How To Blend Images Together and Create Realistic Composites In Photoshop

[@welshdragon2008]

What can I say? You are a Genius and you seem like a very genuine guy. Just so clever.

[@tommygunrunner4656]

Hands down most comprehensive tutorials on KZbin. Elegant workflow as well. Thanks Jesus!

[@Cedarsea]

This might well be one of your best videos in revealing "how to" do compositing!

[@photoshopeandotv]

I can only imagine how much work goes into making these videos. The techniques are great, but your clear, precise explanations and well-timed rythm don't lag behind. So... congratulations once more! Cheers.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Photoshopeando! Only people who also record tutorials really know the amount of work that goes into them.

[@TanyaAbah]

This is the best tutorial I've found. We have a lot of similar tutorials which offer easy ways but you choose the hardest, the most detailed, and perfect procedures.

[@JMTBFLOW]

I've watched a few of these compositing vids now, but this one is by far the best for covering all the steps.

[@Webkaster]

Fantastic ... Jesus Ramirez is absolutely the best Photoshop Instructor on the web!! I learn more per minute with you than any other. Watched several and somehow you get through ... thank you.

[@kwiechufithu]

With other photoshop tutorial channels(on youtube), it's mostly a revision of what I already know. But with yours, there is always something new to learn about, making me feel like a beginner. And to be honest, some of the steps are hard to remember without following along in the editing process. I guess this is what other instructors' premium classes teach you. Thank you!

[@K_Dunks]

The "blend if" blending is still the most mind-blowing thing I've seen here.

[@mrexcet]

These check up layer you create are extremely valuable for getting every little detail right when putting pictures together. The human eye is fantastic to see even the slightest mismatch, even when you can't tell what it actually is. So with these three layers chances are great the end result will actually be believable. Millions of thanks for all your amazing tips you give away.

[@freddievaldez6587]

Where was Jesús back in the 80s? I really needed him back then, he could have been my teacher.... :) Now as a senior I'm watching his channel and find in learning more hands on advice than my "Photoshop WoW" books could offer...

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

I was a baby in the 80s 😂 But I'm glad you are enjoying my videos now. Also, I may or may not be working on a book 😉 Thanks for the comment, Freddie.

[@Mr_Archimedes]

I believe - you and Marty Geller of BLTV, you are the best TEACHERS. I don't say "best photoshop masters", because "teaching" for me is a step ahead of knowing or mastering something! Thank you very much - and if in the future will ask some "symbolic patron money", i will give you through my heart,...because,...i m not student,...or soldier in the war,...or grandpa...or whatever people are when comes the time to pay. People with "no money", but rich on excuses. Thanks again!

[@AhmedWissam]

i cant stop clicking your videos im addicted to them thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@hblf4407]

Fabulous explanation of keys stuff in Photoshop : luminosity, saturation and color. Thank you Jesus.

[@georgecharpentier6043]

These were all new to me, but fascinating to understand what you need to look at, and how to go about making the adjustments. Thank you.

[@cody4077]

I come back to this video every time. I try one of your other videos, but this one takes the cake!!

[@jan_deno8175]

I like your way of presenting. very clear and focused on the topic under discussion. Doesn't try to muddle up the topic by bringing up sub issues.

[@AkiGamingTech]

Amazing tutorial.

[@mahsab9736]

This is so complete and obvious explanation of setting the color of images in a great way,thanks a lot

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

You're welcome, Mahsa!

[@netinfluencer]

This was tough but very good lesson. I have to practice several times to learn. Very good!

[@UltraD52]

I never knew how to use those adjustment layers. Thanks

[@МарияБугай-д3ч]

Спасибо огромное за урок!!! Это просто супер!!! Мне никак не удавалось подогнать изображения из разных фотографий к единому знаменателю, чтоб это было реалистично. Теперь мне наконец-то стало все понятно!!!

[@dougstringer5358]

Putting together actions for each of these three checks makes this a nice tool to use for composites. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@videosbykeno]

I've watched this video every time i make something! This is the best video on youtube!!

[@johnnyroxx8513]

Imagine being a professional in photoshop 11years removed due to illness coming back to 2022 version.Memory is bad and you have to relearn and memory snaps give you an image of the compositions you have done so easy. This is me. God has given me a gift in what I USED TO LOVE TO DO,BECAUSE MY OTHER LOVES,GUITAR 58 YEARS PLAYING AND MODELING HAVE BEEN MORE OR LESS REMOVED. At least I have now something to challenge me in my last decade of life. GOD IS GOOD!

