That was an awesome video.

[@srikkanth-tech]

I was working on a photo and at about 6:20 when you were saying there are two ways to match color, I was praying you would match the subject with the background and not the other way.. Glad it worked out that way :)

[@isabellopez4909]

Another gem. Color matching looks great. Will try it soon. Thanks🥰

[@JimSewell]

Thanks Colin. I hadn't seen Match Color explained this well and it's very powerful and when combined with blur... brilliant.

Thanks for this information, it’s very useful and interesting.

[@RobertAfrick]

Great tutorial...

[@jimjwitt]

Thanks, Colin. Great video. Prior to seeing this, I would have used the Harmonization Neural Filter to do this type of matching. Do you have any comments on the comparison of these 2 methods?

[@photoshopcafe]

I’ve done a tutorial on harmonization. Currently I prefer match color because of the control. The ai filter is good sometimes, but it’s hit and miss

[@DebbieGould-u4l]

Very helpful and beautifully explained, thank you. Debbie

[@MarkHamer-j3d]

Thanks Colin really good video, do you think in the near future you could do a composite of say 5 or 6 images at once say like a movie poster? Thanks in Advance. Mark

[@photoshopcafe]

Sure, I’ll keep than in mind

[@SinaFarhat]

Nice! :)

[@photoshopcafe]

Thx

Excellent job. Small caveat. The city is in early morning light; the young woman in afternoon-ish light. To get closer to morning light, I use a cyan filter. Default is 25%, which is usually too much, so I just adjust until it has the right feel. So I would do the light transformations after applying a slight filter. At low levels, a cyan filter can be used to take the "heat" out of a shot because it is a very similar colour temperature to the sky. PS: Any word yet on when or if Photoshop will add the "remove reflections" filter?

[@photoshopcafe]

Thanks for the tip. No word yet. Fingers crossed

Hi Colin really appreciate your vids. This one has hiss in the audio. Like an old cassette tape. Not sure why this is happening for you coz we discussed it previously but I thought I’d mention. It’s not actually a problem but given other channels have pretty good audio I thought I’d mention it

[@photoshopcafe]

It’s the ac. Right now we are having a heatwave. But I’ll look T ways to filter it in the future, maybe parametric eq. The reduce noice makes the voice sound too metallic

"Combining and matching photos in Photoshop 2024 is a breeze for beginners-just use layers, blend modes, and adjustment tools to seamlessly merge images and create cohesive compositions."

[@jacekfreyer2784]

I have a question: is there any graphic theory that requires the shadows used in graphics to be turned left down?

[@dickinsoncattle]

Seems like the light angle is still off by about 90 degrees. The light hitting the buildings is coming from the right forward of the photographer, but the light on woman is from the right and behind the photographer. How would you go about fixing this discrepancy?

[@joegoodman1895]

Colin, Ive watched several of your videos on combining images but for some reason that I don't understand. Everytime I try to drag one image into the other by pulling the image up into the tab of the other with my mouse still depressed, when I let the dragged image go with my mouse, it simply replaces the other image in the layers panel. I have watched your videos several times and time after time, when I drag the image to the tab of the other, they two images are not combined or appearing as two separate layers but I have only one image and not combination. Help! I am obviously doing something wrong but I can't figure out what it is. I'll be looking forward to hearing from you....and thanks in advance!

[@photoshopcafe]

Maybe this will help, here are different ways to combine images: photoshopcafe.com/combine-different-images-blend-layers-photoshop-5-ways/

[@luzmery57]

that is fine for 2 photos but when you want to merger around 50 photos in one?

[@richarddepinay2256]

I do appreciate the technique. Apparently, no one is mentioning it, but I found the light orientation terrible. The background light comes from the 2 O’clock position. The light on the model is from the 5 O’clock position. It doesn’t match at all. I found this composite looking awfully fake. Again, I appreciate the technique, but it still looks awful.

[@WanderFeetChronicles]

For Colin’s purpose. Ta is a colloquial term for thanks. Generally Liverpool.

[@photoshopcafe]

@@WanderFeetChroniclesta for that :) we say it in New Zealand too :) haven’t heard it in a long time though
