3 Ways to Add Depth to Your Composite in Photoshop!

Discover 3 Effective Techniques to Un-Flat Your Composite and Add Depth in Photoshop! In this lesson, we will start with learning how to match the color and the lighting, and then cover concepts like interaction with light and depth-of-field to make the subject blend naturally with the background.
Whether it is a simple two-image composite or a full-blown photo manipulation artwork with hundreds of elements, these core fundamental techniques will not change and apply to most situations. I hope you enjoy this video. Thank you so much for watching :)

Besides being handsome and talented, you are one of the BEST teachers! Your tutorials are always clear and perfectly explained. I can’t wait to use these tips on blending my subjects in composites.

[@PWirth]

I just love him

[@ThanosMatsoukasOfficial]

Ok, I have a really solid experience working with photoshop and doing photo manipulation for many years. I have watched hundreds of tutorials and I have tried plenty of variations to find the golden rule. But this tutorial, the tips and tricks this guy gives, is a masterpiece. I feel humble. Thank you!

[@erickcuba4139]

You're the master. Simple as that, no discussion

[@fernandocriativo3d74]

Hi Unimesh, thanks for sharing. I am a 3D Artist and to increase immersion in my 3D images I used to add cutout people, and was very challenging to match them precisely. Your tutorials are very easy to understand and go directly to the point. Thanks a lot!

[@marvelousmrsnunya]

Thank you for explaining everything in such detail and not skipping any steps, even if they are repetitive! It's so important to understand a reasonable workflow 🙏

[@Regular_guy]

I agree, I don't care if an instruction is repeated. It serves as a review.

[@samueluche5179]

Unmesh Dinda, in just 2 months of watching all your videos from way-back, I have become a better photo editor. Nobody does it better than you in youtube right now. Thanks for all you do and represent, We keep creating!

[@diptanshuminim5164]

"Without further ado, lets get started" oh boi oh boi, one of the coolest [greatest] intro lines ever.

[@WayneInBlood]

THIS is why you will reign supreme in the internet. Thank you for sharing your mega talent and calm wonderful teaching to the masses!

[@matomoscos5018]

Amazing video as always Unmesh! Especially the intro, I was having a bad day but you always help me make it an awesome one :)

[@glennmalbrancke4939]

Awesome tutorial .... again. I try all of you're tutorials and i must say they all are amazing. Thanks for the lessons. Could you maybe do one about perspective in compositions, how to put people in the right perspective ? You're the best !

[@ramarao9840]

0.44 to 0.49 most practicable advice✌️

[@bbrixon]

I wish that I would've found this in 2014 when I did my first photography session with composites. This would've made those photos look way better than they turned out. Thank you!

[@StephenBridgett]

The more I follow you Unmesh the more I learn and the more I realize how little I know. How do you keep this stuff in your brain. Many thanks, you have solved more processing problems for me than I can remember or count.

[@AIYINOFFICIAL]

Creating a duplicate of the background and clipping it to the character with a blur was absolute genius .... I love this guy

[@celiad-ff4cp]

Your videos keep getting better and better! I love watching you explain these techniques.

[@michelleh1464]

thank you so much. I learned a lot from this. I now know how to us field blur now by adding the zero spots first and then the actual blur! Keep up the great videos. ♥

[@gyrthez246]

I was actually in the middle of my own composite that puts a greater emphasis on distance between objects and subjects when I saw this in my feed, it's almost like you read my mind...

[@youknowme850]

Everytime watching your videos helps me to polish my photoshop skills more and more... Thank you so much for your hard work...

[@mariomifsud1302]

You are a real Master, well explained and in clear English. Thanks for sharing.

[@rogerio8710]

O melhor e mais generoso professor de Photoshop que o KZbin pode ter, muito obrigado por tudo.

[@taylorhirth6000]

This is super helpful. What I really would love to see is how to alter lighting of subjects to match composites.

[@ayanmaniyeva2375]

thank you very much! you've taught me everything I needed!

[@lloydkjose9839]

Thank you for revising this concept.

[@marklutnes935]

it was so fun to practice, and your explanation amazing and so easy to understand, thanks for make this tutorials, now i feel more comfortable to match different images

[@Dartheomus]

That depth of field sealed the deal. I was hung up on the fact that he could not be that crisp with that much bokeh in the back. That blur trick made all the difference. Thanks as usual! :)

[@vacoulterYOU]

As always, a WONDERFUL set of useful info, and the presentation is edited in ever-effective tightening to save our time! * Another consideration for atmospheric light is to use a different one of the 1000 techniquues .... AVERAGE blur instead of gaussian so that his face receives the GOLDEN light of what is surrounding him at his "altitude" instead of grey/black of the background sky.

[@theakstudios8437]

Yet another amazing tutorial!