[@CosminSerbanDesign]

It's always weird when you can tell right away when an image is made out of two separate ones, your result looks great. Keep these videos coming!

[@Browes]

The best compositing video I've found, no question!

[@guntherstopa2088]

Of all the tutorials I've seen yours are, by far, the very best. Thanks.

[@BrettOssman]

Great tutorial as usual. They may seem hard, at first, but doing it a couple of times, you start to remember, and zip right through it.

[@TIGREX-GAMING]

Hi, trust u are doing great pls?, I pray for u anytime I come across your wonderful videos since the very first day u announced your health issue and am eager to see u healthy and strong once again, you have done great work to help a lot of people like me and am grateful for your awesome teachings and wish greatness for u 🙏🙏🙏

[@Tommo020788]

That saturation mapping technique was new to me. Thanks

[@milleniummoses]

That was completely new to me. My skill level just went up! Thanks

[@rgarlinyc]

Yowzer! That was a *spectacular* end result - far better than I ever thought possible. You've (once again) explained a series of intricate steps extremely well! I will use *all three* techniques for my composites. Thanks a ton, Jesús!

[@arikowidtrash7074]

thank you for ur free tutorial, very helping to me who is student and doesnt have enough money to get an paid course

[@MrTerryRay1]

This was great, but very overwhelming. This is over my head. I can follow what you are doing, but if I practiced this myself on my photos I wouldn't know if what I was doing is correct. I need more practice to understand this kind of advanced editing.

[@TeresaTrimm]

You can't expect to learn it all at once. I watch a variety of videos. As I watch them, I understand more and more. One video will VERY rarely be enough.

[@TeresaTrimm]

That being said, this video is not for beginners, but in all honesty, neither is compositing. I look forward to being able to do the things described in it.

[@mikedelossantos4775]

Don't despair. I started this journey in PicsArt on my phone and literally felt like it was a another language with a million useless options I'd never use. 10 months later, I was switching to Photoshop bc picsart simply didn't have enough features lol. Every time you learn one tool, it adds to your overall knowledge and you'll be able to link themes. Before yoy know it you'll ve predicting what hes about to do before he does it. My advice: every tutorial, do it a few times and take the time to understand what each step is actually doing, so eventually yoy can mix and match as needed

[@scottjanulewicz6774]

I've been researching this topic over the past few days and this one was the clearest and very well put together. Thank you.

[@adrianokury]

Excellent lesson: pace is correct, depth of info given is adequate, this guy speaks very clearly and the concept of the tutorial is also well executed. Super thumbs up!

[@h3w45]

this is still the best tutorial in 2020.

[@GuyDalma]

This is an excellent tutorial: the voice is clear, the explanations are understandable, Thank you Jesus for your tutorials that are among the best!

[@BrandonStill]

This is the best composite tutorial I've come across to date. Outstanding job taking the time to explain on the various Photoshop tools work together and what they effect in the image. Great job!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Brandon!

[@HyBlock]

The end result looks like a GTA loading screen. 😊

[@HyBlock]

@Stefan Trevor go fuck yourself

[@HyBlock]

@Cash Creed go fuck yourself

[@IliaCinema]

Thanks for the tutorial! I have two questions: 1) You raised the darkest parts of foreground to correspond the background. Shouldn't we make the final adjustment to the result image and make the darkest pixels black? 2) In photography there's a rule that the foreground objects should be darker than the background. It helps to create a feeling of the depth of the image. Shouldn't we follow this rule and leave foreground a little darker? Thank you!

[@AaronThompkins]

THE BEST COMPOSITING TUTORIAL I've seen thus far!!! Thanks!!!

[@firatsanliturk]

Hugely helpful tutorial. Many thanks. The only input I may have would be about the necessity to blur any sharp edges (her outlines in this instance). In real life it is very difficult to find a perfectly sharp edge (2D objects such as paper or razor don't count). All edges of all 3D objects are beveled to some degree so that's what the human eye looks to see especially when perspective (foreground and background) is involved. Using the Blur Tool on any edges creates a nice anti-aliasing effect which makes the scene much more realistic. Light refracts and scatters while passing near an edge and blurring gives the same effect. Your eye unconsciously looks for that effect unless you are a hawk or something...

[@jerrytang9514]

Totally Ph.D. Level content. Thank you so much. I won't find this level of expertise anywhere else.

[@govindnair20]

Amazing tutorial Jesus!! I'm not a professional designer but I really enjoy the level of detail you go into in each of your videos. Very helpful while editing the photos I take. Thank you so much!!!

