Create a Composite image using Adobe Photoshop
Dive into the world of digital art as you learn to blend and manipulate images seamlessly. In this project you will learn to master essential tools like the Move tool, create masks, and employ Adjustment Layers. Discover the power of non-destructive editing and unleash your creativity to craft captivating visuals. By project end, you'll confidently transform your ideas into stunning composite images, showcasing your proficiency in digital design. Let the compositing adventure begin!
- Gather Images: Collect at least five images with a common theme.
- Import and Arrange: Open Photoshop, create a new canvas, and import your images onto separate layers. Use the Move tool to position and resize the images as desired.
- Make Selections and Masks: Select an image layer and use tools like Marquee or Lasso to select specific areas. Create masks, allowing you to hide or reveal parts of the image.
- Apply Adjustments Non-Destructively: Use Adjustment Layers for global or local edits (e.g., Curves, Levels). Adjust settings and use layer masks for selective adjustments.
- Export Your Image: When satisfied, export your composite as a JPEG or PNG file. ***Remember to save your project (PSD) to preserve layers and editing options for future modifications.
