Using Perspective and Vanishing Point To Create Amazing Composites In Photoshop
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2024
- Photoshop CC tutorial dealing with what is perhaps the most import thing when it comes to compositing images together; perspective.
The techniques that I'm going to teach you in this video, will make you a much better Photoshop user. They will make your compositions look much more realistic, and you'll know what types of images you'll need to complete a great composite.
Today's, compositions comes from Facebook Photoshop and Lightroom group admin, Karen Burke, who was nice enough to lend us her images for this tutorial.
We're going to take Karen's composition, and see how we can fix the perspective, so that the subjects don't look like their floating over the field. There's other issues with the image such as lighting, but we will only focus on perspective in this video.
You can get pretty much get everything else right, lighting, color, shadows, and extractions, but if the perspective is off, your viewer will know something is not right. They might not know exactly what it is, but they'll know there's something wrong with the image.
Don't feel too bad if you're making these perspective mistakes, I've seen movie posters, and advertisements that are just horrible, when it comes to perspective. So even some pros have problems with putting together multiple images from different sources.

You are a very good instructor. Having knowledge is one thing - being able to transmit that knowledge to another is a skill, a gift.
Liam Kincaid Thank you so much for the kind words!
You My Friend in this video have just Simplified the Physics of the composites
Thanx a lot for perspective training, i will definitely use this knowledge in my future projects........
No problem, Andrew! Thank you for having me be part of it!
Another great tutorial from PTC...I think this is the best TH-cam channel for learning intermediate and advanced techniques in Photoshop.
Some comments that may help viewers of this tutorial: A vanishing point is where parallel lines seem to converge, in a picture that is "in perspective". By "parallel lines" I mean lines that are actually parallel in reality.
In the video, you extended some parallel lines on a bench, to find the vanishing point. If there were another bench in that picture, it would have a different vanishing point, unless that second bench was parallel to the other one.
We can see that same concept in the diagram that showed two vanishing points; parallel lines on one side of a box-shaped building converge to a different vanishing point than parallel lines on the adjacent side of the building. But both of those vanishing points are on the same horizontal horizon line. That's because all those lines, in reality, are parallel to the horizontal ground on which the building sits.
Thanks for the explanation, David!
Rarely ever comment on tutorials, but this deserve crazy props. I learned a valuable lesson
+Andre Jacobs Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to comment!
The only tutorial on perspective with good explanation on TH-cam. Thank you very much.
Wowwwww I been working with Photoshop for over 14 years and you my friend are teaching me so many new stuff that make live so much easier, I'm really thank you for all these tutorials they're great
Wow, this is something I have wondered ho to deal with for ages, despite my training in fine art! When you are drawing and painting from life it is all before you, but bringing it together from multiple images into a composite requires real skill! I take my hat off to you Mr. Ramirez, you are a great teacher! Thanks again!
maria paz davis-fernandez Thank you for the kind words!
I know a tutorial which makes it faster and very easy to explain
Er Ald Well? Send link, though I do like this explanation.
Wow. Finding this tutorial is like finding a treasure gold chest. Please don't stop making tutorials. This vid has helped me a lot. I liked and subbed. :D
Thank you!
This is a awesome tutorial regarding perspective. I have been struggling in this area. You FINALLY got it through to me. Thank you so much.
You're welcome! I'm glad it cleared up things for you, Lisa!
I think this is very helpful for people who can't 'see' perspective. Great way of explaining it. I go by feel, and sometimes they do tend to be a little 'off'. I have never used a mathematical formula, but I see how this approach could be very useful for selling the concept. Great video. If I ever feel I'm in that rut, the image isn't selling me, this is the approach I will refer to, so thank you! :)
Yeah, I'm pretty good at feeling it too. I sort of instinctively knew, but when I learned vanishing points and horizon lines it all made sense! I'm pretty good at guessing now, so I don't make all those lines unless something looks way off. Thanks for the comment!
Best of all tutorials, you guys are great.
Mark Jones Thanks!
Just fell across this brilliant tut whilst browsing, and and had to comment. Thank you, thank you! The penny dropped so loudly you must have heard it! I've been through the hitting myself for being so stupid stage, and shall forever be grateful to you. Yours, a fan
You're welcome, Gary! I'm glad you found this video useful!
Oh My Goodness! Huge Eye opener, I had no idea what that pivot point was used for or how to find the vanishing point! Thank you so much for sharing!
this tutorial is some of the best time that I've invested on the Internet in months. Thank you.
You're welcome! Konrad Broer
I learned something new today about perspective in Photoshop, photos, composition, and how to use it. Thank you.
You're welcome, Sara!
Great explaining. After struggling of 3 hours i saw this video, clear the points. Thumbs up
Great, Adnan!
Good tut, good speed. People can watch it again if they missed something. Thank you for being efficient and not wasting time. :)
mike harvey Thank you!
