The mist in the photograph washes out a lot of dark blacks so I made sure to pull the black point up on the graph to develop more of a gray tone which matched the shadows in the foliage around the deer.
The adjustment layer will now control only the one layer beneath it and not make changes to the forest scene. I wanted the adjustment layer to control only the deer so I placed my cursor underneath the new adjustment layer, held Alt on the keyboard, and clicked when a box with an arrow appeared. The Curves adjustment layer allows me to manipulate the tonal value from deepest blacks right up to brightest whites. At the bottom of the Layers palette, I clicked on Create a new fill or adjustment layer and chose Curves. It's time to make my first adjustment to the look of the deer. But it still sticks out like a sore thumb and that's because the tonal values don't match the misty forest scene. The deer is now in the right spot and has been masked effectively to suit its position in the forest. I added a Curves adjustment layer and flattened out the black areas to appear more gray while also attenuating the white areas But there were only a few sections that I needed to grapple with for this example so I used the Lasso tool instead. The Pen tool also allows you to edit the path so that if you make a mistake part-way through you can correct it. I like to resort to the Pen tool (P) when this happens because I can draw a path around my subject, which contorts and bends depending on how you use it. There are better ways of making cut-outs, especially when it's a little more complicated and the automatic selection tools aren't super accurate. If you want to switch between adding or subtracting from the selection just head to the respective icons at the toolbar at the top of the window while you have the tool selected. That's okay though, I simply zoomed in and used the Lasso tool (L) to add or subtract from my selection. I say halfway because there were a few areas where the Object Selection tool didn't make a perfect job of it. Refine the selection with the Lasso tool by adding or subtracting from the selection that Photoshop just gave you

With a few simple steps, I'll show you how to balance colors, make curve adjustments, and make accurate masks that make the images blend seamlessly together. It all involves working with colors, tones, and masking to produce something that not only looks realistic, but a photo that's greater than the sum of its parts.įor this example, I'll be taking two of my shots, one of a red deer stag and the other of a misty forest, and combining them to make it look as though the deer was in the forest all along. Either way, the tips, and techniques are the same. This could be as simple as planting a deer in a forest or it might be more involved with multiple photographs coming together to generate something otherworldly. The main premise is to composite together two or more images to create a new scene. In this walkthrough, I'll show you how to enhance your landscape images with a composite in Photoshop CC. But sometimes no matter how hard you try there's just a little something missing. Capturing a great landscape photograph is extremely rewarding because a lot of things have to come together in order to nail it.
