest, I don't want to show any wire. That's why, you know, it was using this spot healing brush tool. We can able to see I was doing all those works, the help of that spot healing brush tool, lonely hero. So I was doing the same thing. I was hiring those wires. That's it. I think I can able to edit this feature now. Now what I'm doing is I just want to select my magic wand tool. And after this magic one to selection, I just click outside this picture. When I choose, we can able to see that select all those similar colors on the pitcher. But I don't want all those colors. So you can see, I press Control D, I just enable this contiguous. I just want to select these areas. Let's select those areas. And I just want that house alone from this. Select that. I'm going to use my object selection again. And I just click here, select a house alone. It creates selection. It's AC process you can do with this option, which is object selection tool. So the image quality is much weaker. That's why it takes some time to select the particular house. And you can see it was selector. Now after selected that, I just want to unlock this layer. I just convert that into Layer Mask. And I just want to convert that into a smart object. So after adding the clay mask on smart object, just move that house inside my poster design. This house is much weaker. I played transform, reduce the dimension of the house. You can able to see how we had Hosea, I'm going to place this house inside the forest. So I just want to place here. And after that, I will have that boy here. Remember, we are going to the other works here to place the house inside the forest. Right now I was done only the immediate eating work. I was edited the images from those separate pictures. We got four images and affirm that form. We can able to see. We edited those unwanted areas and just move all those essential areas to this particular composition work. In next lesson, I'm going to show you how to do the image composition. After this image editing work. 11. 10 Masking Techniques for Image Composition: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to place those edited images on the exact position with proper adjustments. Now, as I told you, I'm going to place this boy in front of the elephant. So I was having this boy image here, the top we can able to see. I can able to place this boy here. Since I just want to create the appearance like that boy was having that leg appearance like this. I was pleased to hear. But I can able to do another way to adjust this leg. We can able to place this boy on the state alone. Here what I'm doing is selecting this elephant. I've already using the MHC is more. And I'm going to create it looked like this elephant have more distance to compare the previous one. So this is how I was pacing. And if I want I can able to adjust the leg using the option which is Puppet Warp. We know how to use this puppet warp. I can able to choose the Puppet Warp and I can able to, okay, I was selected that elephant layer. I had to choose that boy layer, choose this Puppet Warp. And here I can able to add a point. Again, able to adjust the leg like this. I can able to add more points to avoid those unnecessary changes. Enable to change like this. So this is nothing wrong with that. I can able to edit those shadows what we have below this boy's legs. So I was done this very simple work and I can able to place him now wherever I need. And after that, what I'm doing is I was placing that elephant here. Yes, I was done that. Now we have the challenge of just, I just don't want to place this house inside the trees. So here I have a lot of trees. I just want to place this house behind the trees. How to do that? I just want to just want to show you how to do that work. First. I just want to show the opacity. You can able to see I was reducing the opacity. It shows you where you have those three tanks and those leaves. So that is going to help me see. I was showing the house here. We have multiple ways to do that work. Let me show you one by one. Now, at first what I'm going to do is here we have the particular picture. It has a 100% resolution. Now what I'm doing is I was choosing this background. We can able to see this is the background image I lost using that particular background image. After choosing this particular background image, I choose Control J, so that I can able to duplicate that particular background image in a single layer as separate layer. Now I just hide that house. After choosing this new duplicate layer is the image. I come to this image menu, I choose adjustments. Here. I'm going to choose this option which is threshold. When it choose the shoulder, you can able to see how it shows the entire background. It has only two colors, which is black and white. We don't have any gray tones on this option which is assured. And with the help of this threshold level adjustment, I can able to sit how I want that black and white combination on this image. You can able to see how I work with this. So I was placing like this, just want to show that entail trunk. And after that I choose, Okay. Now you can able to see those black areas or whatever career after a playing that particular appearance, I just right-click over that particular layer. I'm going to choose this last trace option so that now this is a pixel. This is not a kind of a vector object or a smart object. This is a pixel. Now, after converting that, I choose my magic wand tool. Yes, I was elected Magic Wand Tool. And I just want to select all those white pixels, what we have here. So I just choose white. Since I want to select all the white pixels. Just want to enable or disable this option which is contiguous. Now you can see I can able to select all those white pixels and I just delete that. Delete that. You can able to see that it stopped the picture area. This complete black areas are visible. On this particular picture. So you can able to see we have the black area and this is the original feature and we have additional the black area on the separate image. Now what I'm doing is I just want to move the house below