We will be learning two simple ways of blending a subject into a new background and capturing the colors and lighting to make the subject look natural in Photoshop.

Some basic concepts of image compositing will be introduced in this video, such as lighting angle and perspective. We will also use the Gradient Tool quite often to help us adjust lighting and shadows. And of course, Levels, Curves, and Gaussian Blur are among our most favorite fundamentals.

Hope you enjoy this video and learn something new today.
