When you are building a composite image, you have to ensure that each of the objects in your composite have a perspective that matches the image into which they are being placed. In this tutorial, we’re going to talk about how to find the horizon of your image and then how to find the vanishing point of objects you drag into your background and then how to line the objects up along the horizon and match the perspective of both the background image and the element dragged into the photo. We’re using two different cars for this example, but this technique works for people, buildings, animals, still life, and more. Once you know it, you’ll love it!

I hit like before I even finished watching, that's how much I know this guy's content never disappoints.

[@tutvid]

Thank you so much, Shamar! 👍 Really appreciate it!

[@bluebgc.]

Shamar Morrison hi

[@tubelesstube4237]

Awsome trick :)

[@rafagarrafinha]

I would love to see a similar tutorial with people instead of cars. Even more so when taking people out of an image with just white background or even no background at all. It would be really useful. :)

[@darkbluebossa]

Agree

[@pablo-zn1mg]

yess!!

[@tutvid]

I've got it on my list! Coming soon!

[@AbrahamMosawi]

Would be really good

[@marcos89baires]

Your tutorials are so good, very clear and the best part is that is not just about photoshop but you add design concepts. Thanks a lot!

[@tutvid]

Thanks! Glad you enjoy the videos!

[@WINDOWS94198]

thanks tutvid! We need a lot of composition tutorials :)

[@tutvid]

Haha. I have more composites coming soon!

[@jalilkawas1304]

Once you have the perspective how do the get the angles right? Like the Lambo didn't follow the street lines. Is that a perspective warp tutorial maybe? Would love to see, great and clear tutorial, thank you.

[@OscarObians]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been searching for a tutorial with techniques on calculating proper perspective when merging images. You rock!

[@tutvid]

Thanks, Oscar! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Grabster]

I just watched your other video about compositing where you showed the same audi and lambo :D and i was searching for the same topic, and here you are... YOU ROCK DUDE ;)

[@tutvid]

Just wait until you see tomorrow's tutorial. A little bit more of this car theme, but even cooler. Glad you're enjoying the content! Thanks for the comment! 🍻

[@Grabster]

Hell yes!! Love the daily uploads, idk how you do it but its super awesome, #Respect

[@jamphotostudio]

Finally someone made it easy to get these perspectives right!! Thanks so much for sharing this!! You have a new subscriber!!

[@ga20904]

i would love to see you update this video to include people

[@chidambershindhe-jo9ze]

[@tutvid]

Thank you! Really appreciate the kind comment!

[@Dwlady717]

Definitely do another video like this, but with people. This was very useful. Thank you.

[@tutvid]

Will do for sure!

[@visiondezignz-ch7ew]

This is awesome, thank you so much!!! What if the photo of the car is shot from the back of the car, how would you add the horizon lines?

[@worldstop2337]

so after watc hing around 50+ videos finally ,I understand it .

[@AshokKumar-dm7yj]

learned lots of techniques by this tutorial. Thanks for sharing

[@RedDirtAlleyPhotography]

THANK YOU! THANK YOU NATHANIEL!! You explained it perfectly and I even learned a new word...FUNKIFIED! :) You are awesome!

[@tutvid]

Haha. I try to teach some vocabulary in these tutorials too. 😂

[@nseriously2704]

important tut! thx bro!

[@YAHIABENFREELANCER]

what if there was any horizon in the image ????

[@_gr1nchh]

How would I find the horizon line for a studio shot image? Say of a basketball player from an NBA photoshoot? Since they have different angles and such.

[@capturewithshirke3951]

Really great video sir loved it, and love the way you explain love from india❤️❤️❤️

[@carolyn9996]

WOW! Just what I was looking for. Thank you, for your amazing videos. I am hooked!

[@simonplant4175]

Very well presented Simon

[@armcezar8106]

[@tenofhearts99]

That was awesome!

[@MarkLargo]

Awesome tutorial! Please make one for people! Thanks!

[@tutvid]

Thanks, Mark! I've got that on my list to do!

[@guy_incognito]

Thank you! Very useful tutorial!

[@aftabrathore]

Thanks. That is very detailed tutorial

[@AGVancouver]

I haven't really used the vanishing point to composite a car into an image until I had to stick two of them in one photo. I hate the vanishing point filter in photoshop. I like this process better and it makes more sense. You reckon this would work to do motion blurs ?

