PHOTOMANIPULATION<br />
IPULATION<br />
Top 5 tips to<br />
creating an effective<br />
photomanipulation<br />
time to learn it all… but I’ve always<br />
wanted to try using Matte Painting<br />
in <strong>Photoshop</strong>.<br />
Three key elements to a<br />
good photomanipulation<br />
1. A clear overall light structure<br />
(shadow/light/contrast).<br />
2. A perfect colour balance between<br />
the layers.<br />
3. The alignment of textures<br />
and transitions.<br />
The three <strong>Photoshop</strong><br />
techniques I use the most:<br />
01. Brushing on layer masks<br />
02. Converting and adjusting RAWs<br />
03. Colour balance adjusting<br />
If you’re just starting out, take time<br />
to master the art of brushing transitions<br />
and edges on a layer mask<br />

DON’T OVERDO IT<br />
01 The fewer steps/filters you need, the more<br />
real it will usually look.<br />
LAYER MASKS, LAYER MASKS, LAYER<br />
02 MASKS!<br />
Using layer masks with an interesting brush is perfect<br />
for blending layers.<br />
A BRUSH FOR EVERY SITUATION<br />
03There are endless brushes so take the time<br />
to look for some good, high-quality ones. It will make<br />
working easier and your work look better.<br />
WORK ON YOUR CONCEPT<br />
04 If you want to stand out, you need something<br />
in your artwork to do so. Think about what would be<br />
nice to see or how it will be remembered. Funny sayings<br />
are always a good start.<br />
KNOW WHEN TO STOP<br />
05 Sometimes the idea just might not work out<br />
as expected. Sometimes it’s better to stop working<br />
on it and pick it up some other time.<br />