that black area. And I just want to make that invisible. So this itself shows like that particular house was pleasant behind those trees. You can see that I did nothing else. I just move that layer below that black colored area that create this kind of appearance. Now, I want to do another thing because I don't want to show just the black colored appearance for those trees. Just wanted to show the original color. To do that, what I'm doing is I'm going to do on more thing. I have that particular tree here that what we have done here. I just select all those pixel colors. You can see I was having this separate layer. How black pixels? I just press control and I choose this Layers icon to select all those pixels. And that what I'm going to do is I'm going to fill white instead of black. So you can use Control Backspace to fill this background color. Or you have another way which is you can able to go for the blending option and you're gonna be able to fill the white or the black. Now, that was completely white. I was choosing this BG layer. This is BG image. This is house. I just want to give a name. This is elephant. And we have the boy here. And this is that white colored area. You can able to see that. Now what I am doing is I was duplicate the same V G major. Again. You can see I have one more layer here, and I just move that image or bow, this particular house layer. So at the top we have this duplicated BG, which now what I'm doing is I'm going to apply a layer mask. So I choose this Add Layer Mask for newly generated background image. You can see I've also added a layer mask. Then what I'm doing is I was choosing the same white pixels. You can see I press Control and a 2s, the same layer. And now I come to this, the BG image copy. I choose the mask. Remember, what I'm doing here is very simple work. I was just selected those that separated black areas. We can factor into white. And I just want to use that first election purpose only I were selected all those areas. And I come to this layer mask of this image. And I just want to fill the particular color on this, which is black. When I fill black, it will show how all the necessary areas and hide the selected areas. Here, what I want to show you, the particular image, the trunk areas. What do you want to hide? The rest of the image, this area. So what I'm doing is I was selecting this mask. After choosing this mask, I want to apply invert selection. I press Control Shift I. So apart from those shrank and other all the things other all apart from the white area I was selected. I just want to hide in this mosque. I'm going to fill the color which is black. You can see I created as the selection. So we successfully created a selection using this layer. You may keep that into black itself because we are going to use it for only selection purpose. So after created that selection, I was a change the layer selection. I come to this BG image layer. After choosing this mask, what I have done is I was converted invert selection. So when I play invert selection, that selection process automatically changed. And here we got the particular selection for this forest. So I will successfully inverted the selection and hide all those area apart from the real areas, you can able to see how it looks here. I was did nothing else. I created a very simple thing and I choose this house. You can able to place that you want. It will be always inside those trees. You can able to see till here we have worked for that layer. And you can able to see the breakdown. This is how we created a mosque. All those things, our original image pixels. Since we have created a mosque, it works perfectly. So I was having the background and house inside. In the house we can able to see I want to work some abs. I want to hide those things. So I just enter, just double-click over that layer. I just want to ensure I have all those areas into white. So I come to this mosque area. Here, I'm going to choose the pen tool. I just want to deselect those unwanted areas in the mosque was fill the black on those unnecessary areas. You can see how I was doing that. So here I have those white appearance, which is unwanted for that, for us to create disturbance over the competition. That's why I was removing the white chats. You can able to see now it's not there. You can also use the shortcut key. Or you can use a pen tool That's up to you. Based on the need, you're going to select which tool you're going to use. I know we had a lot of need of paint tool here. And you had to do the precise work. The work is going to get finished. So we have only one need here to create this direction, which is we don't need all those white pixels. That's why we are doing this work. And he'll also, I'm going to avoid all those white areas. So till this area I will selected and I was removing those white areas. They just fill black on the mask. And here also I want to hide. And here also I want to do the same thing. So we can able to see how it looks right now. And I press Control S to save this. So when I do this control S, I just close this. Those changes will be updated on this composition. We can able to see that. And I just want to remove that, the black color. I save this and close this document. So now we can able to see how it perfectly matched with this forest. And I show that those trees, what we recovered. This is how we are placing the house inside this forest. And I just want to hide those unwanted areas. I add layer mask for this house layer. Choose brush tool. I increase the brush size. And before doing this work, I just want to choose the right brush. You can see I selected the airbrush previously here also I'm going to do the same thing. I just want to use ER brush because I want to show that house for so you can able to see how we have the House on this composition. So I was edited that perfectly and I was placed where I want that house. So we can able to place either near bay the road or inside of the road. That's based on that. 12. 