How to Match Light & Color for Composites Photoshop | Day 28

[@EdNorty]

I swear to god, somebody should do this for Premiere and After-Effects. Just 30 Days of general principles. Amazing series, PHLEARN!

[@daveyrichards7229]

this!!! if anyone knows of one or has done one themselves please share!!!

[@AhmedBatenga]

well, you get the same tools in all platforms, so you just need to try it out... -Or you could look up Andrew Kramer, Film Riot (to name a few) as they go through this process in their VFX tutorials... -And there are a lot of color grading tutorials out there, that go through shot matching, also matching footage from different cameras...

[@lancelenoir2875]

Take a break, come back and look at it again. The best advice in the video!!

[@aaidren]

Lance Lenoir so true.

[@TheGamingChad.]

yup, every single time i look at it after taking a break, i also notice something off

[@abacus912]

same for any type of art or design really.

[@owatito]

One of the most impressive tutorials so far!

[@mikevandekerkhof8595]

this 30 days of photoshop has been soooo helpfull! i've already learned so much from it. Thank you!

[@Exevium]

I've seen several videos on compositing, but your process is by far (!) the easiest to work with. Thank you!

[@mariolinton]

Very good & helpful for this photoshop novice! I have issues with color recognition, but Aaron’s method helps the best! I actually can make a believable composite this way!! Thank you Aaron

[@CharlesSweigart]

Good video as usual. Will you show how to add her missing shadow to match the tree shadow?

[@johnrogers001]

Color and light matching is what I've struggled with. This is very helpful!

[@robertwhitemoto]

Hard to believe you are doing this for free! Thanks Aaron, this PS newbie is learning a lot.

[@davidmurphy7847]

LOVE this 30 day series! I will refer back to these tutorials often.

[@SirkaneonuS]

The success of this depends a lot on the cut out subject first.

[@mohamedabdelhady4508]

ThanQ Aaron ! You have no idea the amount of frustration I go through everytime I come to this point in my composite !

[@raymondkosos]

More good stuff! Thanks PHLEARN! I don't do a lot of compositing, but when I have I've always felt like things didn't "match up" quite right ... I'm bookmarking this for next time ... and I'll have these Light & Color tips in my back pocket ...!

[@dominikwodarczak8410]

I think you should add the shadow from model on ground too. I really do like your "how to do" series.

[@terre-britton]

Excellent tutorial. Thank you, PHLEARN!

[@ilonaalter1622]

This episode was really helpful. Thank you for showing this technique!

[@madhusoodanshimoga5725]

Great tutorial. Specially retaining little extra at the feet along with shadow from the original image and then cloning was something unique and fantastic. I do a lot of compositing and used struggle in creating natural looking shadows. Thanks a ton for this tip.

[@ThomasRuhlandPhotography]

Excellent. I wanted to send you my first attempt following those steps, but couldn't not find out how. Anyway, thanks for the 30 days, really really really helpful.

[@batsobida1466]

Hi, will you make another video of how you will add jewelry on a model and how to match the light & color? I haven't seen a lot of tutorials like that. I love the way you teach. Very interesting.. Thanks Aaron!

[@noskillnochill]

Excellent! another trick i like to use is to do a really gently gradient of shadow, pulling some color from the tree to create the shadow color (if it makes sense for the subject to be in shadow at all).

[@walterjacobs5280]

Very nice, can't wait to use this with pictures of my own. Thanks!!

[@harishnetam502]

thanks for such wonderful free course!

[@AntonioTotaroGuitar]

[@TD-rl7mi]

[@The_Daliban]

1:07 hey thanks for the tutorial. It would be really helpful if you could also say why we do x. that makes it easier to keep in mind and make the connections. keep it up!

[@khemsochenda6939]

Thanks; love your works!

[@kixwho]

5:00 so good

[@mattys3248]

[@alexandrugrecov8964]

Very useful as always.

[@bmazephoto5942]

Great tips Aaron,

[@mayankjr3030]

thank you mr stark.

[@ItalianMama52]

I needed this! Thank you!

[@lynnpenelope7941]

amazing video! Thanks a lot. just want to know how you got back the white box next to the subject thumbnail towards the end of the video

[@wlk3607]

soooo helpful! thank you!

[@Thesotochannelblock]

At 7:40, you added something to the layer of the subject but didn't explain how. When i add a layer it clips above her. what kind of layer did you add to be in the subjects same layer? thanks

[@bthnbgdt]

It's layer mask and while working on a layer mask make sure you have selected the white small screen and then bring up your brush tool with colour black then begin to brush mask.

[@emrahy.849]

very professional..thnx

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Great video

[@ChrisSmithFW]

Amazing. Thank you.