[@MrOnetwoseven]

None were totally new individually but the combination of all 4 adjustments was totally awesome. As usual, wonderfully explained and so helpful to my workflow.

[@hypersapien]

Gotta love wearing your raincoat on a sunny LA day

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

👍🙂

[@tanyamack1481]

You really know this program! You make it seem so effortless! So nice that these videos are here in case we ever need them.

Great tutorial, will need to repeat few times in order to accomplish my goal. Thank You very much.

[@Makeveliii]

This is an amazing tutorial, very well explained and demonstrated. I honestly can't like this enough, I've been designing for years and never knew I could use adjustment layers in this way. I will definitely be using these techniques more frequently in my designs, this information is so valuable thank you!

[@johnnyvenancio4186]

You are the Best! Congratulations, directly from Brazil!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Johnny!

[@danielhall9903]

Wow great job. I've been spending time on other channels who's explanations are not even close to being as technical as yours. I've learned more by watching this one video than in 4months of others. Thanks, subscribed and on notice.

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Daniel!

[@lyrastar999]

​@@PhotoshopTrainingChannel i learned most of my ps knowledge from Deke McClelland from Lynda.com. He's very technical in his approach too. I think he would really appreciate your techniques.

[@EmmanuelThemba]

You deserve million views

[@MortenSchouenborg]

Great tutorial - even for those of us who use Affinity Photo - thanks!

[@dimitridehouck9506]

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, brunopoplocker!

[@maximusdoomed]

Wow, just found you by accident. Extremely helpful and articulate discussion about the how and why of each process in the most concise way. One of the best video demos on youtube!!!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@safamuric2054]

I am grateful for your channel.

[@evelynhuante2768]

THIS IS AMAZING, I CANT EVEN DESCRIBE HOW AMAZED I AM BY ALL THE HACKS :00 I like how you explain the steps!! A little bit confusing but overall great. There was so much useful tools I didn't know their function; but ofc bc I'm a newbie to photoshop so I only use the essentials haha

[@BrianSellers]

This is so cool! Never made a composite look so good - thanks!

[@kenosis1]

Dude, you're awesome. Nuff said.

[@DrazV2]

Learning so much and so well in these short, cohesive and super informative videos. I love how you always manage to explain a what some obscure button does and then switch to using shortcuts once you've explained what they do. These videos are much appreciated, huge thank you!

[@VlatkoDojchinoski]

Thank you for every single tutorial you have made!

[@mft4]

Always look forward to your tutorials.

[@TrollHoleStudios]

All 4 and I will be using this in the future! Thanks for sharing!

You're a good teacher! This was my first video, but your explanation makes plenty of sense to me! I look forward to trying this method on my images. Thx! Bowtie

[@cenadj]

simply fabulous! Very well explained

[@venomgold]

This video taught me a lot for my youtube channel I'm doing

[@sebastienbate4511]

seems a bit difficult , but I've learned a lot thanks !

[@charlydue]

Great!!! I was actually struggling to match all this three aspects. In virtual reality this point is a must.

[@nirajfilms1040]

there is so much in your video that I can learn... thank you so much to put these techniques together your tutorials helped a lot sir thank you so much sir...

[@oconnor8615]

1. Using the black and white to avoid the hue and saturation, then call for the curve for the brightness adjustment. 2. Using the selective color, dragging all the color channels to zeros and dragging white, midtones and black to its max value , then invoke the Hue/saturation adjustment to get the better saturation illustration. 3. Using the solid color with luminosity and color mode to filter the color that will be adjusted by the selective layer to the original background.

[@muralinarayanan6805]

Thank you, Jesus, for the awesome tutorial.To me the final finishing touches were new.

[@nicholascuccia6399]

Simply mind-blowing!

[@JohnChubbSr]

Pretty much all this is new, and now I see will be very helpful for compositing, which is an area I want to learn more. Lots of information and informative, Jesus. Thanks!!!

[@maxhermans4111]

Fantastic tutorial.I will pass your channel on to others. Very well done.

[@orianaguzzardi3583]

VERY useful and clear! Well done!

[@PhotoshopTrainingChannel]

Thank you, Oriana!

[@lyrastar999]

i've been doing a similar thing but in my own haphazard way, just by eye, but this tutorial is a much more detailed, systematic way to match selections to bg imgs. i will watch one more time when i've actually got PS open so I can follow along. great tutorial!

[@lyrastar999]