11 Lighting and Shadow Adjustments: In this lesson, I'm going to show you how to do lighting adjustment for this digital composition work. We have done image editing works for all those layers. Here I'm just want to do one more thing. You can see in this elephant image. I had the elephant behind the tree, but those are branches of the tree should be at the front. So to do that work, I can able to also place the elephant in this place. You can able to see how that differ to compare this one. So to do that work, what I'm going to do, I'm going to do the same work what we have done previously. So I choose this BG image, and after choosing the svg image, I just press control J. Duplicated that particular picture here. I just want this part of the image alone. I don't want the entire image. So I just choose this area. And after that, what I'm going to do is I just want to add layer mask. You can see right now, I plus all the Alt key and I click on this icon. It shows what area we have selected. So after I created this layer mask, next, what I'm going to do is I choose that option which is Image adjustments. And choose that threshold. I just want to select that image layer. So when I choose threshold, it will work. You can able to see that when I was doing this work, I just want to hide the elephant. Then only I can able to identify where I want to know what all the things I just need on the threshold. So I just come to this threshold again. You can able to see we need all those details apart from the tree. So here I need a white at this tree also. But I just want to show these things so you can able to see how we have these details. I just want to show these details. And after did this work, what I'm going to use, I just want to select those black colored pixels. Only. Just want to delete the white areas. So to delete the white area first, what I'm going to do is I just want to select my magic wand tool. I select white area. Since it's a Layer Mask, you can able to see that it's selected all those areas. That's fine. Just want to hide or just want to delete that particular picture. I just want to highlight using the black. So I just want to select this, just want to hide using black. This area only visible. Okay, This create so much of confusion. Okay, I was clear but I just want to explain you in a better way. So bear with me. I was having this appearance. So what I'm going to do and you can see I just select this busy. Maybe they just want to duplicate that layer. And I don't want to duplicate the layer. I just select this area using my selection tool. And I just want to press Control J with the help of this busy image, I will have the new MAC area. You can able to see that. So this is a separate layer, which is layer one. You can able to see we have the layer one. In this layer one, what I'm going to do is I'm going to work, I just want to hide this elephant. In this layer one. I'm going to use the same value of the threshold, whatever's used previously. To get there, I plus hold the Alt key and I come to this image adjustment and threshold. So we'll get the exact value what we got previously. I want something like this. And I got it. So this is a simple picture you can able to see, we don't have any confusion. I was actually going to use this magic one tool. I click here and I select all those white pixels and a delete that. After tilting that, what I'm going to do is I choose my freehand selection tool, which is laser tool. And here also I just want to hide those unwanted pixel areas. So I delete that actually because those areas only want to influence the elephant. Now I just show the elephant. And the elephant below this threshold values. Okay, that's not the only one that's a house layer. This is the only find. So you can able to see how that affect the particular elephant layer. So you can able to get less amount of threshold value to do that work. And you will have a closer look. You'll have opinions like this. But if you have the long view like this, will not have such an issue, can see that my next what I'm going to do, ASCO, I just want to select that elephant. This is that layer, that dark shadow layer. And now I choose the same BG media again. Just Control J. I got the new layer. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to select the first one. And I'm going to add a clipping mask. To apply clipping mask, I just use this shape to click inside this picture. I just move that layer below this picture now and let's choose clipping mask. So now you can see we have the better view. We have added a clipping mask and that create these kind of appearances. You can able to see that it looks like the data point was exactly present at the back of this tree appearance. So you can able to adjust like this. And after adding that work, I choose this elephant layer. They come to this image adjustments and brightness contrast. Here you can able to see we have more brightness and contrast. What I'm doing is I was reducing the brightness value and I was increasing the contrast value. No, it looks better for this forest background. And I was choosing this boy. I'm going to work with brightness contrast. And I want to reduce the brightness value. And it just won't decrease the contrast. This is fine. For this house also want to choose this brightness contrast. Reduce the brightness and increase the contrast. If you want to adjust the overall lighting adjustments. If you want to create the race, you can go for lens flare. We can able to use this option. And here I have TSP layer. So it will give you that appearance like a lighting over this particular image. So if you want, you can go for that. Now. Before that work, I want to create shadows for those are the elephant as well as the human being. To create shadow, what I'm doing is I was creating a new layer below other our layers. I'm going to give a name which is shadow. So after creating that layer, which is shadow here, what I'm going to do is just select the black color and the brush tool. It was adding a dark shared here. You can see how I was adding the dark share. And I'm going to do the same thing for here also. So after adding this dark shared, what I'm going to do is I'm going to choose my