+mike harvey An excellent point.
Great tutorial.
thanks for making all these great tuts.
im a big fan.
This one helped me tremendously for my future composites !!!! Thanks a lot for it!
You're welcome!
Freddy, Thank you for such a great comment! I'm glad I can share information that people appreciate!
Excellent video tutorial. Thank you. Ill have to watch a few more times to get a better grasp of how to determine the horizon line on am image but... This did help me in paying more attention to how I compose my images moving forward.
+Francisco Ortega Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Still one of the best perspective tutorials on TH-cam. Thanks :)
+fallyhag You're welcome!
Thanks for such a great tutorial. Appreciate your explanation of all of this!
Kurt Yazici You're welcome!
I thought this was great. You stated that this image wasn't the greatest--as we all know--but you did an excellent job of explaining vanishing points and perspectives. This could've easily been two vids and still have been just as good!
Tony Collins Thanks for your awesome comment!
very clear and useful - makes you think about issues in painting as well as compositing - thanks!
Yup! It does!
I like this course a lot, I use to have a lot problems with perspective earlier before this, now I allways look twice at my PS images. Thanks 4 a great course.
You're welcome, Mikael!
Really excellent video, especially relating to pivot points. Thank you!
Scott Robertson Thank you!
I just love when I watch a tutorial and really learn something. This is an exceptional piece of tutorial and I´m sure it will take my next composits to the next level or I´ll probably skip the next and go right to the after it (LOL).
Thank you so much for the tutorial and hope you make some new ones on two and three point perspective.
Greetings from Brazil.
Adilson Andrade Thank you for the kind words! Glad I was able to teach you something new! I would love to go to Brazil one day!
Just gotta say you make everything very simple and easy to understand how you teach and I'm glad I stumbled into your videos I'm learning a lot more from you thanks
Christian Anavisca You're welcome! Glad you stumbled onto them as well!
Wow, thank you!
I really did learn a lot.
Can't wait to put this to use.
celticmandoplayer Thank you!
definitely enjoyed the tutorial...i have seen few other Vanishing point tutorials done by you..
this one, when the man and the two ladies came into perspective, it was just an awwwwe.. and a big smile to my face.. how the entire image was changed to me more realistic..
its like magic!
and the way you explain is also super! Simple yet gets into the brain :)
Thank you for doing this...
Thank you for this - very helpful!
Great tutorial, good explications and simple.
Well done !
+Alexandre De Vries - Digital artist Thank you!
The most important thing that noone ever told me. THANK YOU SO MUCHCC
Wow.... I knew when my compositions didn't look right which was most of the time however now I know why. I'm still a little fuzzy on how to determine vanishing points albeit I can appreciate this isn't something that can be explained in only a few minutes. Thanks to your excellent, easy to follow presentation. Excelsior.
Kevin Buttner Thank you! Yeah it can be hard to explain in a short amount of time.
Thanks for the great tutorial.
What I also noticed is that the shadows could some work as well.
Andre Boevink I agree, but I did mention in the beginning of the video that I wasn't going to worry about them in this tutorial. Thank you for watching and for you comment!
Thank you for a very good video, I have had problems with the perspectives of my pictures all the time. Now I have learned a new way of looking at things. I'm hobby photographer so I can check the photographs where the point is. Again many thanks.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped out!
It's so obvious now you've pointed it out. thanks for a great tut......you explained it perfectly...
lol whittingham Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
wow....just opened my eyes to perspectives and their impacts on photos in photoshop. Nice one!!
+Harold Ajagu Thank you!
Sir you are the great teacher and you explain well , to us to understand where perspective is . i have learn a lot from you on your photoshop training channel. Thank you.
LOVE THIS!!!! Thank you so much :)
This is fantastic! Really insightful tutorial on perspective! Finding the horizon line and vanishing point I think will be my biggest issue, I would be most interested in further info on finding this for multiple images.
Richard Roberts Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much to make this great video. I learned a lot.
Really great video. I wasn't sure at first but the level of detail you went into was just right, totally made sense by the end. I think the fact that you used Karren's photo was brilliant. Had some interesting problems to overcome, and the end result was ace
oTKMAXo Thank you!
Awesome tutorial Thank you.
You're welcome!
Amazing! I really learned a lot. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Excellent! Thank you.
Thank you, this helped me a lot with my image
Awesome tutorial! Thank you!
You're welcome, Leah!
Thank you! I think that will help putting cars into street pictures look a lot better.
Awesome Don Worden! I'm glad this tutorial helped you out!
Wow man tx, a real eye-opener! Awesome!
You're welcome Thierry Wybauw
Thanks v much. Great tutorial.
