Stitching files in Photoshop

[@jillc2700]

My mom loves watching your videos, so she was sad when I told her it was probably more computer/technical than she'd appreciate. But I am enjoying the detailed content! Thanks for sharing your process.

This was so useful! Thank you, Mateusz! There are a number of scanning apps with stitching routines but they all fail miserably. It has to be a manual process and yours seems very exact!

[@Professo_Saskia]

ohh, very helpful! thank you for making the tutorial. one reason i like your channel so much is the variety of things you show. its really interesting :)

[@melocotonki]

Wow this was so useful! I do a similar things but some of the tips are going to make my scans so much better thank you! Being self-thought sometimes makes me take the longer route to do things :)

I usually stitch my scans on another software and I’m not so familiar with Photoshop. Thank you so much for sharing your process. It’s very helpful! I think my process of stitching scans would be much faster and seamless from now on.

[@marlenel9124]

that was actually the most helpful tutorial on this topic i`ve seen :)

[@ronc2386]

This was awesome. More videos like this please. Very helpful!

[@vanessaleon4466]

So freaking beautiful illustration

[@ilikeitwhatisit]

besides using the auto-align function that photoshop has, you can also try setting the top layer to the "Difference" blending mode instead of reducing the opacity. This way what is identical in the layers will look black and the differences will be colored. This way you can nudge the layers with the arrow keys pixel by pixel until it's perfect. But again, I think you'll find photoshop's auto-align function to work perfectly.

Super interesting ! Nice tutorial ! I'm sure it will be helpful for a lot of beginners out there. Thank you.

[@madhurya333]

Such a useful tutorial~!

[@Queen_Nyxie]

I never could get my large scans to turn mesh seamlessly. I'm going to have to try this myself and see if this works for me. Thank you!

[@plouute]

Great tutorial, thanks man

[@cloverlartiste]

Amazing tutorial

[@ahmedabz5761]

Thank you for this useful tutorial Water colors drawings are always hard to have on screen with a same quality

[@EniEniEni]

Doesnt photoshop have automatic matching? So you just have to mark the files you want it to stitch together and it will do it for you. Photomerge or something I think?

[@mattjabbar]

Eni I think it has but I don’t trust it to be honest :)

[@carolusastabrataasta5481]

Thank you for the tutorial!

[@shraddhafineartshindi]

Great guide...Thanks for sharing i didnt know something like that could also be done😀😀 great thankyou

[@LKC52]

After putting all three pics in the same file. How about using "edit / Auto-Aligh layers" function ? And then use your masking technique.

[@mattjabbar]

I have to try this, but to be honest I do not trust the auto alignment algorithms. I worked two days on that picture so I can take 2 minutes to make sure its connected perfectly ;)

[@WindofIndigo]

Thank you!!!

[@RichardSapagoff]

Love the video! It helped me a lot ☆

If I were to order one of your prints to Thailand, how long would it take to deliver? I'm looking to decorate my house with your store front series, they look amazing.

[@summerbee80]

You can ask Matz direct questions about prints etc -- [e-mail]

[@lapizypincelart]

thanks a lot for this teach, I need so much this class

[@edgechan]

I have a question: After you scanned and stitched together the scans, do you only use the "Image > Adjustments > Levels" or do you use another way to match the colors of the scan with the original pic?

[@EmmaQUB]

That was really useful, thanks for sharing! Something scared me tho: when you put those heavy books to avoid too much lighting issues, wouldn't it damage your drawing?

[@mattjabbar]

If you do it just for the scan it's OK. It's bad if you forget it there ;)

[@xave72]

Beautiful picture and format ! Is it for animation background purpose ?

[@mattjabbar]

nope, it's an one-shot painting I did for experimenting purposes.

[@shibakaneki555]

Very useful, thank you for sharing your process! It looks like the paper has a bit texture. I am actually thinking about what kind of paper I should use for watercolor. Until now I always use paper with "just a bit texture" but not too much so maybe I will try a more textured one... I am always amazed to see how nice the colors are on your painting, compare to mine that are always a bit "light", maybe I don't put enough water when using my colors (it dries very quickly and I almost don't have time to pull the drop or create nice gradients). Any hint on that?

[@mattjabbar]

The amount of water vs. paper texture (and how it behaves with water) is really important. I like the cold press paper because it gives me smooth washes without too much "watercolory" texture. The amount of water is something you have to experiment with but good paints will give you intensive colors even with fair amount of water used.

[@shibakaneki555]

ok, i will experiment more then! thx

[@YThates]

Does scanning at high dpi make the drawing upload and re-print bigger?

[@tanushrishah2884]

Will you be uploading a time-lapse for the painting in this video? :O

[@mattjabbar]

yes, ther will be I think. I have the process recorded.

[@summerbee80]

awesome! :)

[@upades]

To jest epickie :D

[@shaylale2923]

Does anyone know the name of the art style he uses? I’ve been trying to find the name of it for quite some time but I can’t find it!

[@mattjabbar]

Hmmmm this is a difficult thing. I think that anime backgrounds or watercolor concept arts (like ghibli for example) are the closest but then again not exactly the same thing. I don't have a specific name for it.

[@miguela.migallon8405]

Photoshop has a option to Stich images auto... ;)

[@mattjabbar]

I like to control what it does by myself ;)