[@akshaykashyapakki]

You have to add another video link to in description not only video like video is on top of link etc

[@originunknown3209]

Sick tutorial!!! Wow!!!! Many thanks! 👏👏👏

[@عبيرالرشيد-غ4ح]

At laaaaaastttt I understand it. Thank God. Good explanation.

[@A.Vakulin]

Outstanding! Thanks alot!

[@muhammadshoaib5358]

Blow my mind

[@tonypbeck]

Hi, I got lost at the point where you resized the Lambo so the center anchor point is dragged over to the vanishing point, but that isn't what you did, the center anchor point only moved half way to the vanishing point, so i'm confused

super tuto!! thank you so much !!!☺

[@tutvid]

Thanks! 🍻

[@TiagoSilva-gf4eb]

does this technique works for indoors compositions?

[@mayavichy4987]

useful stuff, thanks again for sharing!

[@tutvid]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@Hootie8481]

How much does the focal length affect all of this? I mean i know it would not work if the backplate is shot with 16mm and the car with 85mm. For example i´m working on a pic where i downloaded the backplate from adobe stock and i don´t know the focal length of that pic. And i´m just really struggling to match the car with the background. Tips?

[@jedisct1]

Yet another fantastic tutorial. You rock!

Thank you!

[@Mark_conor]

Good stuff

[@FabyKennedy]

Great tutorial but... what about images without straight lines as reference points? I have a girl walking on the beach and no reference points....

[@studiomakeup7155]

but how you know the herizon line how i diskcover it ??

[@shumchuk]

In the same way found the horizon of the car you should find the horizon of the forest image.

[@floppydisk9541]

WOW you are my hero !

[@tutvid]

Really appreciate the kind words! 👍

[@multiengineer9199]

Best of best

[@Aleurrehman]

wow.

[@didarorazov]

Nice

[@fawadmalikphotography8508]

awesome really helpful

[@tutvid]

Thanks, man!

[@effortlessschool]

awesome

[@kristicarhomeaudiosystem47]

Can you make a mod for my car please?

[@legendarycustoms1531]

What about warping it to the perspective?

[@legendarycustoms1531]

So it lines up with the road

[@tutvid]

Absolutely you can do as much warping as you like. Certainly depending on how the road runs, you may need to tweak to make everything look perfect.

[@Reapuh]

Where can I find that background?

[@tutvid]

I think it is a photo from either Graphicstock.com or Unsplash.com. I can't remember though.

[@ATSProdOfficial]

I have problem with getting nice perspective with humans. Have you some course about that ? Or maybe BIG course about composting ? ;)

[@tutvid]

I'll work on a tutorial for that!

[@hossamabdulkareem5366]

Thank yqou for such helpful video. I got a question on resizing, what determine the right size of the image when resized against the background? In other word, how did you choose the right size for both cars?

[@rgarlinyc]

Great explanation - from my perspective (geddit?) everything is now perfectly clear! 👍

[@SimRaceHQ]

awesome

[@tutvid]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@GhanshamJessani]

AMAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG, TY

[@tutvid]

Thanks, Kishan!

[@Grabster]

What if we need to find the perspective of an object? say an apple or maybe a person? What then? They have no wheels :D

[@tutvid]

Look for lines in the existing image. Mask away the background and retain those lines. Scale the object with the lines with the anchor/reference point at the vanishing point.

[@Grabster]

Where do i put those lines if i'm looking for a perspective of a person? Head and Feet?

[@tutvid]

Neither. You'll look for straight lines in the photo around the person. I.e. Person standing on the street, you will have lines along the edge of the street, the base/roof line of buildings, boxes, cans, etc... on the sidewalk. Where two lines that you draw from those lines intersect if the vanishing point. You can then select both of those lines and the object you have cut out and scale based on that vanishing point. Hope that helps!

[@Grabster]

Alright i'll try it :) Thanks man ^_^

[@Mike-el1ry]

5:53 Lamborghinis don’t have hubcaps. They have forged metal wheels 😂

[@jumjam234]

[@tutvid]

🎯

[@jumjam234]

May I ask how much do you charge (or would charge) clients for one-hour retouching/editing?

[@tutvid]

I charge $175 per hour.

[@thenakedsuperhero1926]

"hubcap"