[@SleshRh]

Incrível, que conhecimento adquiri hoje. Muito obrigado.

[@FoxicEditz]

amazing :)

[@markscureman5278]

Alternative shortcut for creating a clipping mask is to Alt + click (Cmd + click on a Mac?) on the border between the two layers.

[@terre-britton]

Very handy. Thanks!

[@adolfousiermarketstars6765]

great one ❤

[@ricardourroz9322]

Great video, thanks. You just missed her shadow on the ground. The tree has it, she didn´t hehe

[@jasirjp7573]

you are great mahn Ha!

[@Daddy4rime]

Aaron, great stuff! Question for you; Why did you stop using a Wacom tablet?

[@aliinvestor1339]

It was really awesome. BUT I couldn't catch what you did in 7:46. Please, guide me with that

[@katarzynanowak9802]

Same problem here.

[@Prydz117]

on the smart object layer, create a layer mask "the icon with a circle inside a rectangle, paint with a black color brush to disapper the rock from beneth the foot". Be careful in the previous class we changed the mode on layer mask make sure you have it in normal mode

[@ironarrow1114]

Help please...Why do my photo go darker (like black and white) when i change mode to saturation on a color fill layer? I am a beginner and i thank you a million for posting this 👍

[@simomonster]

Thank you Aaron

[@ramonsohal2404]

How does this compare to the "Image > Adjustments > Match Color" feature of PS? Is there a reason to try and match colors manually/eyeballing it? Just curious!

[@cartoon_kidsworldusa33]

You are great BOSS

[@gowthamslife]

Superb Bro... But just one small mistake... And that's my doubt too... How to keep the shadow of that girl in the direction of the shadow of that tree...

[@Mr09260]

Sossusvlei Namibia ..superb

[@TeamCreightney]

thank you!

[@Dragonemperess]

Thankies!!!

[@katarzynanowak9802]

Can anyone tell me what Aaron is doing at 7:41? What did he click?

[@Prydz117]

[@pritamsinghuk]

[@prolapsha]

I can't understand how Aaron creates a new layer on a smart object layer(((. Can you please explain me hooow

[@jasonng3239]

Waiting for this. Haha

[@mehmetbengi]

Thanks Aaron Nace

[@daniellab4795]

[@olahantonio2561]

[@taongameja4453]

[@vesperatrades]

PIXIMPERFECT IS A BAD CHANNEL I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS MORE THAN THAT

[@ronlangager404]

How do you know you need to pull the blues and greens out of the shadows?

[@nito_ds]

Trial, error and experience is the only way. With his many years of experience he knows exactly which colours to change like it's a second nature.

[@MellieIRL]

You had me until the color balance :/ How did you know which ones to push and pull???

[@peledudok]

due illness i'm running behind, for how long will this "30 days of photoshop" stay online for free?

[@phlearn]

Forever! You can find all of the 30 Days on both PHLEARN and KZbin.

[@jacobcarter609]

It wont let me select black and white

[@noyb154]

only problem is the background has light coming from the left, and the subject has light coming fro the right.

[@MohammedJamal-lv1dj]

flip it ?

[@jonathancomer1185]

Is anybody else thinking, why wasn't this series called 60 Days of Photoshop? What are we going to do when it's over?

[@jonathancomer1185]

Dan Diehm Yep, good idea. Just subscribed 👍

[@davedee6745]

Why would the person need to match the desert color? They are a person and not a bunch of sand. They're not supposed to be the same color or brightness.

[@mistrzjuliusz9372]

blending is good, but for some reason it still looks off, why?

[@nito_ds]

I think it's due to two reasons. First of all, you know the person has been edited into the photo. So you know it's not real. Someone who hasn't seen the photo before might not immediatly notice that it isn't real. And secondly, light and shadow are super important. When the direection of your light source of the subject edited into the photo don't exactly match the ones of the original photo, then it always looks off. So basically if you want to add something into your picture, it's always better/easier to add something that has got the light source coming from a similar direction. You can try and mimic this of course (making parts darker/lighter on your subject), but the results might not be so great. I hope this helps :)

[@aux_anges]

Because he didn't match the perspective. The subject and the landscape are photographed from different angles so she looks like she's hovering. Another issue is the shadow. The tree casts one, the subject doesn't.

[@StellaMariaGiulia]

She casts no shadow, though. Easy fix

[@xavilicious]

You’re goin way too fast my bro! 🙏🏽🤍

[@OscarCuriel]

Hi brother, you are a Genius, but you are more thin...are you ok?

[@DavideTravelli]

I actually have photos from the same spot but I was really there: instagram.com/p/BorFDp5gVvZ