tool, which is a smudge tool. So the help of the Smudge tool, I'm going to use this much shadow value as a like, Well, I don't want to expand all those black colors. It can able to see how I explained that shadow. Hello, or utilize the smudge tool to create the shadow of the particular subject. As a need was expanding the black shadow. In the same way I'm going to adjust the shadow for the boy. Can see that we have a shadow here. And here you can see we have created one, the chat walk in this layer. And here I just want to hide those unwanted areas work because we have our played for the entire image here. And that's not necessarily we are going to use only for this area purpose. So what I choose this, this layer mask, choose brush tool. Choose a proper brush. I don't want that effect on all those places. So here I hide that particular layer properties. You can able to see we don't have any issue. So you can able to create shadow like this using the smudge tool. And I was created a separate layer for that, which is shadow. And I will create a shadow like this. And after creating this shadow, we can able to see, we have few more things to do. Let me show you one by one. First thing, you can able to see the elephant, the anterior elephant area. It looks like the same kind of color variation. But on the right-hand side, I need a darker appearance to compare this elephant appearance. So what I'm doing is I was choosing that elephant layer again. And I just duplicate that using Control J. Now you can able to see I had two ribbons here. In this, I choose to avoid elephants. Can able to see I have a new day which is elephant copy. And here I'm going to choose Image Adjustments, brightness, contrast. So I reduce the brightness completely. The contrast value was increasing the contrast value. Let's choose, Okay. Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to add a layer mask. After adding this layer mask, what I'm going to do is I just want to hide those shared non unnecessary areas. So I use my brush tool. Here. I don't need any Shad. On the right-hand side we need but on left-hand side we don't need right? I can able to see this is the original layer and this is an after adding the separate layer. So I choose this here, I'm going to add, now, I'm going to hide those shadows, unwanted areas. So on this left-hand side, I don't need any shared. So it was, you know, I just think one side only. So this is how it has the look right now. If you feel like you want add more shadows, you can go for a major adjustment where it has contrast. I can add some moto writers like this. And if we want to add more shadow here, I can able to show that area. Can able to see how I was sure that area. So it has the look like this and you can do the same work for the boy. Also. If you want to create the better a shared appearance, I choose that boy, I plus Control J to duplicate the layer. And I'm going to choose this option which is brightness contrast. I adjust the brightness. And after that, what I'm going to do is I'm going to choose this layer mask. I'm going to play that same thing. Just want to hide these side appearances. So you can see how it has a look. And I'm going to do the same work for this house. Also, press Control J. Now we come to this Image Adjustments, brightness contrast. You can able to hide those unwanted areas. Just hide like this. This is how you are going to adjust all those brightness contrast adjustments and shadow creation process for making this damage digital composition. If you feel we had too much on what a shadow, you can go for opacity. And it can able to reduce the shadow value. You can able to see instead of having black even add this darker appearance. But that should be the shadow. Otherwise, it will have the flat appearance like this. So that shadow make the better appearance for that elephant, as well as all the composition elements. This is how you are going to create a major digital composition using Adobe Photoshop CC 2022. Now at the end, I just want to add just a few color adjustments. Let me show you how to do that in upcoming lesson. 13. 12 Colour Corrections for Image Composition: Hi, in this lesson, it's a final one. I'm going to show you how to do the final color announcement for this image digital composition. You can see I have multiple layers for that. We have the bi-layer here with the Shad. Know what I'm doing is I was managing both layers. Before doing that work, you should make the new copy of the document. Since if you need a, you cannot regain back those layers. So what I am doing is I just merge these two layers. Shad one, the normal one plus Control E to merge both. So it was merged and I have a single layer, just the boy and I was having the house. I just want to press Control E to merge. And I was having the house the same way I was having the elephant want to merge and I was having only the elephant. I don't want to match that. That shadow. This background layer is unnecessary. You can see how we have the current image, digital composition. This is, you can see that the mosque one, after I having all those changes, now, I'm going to do the color correction. Remember, we have two ways to do final color correction work for this digital composition. First one, you have to change the individual objects colors according to the environment. Second, you have to change the environment color according to this particular object. Let me show you both things, how to do that work. So to do that, what I'm going to do is I just want to duplicate the same document. So I just right-click on it, choose Duplicate. Now you can able to see I had two documents here. This is the source and this source file copy. Let us do the color correction first with this source file. So here what I'm going to do is I'm going to change the subject color, those elephant and the boy and the house color to match with this forest color. Through that, what I'm going to do first they choose this elephant and I press Control U. When I press Control U, you can able to see I got hue and saturation color correction value. And in this elephant you can