How to Blend Images and Create a Composite in Photoshop

Simple Techniques to Blend Images and Color Match Elements of Composites in Photoshop! Learn the building blocks of Photo Manipulation, and the in-depth step-by-step process of using Curves, Hue/Saturation, Special Effects, Filters, and several advanced techniques to match the color, tone, and lightness of the image. But is that enough?
In this tutorial, we will also learn how to create the shadow using the existing one and mimic other properties and nuances of the image like blurriness, noise, etc. and get it to match with the object or the subject. I hope this tutorial helps. Thank you for watching :)

You are the Bob Ross of Photoshop, very helpful.

[@jennifershafley5062]

I watch these with my teenage daughter and she made the same comment :)

He's not black

[@artfuldodger9312]

Lets not get carried away, he is no Bob Ross in my book. He is one funny looking guy if ever I saw one..........................lol

[@MMShaggy]

Hell yeah, he is!

[@CherylKhan80]

Yes! Was thinking the same thing. 😊

[@psoon04286]

You are thanking me for watching your tutorial? EVERYONE of us should be thanking you for sharing your knowledge by making it freely available on KZbin. Just a suggestion to further enhance the composite, if I may. To give the illusion of motion, what about adding fallen leaves scattered by the movement of the car. Also, a deer standing by the right-side of the road, thus explaining why the car swerved over to the left-side.

[@thebaconwhisperer14]

Dude's got 3.3 mil subs, I'm sure he's not the one panhandling, he makes these to make money through monetization. So yes, he should be thanking people for watching and at the same time we can thank him for his work he makes money on too.

[@jmg9509]

Those features are more stylistic than the realism look I'm guessing he was going for

[@wessidemd]

You're an incredible educator. It is obvious that as you speak you are placing yourself in the mind of your audience and predicting the confusion and questions. Very good!

[@Ailyloves]

yes, I can agree with you. he teaches us like we are beginners to this concept [of matching the subject with the background]. which is demonstrated when he brings up the confusions Photoshop beginners have, & answers them in a simple to understand way, which is helpful based on my experience, when I search for Photoshop tutorials, many of them does not go as analytical/in-depth/considerate as Unmesh does. so this channel is very helpful to me. I appreciate that he pays attention to the details & addresses them

[@alexmorfin4967]

My thoughts exactly. I couldn't have said it any better.

[@maxpaul7102]

Im amused at how animated your face is while explaining.. almost like a childrens show host.. thumbs up for the passion,patience and skill..

[@satrajitdutta5615]

Great Video! PRO TIP: When making a composite, you can always flip the image horizontally at the end, to spot the mistakes. It gives u a new perspective, as if you are looking at the image for the first time..

[@PiXimperfect]

That's a great tip! Thanks for sharing.

[@ajmalnajath9048]

[@norndev]

Reminds me of music production, if you want to see if a melody or chords stands up after hearing it for so long (similar to staring at it for too long), you simply move the notes up an octave and it will sound completely fresh.

[@OzzieAlfonso]

More than just blending two images, and so much more to learn from this single lesson. You are great. Thank you!

[@pawnmusic]

i never knew you could "break" half of the handle for the pen tool by alt-clicking. That's something that has always given me trouble and I never would have known there was a solution. Sweet. My random web searching paid off. Just a little, seemingly insignificant tip like that actually improves overall workflow ten-fold, so I thank you.

[@Sam01951]

Same, there I like 3000 tricks in photoshop that would speed up my productivity

[@elvinreyes2115]

very detailed, smooth and clean tutorial with bonus explanation. plus the "I would recommend that you take a break. go somewhere, eat something, then comeback to the image after a while. that way you will be able to spot the mistakes that you normally wouldn't find while you are editing" - the very perfect advice for editors. thank you.

[@PeasantNerd]

[@exhactly]

Very impressive. Your meticulous thoroughness applies both to the techniques you employ and your teaching method. Excellent!

[@chrisfisher6529]

Granted I do more digital painting than photo editing. However your explanations of light, blending options etc throughout your videos are informational without being overwhelming. I'm learning a lot of the basics, that are usually taken for granted. Cannot wait to apply what I have learned in my own practice :)

[@Akshay87Kumar]

I like how you summarize the concepts after the end of each tutorial. Makes much more sense to understand how each of these are scientific concepts, rather than rote learning, and can be achieved in not one but multiple different ways

Doing Photoshop since I was 10 years old (it was on a floppy disk) and I thought I knew so much of Photoshop, but Unmesh is so amazing that if I am stuck on something to make even better photo I go to him!

He is amazing! If you ever have workshops I am so interested!

[@TheoPantazi]

Loving your work, thank you for making these vids. One thing I would recommend is to create smart objects of your high res images. When you scale down the car image as you did, it'll be at a new scale and you've lost the detail - meaning if you wanted to change the scale of the car later, you're resizing pixels, which in turn may make them softer (if you scale up of course). Minor point but worth considering I feel. Great work as always! :)

[@snacksy7754]

It's very easy to take things for granted when explaining, but this guy has complete control. Guessing you have been teaching many people and learnt what the common pitfalls are.

[@apeel2008]

Very good. I learned so much! One observation I have is that there could have been some further adjustments through the back window view so that the road visible in front better matches in color with the road directly ahead of the car. I guess this would require a new selection of the road visible from inside the car?

[@awadamson]

Agree--was waiting for that fix. Would love to see a follow up tutorial to adjust that. Great video though!!

[@BubbleGendut]

Brilliant tutorial & Agree with apeel2008, would be nice to see the fix for this complicated area.

[@BubbleGendut]

I was also thinking that via luminosity masking also maybe Match Colour? Not sure if it would work. I will play with it at the weekend

[@kelvinilla]

Also, you can see from the inside of the car that it's left-hand drive. Yet on the composite, it's driving on the left side of the road. Maybe you can interpret some metaphor from that, but that's because it looks off.

[@BubbleGendut]

It is plausible. I drive a UK Car (RH drive) on the right side of the road in Europe. In this image this could be e.g. a german car (LHD) driving in the UK, where we drive on the left.
