Digital Collage in Photoshop

[@catseyes11]

5 Years after this vid was made, and currently 2 years into college for Multimedia Communications, and this is still one of my favorite instructional videos for creating digital collage in PS! Obviously PS has updated a lot and things like selecting and masking are much faster and easier, (and of course we now have generative fill) but still, the excellent, and perfectly paced, step-by-step technical instruction, along with giving us the understanding of what basic artistic compositional elements we should be paying attention to and including, is truly awesome. Thanks again Rob!

@@robcolvin4871 can you explain me how or what I need to do when I want to copy and paste?

[@robcolvin4871]

Ellen, Command C on a Mac or Control C for a PC will copy. Command V on a Mac or Control V on a PC will paste. If you want to duplicate a layer- select that layer and do Command J on a Mac or Control J on a PC.

i wanna try this tutorial , where can i find these images ........... very enthusiastic n wanna go on in this direction

[@robcolvin4871]

I found these images online searching through public domain images using the specific item name I was looking for, like "public domain taro card" image, or wiki art has thousands of public domain images. You can search by subject.

Do you recommend this version of photoshop for beginners? I do analogue collage and want to get into digital, but I am not very familiar with photoshop

[@robcolvin4871]

I taught myself Photoshop. I found it very intuitive and easy to learn. There are so many tutorials online to help you learn new aspects. I use the latest version of Photoshop with a subscription. I just started playing with it about 12 years ago and I still find new and better ways of doing things. Thanks for the question and good luck.

What is the meaning behind this particular artwork?

[@robcolvin4871]

I had no particular meaning for it, it was basically an evolution of imagery that came together as I created this tutorial on how to do collage in Photoshop. Thanks for asking.

[@xiiixviiiw]

Any art is child's play, no fucking meaning! Just mere play, fun, and sometimes drama !

How can I find some vintage images like from 20's century :< I'm newbie. Thank you a lot

[@whiskeyblack806]

Google "Public Domain Images"

[@smarteydelux]

You'll find a lot of public domain images at metmuseum.org if you use the filter "Open access" (I think it is safer than pixabay or other sites with public domain images - because you never now, if the uploader is the copyright-holder of the image)
