I do quite a bit of image combining, but your tutorial offered a LOT of new tips and tricks to improve my processes. Best 5 tips for me in this one? 1) Drop larger image on top of smaller image; 2) Color Match tool; 3) Creating a separate drop shadow layer (MY FAV!); 4) Skewing the shadow; 5) Color Grading. Thank you, Colin!!
Stumbled across your videos today after not using photoshop in years. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! Very easy to follow along and I'm SO happy with the results.
Thank you, thank you, thank you ... great tutorial, but best of all was being able to follow along with you using the same photos. It made all the difference.
THANK YOU!!! You break everything down so well! I haven't been able to find anything or anyone who can explain Photoshop in a way that ACTUALLY makes sense to me until YOU! I appreciate your videos so much!! Things are FINALLY starting to make sense and it's giving me confidence!
I moved back and forth to find out how you added the rim light. I like what you did. Is there another tutorial using the method of the rim-light layer. Thank you for all you do online for helping people learn how to use Photoshop.
Watched this video several times. You explain what / how to do this perfectly so a complete novice like myself can understand. Thanks for the time you've put into this video . Top TH-cam channel 👌 👍 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Great content, non-irritating voice, no stupid hype, not hours long, has two separate eye brows (you know). Definitely a channel ill return to. Thank you
Your instructions were easy to follow, you spoke clearly and explained what you were doing as I worked my way through. A big bonus for me was how you created a separate drop shadow layer and then skewed it to work with the shadows within the background image. I won't forget that wonderful trick! Many thanks.
You are genius....Finally I found someone who can talk through a tutorial and make it so easy to follow and I get the end results I'm after. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
This is such an amazing tutorial..I have watched lots of tutorials today as I want to learn Photoshop and alot of videos are too in depth or not explained properly. This video is perfect for beginners. U make it simple but effective
Best tutorial ever. Your calm manner and straight forward steps helped me enormously. I will practice this several times, and then look for your other tutorials. I feel lucky today! Thank you!
Great tutorial, I'll be doing this a few times in a row to really nail down the concepts here. They seem basic, but this is enough for most users to feel comfortable before jumping into their own compositions.
You are my favorite teacher Colin! This one went slowly enough for me to properly follow. Yes, I will have to watch it again and of course do my own trials, but this foundation in how to proceed makes that less daunting and easier to get on with. Thank you!
Love your videos. Question on this one, what if there are a few animals, for example dogs. Is it possible when matching colour to do all of the dogs together?
This is GOLD, however I do have a question. When selecting the lion I notice the chin is not selected and suddenly it jumps to a point where it is. How do I do this? I have the same issue with my picture where it selects a part of the background and doesn't select a part of the subject. Is there a way to manipulate this freely or is there a setting to do this? Thank you in advance
Well I never! I use the drag to tab function all the time, and did not know about adding Shift to centre. That's a standout tip less than a minute in. 😀
I thought I was pretty OK with combining photos, but I learned 2 new techniques that will be invaluable. I'm so glad I decided to watch. Thank you
Always some new to learn :)
This is golden for this 86 year old beginner!! Excellent!!

Another brilliant video for those of us who still have their ‘L’ plates on. Thanks from ‘over the pond‘.
You're welcome
Nice!
That was great!
This is GOLD, however I do have a question. When selecting the lion I notice the chin is not selected and suddenly it jumps to a point where it is. How do I do this? I have the same issue with my picture where it selects a part of the background and doesn't select a part of the subject. Is there a way to manipulate this freely or is there a setting to do this? Thank you in advance
Thank you, this was really great and so clearly explained.
Very useful, thank you!
As usual very straight ahead and useful tutorial. Thank you!
Great tutorial ! How did you make the effect about the rim light? I didn't get!