able to see we have the hue. And in this queue you will have the elephants somewhere nearby. This the brown area here. I just want to adjust that. And we have the color wheel in this linear appearance. I want to increase the values. We have another way, or you can use either hue and saturation. You can able to use the option which is color balance. In color balance, you can able to see we have more magenta. I'm going to increase the green to neutralize that with the background. You can see how I increase green. When you increase the green, you can able to see how it neutralize with the background that matches. And this is the Jira is so original one. So to neutralize that, I just increased the green and I just increase this Sian. When I increase those colors that automatically neutral that elephant with this background, you can able to see that the same way I was choosing this boy. And I'm going to choose the color balance. You can see in this boy, how mode a red value, the same time he was having more L0 value. So I want to neutralize that by increasing the opposite colors. I increase blue value. And I'm going to increase this. Then also, we can able to neutralize his colors using that. You can live how you want that color change. And finally, I'm going to choose this house. So I choose the house. I choose the same option, which is brightness contrast, not a brightness contrast, color balance. And here also I'm going to do the same. I just won't work. It has more magenta. Was increasing the green value. When I increase the green value and adjust this blue value, we can able to see how that perfectly match with this forest. This is how we are going to change the subject color according to this particular neuron. This is the first way you can able to see the difference between this pitcher, the, after I've done this color correction work, we have this and this is the original one. And after completing this work, I was moving to the second document here. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to change the environment color towards those subjects colors. I choose this, the BG image. First. After choosing this BG image, I come to the Image, menu adjustments. And here I'm going to use my color balance. So I can able to get what color I need. I can able to adjust the mentioned that value. If I just imagined that value can able to see how the tone from the warm color tones, cool. I had just this blue value and this C on. So what's changed the environment appearance? As I record, it looks more blue. Choose, Okay. And after choosing the okay, I need a theme color value for this BJ image copy also, you can able to see that. So I choose that layer plus old Alta key image adjustments and I choose same color balance. You can able to see how we have that value here. So I'm going to use the same kind of value for this also. I just show that they come to this image adjustments, color balance. So here I'm going to adjust the exact values, what I want to add just so you can able to see how I can able to adjust the environment color based on my need of the subject. Here, you can able to see I changed the color of those subjects, the boy elephant and the house. And here it was changed the color of those, the elephant and not elephant, the background and this trace appearances. So it's based on your need. Based on your needs, you are going to change the colors how you want. And if you want, yes, you can go for further color corrections. I'm going to use the color balance here. I'm going to adjust the more blue and see on based color adjustments. For my need. This is how we are doing the color correction work for this image composition using this Adobe Photoshop. If you want to create some lighting, feel for this, you can do that work. Let me show you how to do that. It just duplicate this background image. I move that above all other layers. I just rasterize that layer. And I'm going to choose this filters. Filters. Before that, I want to add threshold value. You can see how I was reading that threshold. After adding this assured, what I'm going to do is I'm going to choose Filter Blur. And I'm going to choose this radial blur. In radial blur you can able to see I had two options. First one is spin, second one is Zoom. I choose a zoo. I can able to place the position of the center point where I want. I can able to place here. And I set that value from some value to a 100. I can see how you want to choose, okay? Now, you can able to see that effect processes going on. I will get that effect here. So it creates a blur value. You can see how it looks. It looks really good. Now what I can do is I can use my blending mode. I can able to apply that blending mode to this composition. You can able to see in this screen how we have this, the entire composition. I can also do that in another way. Before adding that radial blur. What I'm going to do is I press Control. I, when I press Control, you can able to see I got Inverse selection. So after getting this inverse selection, what I'm going to do is I choose my magic one tool. I just click the black color and I delete all the black colors from the picture. Now I'm going to use this, you know, my radial blur. I will have the appearance like this. You can able to see how we have only white pixels that create the radial blur for this composition. So this will create some, raise, some light rays like a valence. It can able to see that. So since we don't have any black, It's easy to adjust the opacity itself. And you can able to use this blending option in a better way. You can see that when you have the black, it gives you more, better result. So this is why you need, if you want, you can use it. You can able to create all those appearances using this option which is radial blur. So I was left that. So in this two ways, you can able to create this kind of image compositions. You can able to do image editing, image placement, image color corrections, image shadow creation. And finally, you can able to adjust the colors based on the subject, as well as based on the environment. Using this Adobe Photoshop CC 2022.
