"There's no cheating in art" one of the greats one said (Can't remember who). You create with art and creating, in any way you do it, is still creating. When photobashing, you still need to have an incredible knowledge of what you're doing. It's meant to make it easier, for concept artists to work faster and thereby get paid more, but as an illustrator it can also be a very useful tool. You can easily see the difference from a very knowledged artist do photobashing and someone that doesn't know the basics of doing art in general.

[@ImadAwan]

That's very true!!! Thank you!!

[@sk.9857]

wonder if you still keep the same opinion now that "masterpieces" can be made by typing a few prompts into an AI

[@ricbulow]

@@sk.9857 It's derfinitely something I've considered greatly lately, but in the end I end up staying with that thought that I wrote above. A.I can create art, sure... Good for A.I...... But it was never YOUR art then, afterall. However, should you use it as a base to create something with, then it is still your creation and it shows a creative mind.

[@suu1998]

​​​@@sk.9857AI images are not art, art is something only humans can make by definition. And when you use AI to make an image, the AI is the creator not you, just like when you commission an artist

[@artofdylan2356]

i hope people stop referring to photobashing as "cheating" as it demerits the artists who uses this technique. there so much technicalities involved in this technique as shown in the video. this is not an attack to you imad, just a thought. thanks for sharing the video.

[@ImadAwan]

That's very true my friend!!

[@Milkjiest]

I call this cheating for fun, same with coloring gradient maps. I do both myself so I think ita okay XD

[@polinttalu7102]

​@@kuda6578 Photobashing and using an AI is different though

Dear friend, you wanted to know if we are interested in a more detailed video about color matching and we freaking are! (at least I am)

[@ImadAwan]

Sounds great! I'll see what I can do! ;)

[@elanlynn5973]

Imad Awan I think you’ve already pointed out how to develop sharper color matching skills----draw from basic, (with proper photo reference. Once starters get used to paint color responsively , then I think being good at it won’t be a problem at all. Starters can’t rush it.

[@user-vt6td9hp3g]

3:29 If you have a flat colour background, you don't need to make selection, you can just change that flat colour to alpha. Obviously this will interfere if there is a similar colour inside the silhouette, but you can easily deselect that portion. It will probably make it much easier for people who aren't accustomed to selection tool especially if there's a lot of such photos

[@ImadAwan]

Thanks for the quick tip!!!

[@nanorai3303]

I'm still new to photoshop and the whole photobashing concept style and this was honestly such a great thing to be taught early on I would've pulled my hair out if i knew colour matching (that tool specifically because sure colour balancing/hues and such exist but they've never been this effective) thanks for the video! :D

[@ImadAwan]

So happy to hear that it was helpful! :)

[@ochobitstudio]

I love this, not only because the final result was great but because the explanation was simple and on point every single time. Good job!

Photobashing, and all of your awesome work and tutorials are giving me so much inspiration! I'm going to start working on compositing and photobashing so I can just create totally new art from the photos I take.