+Erica Dyson You're welcome!
good tutorial, but you can create a "scale reference" for the figures by using the door of the house in conjunction with perspective, that is, create your perspective and vanishing point for the image, and then match the horizon and vanishing points of the composite elements you want to add into this image, but begin by placing the figure by the door and afterwards scaling out with the fixed vanishing point. This will keep even the scale proportional to the horizon and the vanishing point.
Many people get the vanishing point and horizon correct, but a wrong scale can really throw things off and make them float.
yes good point but i think the house is from an other image, just like the man and the two women
أن? yes, I think they are, but why does this matter
أنس haha...thats weird - since your arabic Name, my Smartphone writes from right to legt :D
*left
Totally helpful for combining images! I’d love to see a tutorial on how to find the vanishing points and horizon on a photo of a person on an all white background, or a photo without any congruent parallel lines to draw. If there’s some kind of mathematical way to get the horizon on anything in Photoshop that would be an awesome tutorial!!!
Thank you sir. I just know that technique. Very much
very helpful tutorial, thank u for help learning vanishing point
You're welcome, Tushar Patel
thanks for the great tutorial its totally new to me and i liked it, i have one question, if i have a model shot in a while background, and i need to compose it in a scene like this, how can i figure out the horizon line for it?
Learned a lot. Now, I gotta figure out which of your tutorials I haven't seen.
I hope that you've seen them all! 🙂
Photoshop Training Channel i think so. Saving a heck of a lot of them
Great tutorial and very well explained.
Mario Mifsud Thank you!
Having struggled with a book chapter on this subject, you've really helped with this video, thank you! You have a real skill to be able to convey so much information is a short time :) skill
You're welcome!
Not sure if this was really the best image to use for this since the vanishing point and horizon isn't clear, but still made sense to me. Good video.
Team-Shmo But that's why I chose to use Karen's image! It was not an easy image to fix.
Technically, that was quite insightful. Never looked at composites that way.
+phil doodler Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Very Insightful... Thank you.
+Ravinder Singh you're welcome!
Great job on explaining this!

You're welcome, david perez!
Thank you! Well done.
Thats why all my blending photos dont look exacly as they belong together....you are great!!!Thanks!
+Johnny “Walker” Kat You're welcome!
Photoshop es el rey de los programas. Yo tengo todavía el CS2 y me sobra. Muy buen vídeo.
Gracias José María Algar
wow very informative. i knew there was something with all of my composites
Thank you! Glad it helped!

+Tore Bordal You're welcome!
Thank you, Robin.
I dig this tutorial. Great insights.
Rob Castro Thank you!!!
I agree with Rob2049 nobody's saying you're bad at what you do that's not the case! You're extremely knowledgeable with Photoshop. I have a feeling you're mine was focused on teaching perspective, to make this photograph look the best taken more than 20 minutes.
As I told the other user, I mentioned within the first 2 minutes, and again on several occasions throughout it, that this was not my image, and that I was only helping Karen correct the perspective of her image, and that the other issues would be disregarded. So I found it pointless for the other user to comment and criticize the image when all his points where addressed on the video and disregarded on purpose.
Photoshop Training Channel good narrating, dont mind the other user, some people just watch to see errors not to learn. i do lots of amarture PS and i think i learnt a whole lot from this tutorial.the woman on the right,i think if the if the shadow for the back foot is slanted to the left and a bit upwards it will make some sense cos i think that foot should be on the ground. my opinion
very helpful tutorial... thanks and more power sir!
Thank You awi edano !
Amazing. Thank You!
You're welcome!
Brilliant stuff. thx.
Thank you!
Thank you, Morgana!
Very helpful awesome video thank you for uploading it
Hi! First off, thanks for your tutorials! At 19:20 what made you drag the women down? I know it looks much better, but how did you come to the conclusion they were at the right perspective relating to the man, the horizon line, the vanishing point etc? I've watched quite a few tutorials about drawing people on perspective and we are taught to keep people's head at the same level. We just have to increase the people's size according to the distance they are at but the heads are kept the same hight.
simply brillant..subscribed.
Thank you!
Thank you, TheBlankpaiges! I know that at least half the people who watch my videos are on the Mac, so I have to help them out too!
Well done , thank you.
+John Glavey Thank you!
awesome tip sir
well done, thank you!
+jamminjamy You're welcome!
thank you it was so helping and clear, but i have a little question about the last snapshot, you put the horizon of the man at the level of the sun and the horizon of the two women was behind or near their eyes which is lower than the level of the sun. so is there two horizon or maybe i miss something?, as you said we have to move things in order to match them all in one horizon line
I didn't mention it in the video, but the Horizon line is where the Ground Plane meets the sky. And that will be different for every image. So it's not at eye level of the people on the scene. It's really the eye-level of the camera when the photo was taken. But it is represented in the image on the horizon line. Which is where the ground plane meets the sky.
This was dope. Helped a lot 🖖
Thank you, Shayna!
Thank you!
thanks , you explained it so well that even I understood haha
