Composites are more than just merging images together. To make a realistic composite, one needs to consider light sources and perspective. By using Adobe® Photoshop® you can create worlds and scenes with your photography that would take extreme budgets to capture in camera. 

In this class you’ll learn:

  • How to use adjustment layers to check the luminance, saturation, and hue of a composite.
  • How to make composites come to life by adding ambient color.
  • How to use familiar tools in unconventional ways to help you create realistic composites

Software Used: Adobe Photoshop CC 2015

    This short course is packed full of incredibly useful tips! I've been working with Photoshop for years and I did not know some of these excellent techniques. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in refining their compositing techniques, understanding why things work the way they do with compositing or simply refreshing their technical compositing knowledge. Thank you Jesus, much appreciated!

    Great Tutorial with exellent instructions. I did saw Jesús Ramirez often on YT-Channels .. The only thing that I'd critize is : the poor behavior in front of his class visitors .. Jesús did not really involved them .. he behaved like he is recording another YT-Video with him alone .. that was a bit weird.. but hey - I'm not a visitor :))

  • Joni D. Aug 15, 2020

    This is one of the best courses for using Photoshop to composite images that I have ever watched. Using Photoshop tools, revealing shortcuts, and easier ways to get great results. Thank you!!

  • Bob S. Aug 15, 2020

    I like this course because it reveals how to control several key techniques that will make or break your ability to create believable composites. I haven't seen these techniques covered in any of the several compositing courses I have taken (Kelvin, Nucly, PhotoSerge etc.)

    Great class!

  • Kate B. May 18, 2020

    A really interesting class which gave me new techniques. I feel that I know a lot about PS but this class took me in new directions which I will be able to use for my images. Thank you Jesus and Creative Live for the excellent class!

    Engaging teacher, this is a good advanced course about how to make realistic or creative compositions. I would only like that the teacher make some longer courses. Because I think people expect a bit more content in one course. As their are really big courses both on Creative Live and other platforms.. Single buy the courses are a bit expensive. As a yearly one-time-paid option these courses do have their value.

    I love the way Jesus teaches and I learnt an immense amount. For those who need spoon-feeding then yeah, this class is probably not for you but I can see that my work flow in terms of speed and quality has improved immediately !

  • Andreas B. Jan 7, 2020

    Are the psd files available for download? Having those handy would have been appreciated.

  • O. Dec 2, 2019

    A confused, disorganized, & jumbled mess. Many of the "tips" and procedures now made obsolete by Photoshop CC 2020. Don't waste your money on this one.

  • Connie W. Nov 18, 2019

    glad i only spent $12 - goes way to fast - assumes people are advanced but this is a beginners type course...

  • Pascal M. Jul 12, 2019

    Very clear course! thanks for sharing your knowledge... helped me a lot!. With kind regards, Pascal Maramis

  • Neil H. Jun 8, 2019

    Fantastic short course in essential basics and perspective. Learnt a lot in a small amount of time and its helped me speed up my work no end, highly recommended.

  • Katie S. May 22, 2019

    This class is full of gems for compositing in Photoshop. I am watching it over and over to mine all of the information!

  • rmanke . May 18, 2019

    This is definitely one of the best classes on CreativeLive. Jesús is a great instructor, and explains all of the major compositing techniques in a simple manner. Highly recommended!

  • Paul S. Apr 17, 2019

    Helpful being in time 'bite-size' chunks so it can be viewed quickly for future reference

  • A J. Apr 13, 2019

    Instructor is very knowledgeable and concise. However his brevity and speed assumes you already have a strong working knowledge of many PS features. Very valuable information but it happens quickly, so be ready!

  • Alisa W. Mar 25, 2019

    If I'm honest, I haven't finished this class quite yet. However, I've picked up enough useful tips in the first half to make it well worth the purchase. A really great "nuts and bolts" approach to compositing. Would like to see a "part II" with even more great stuff!

  • Reed Y. Dec 29, 2018

    Great course, I learnt a lot but it was a little short. I would have enjoyed a few more examples

  • Santola M. Dec 14, 2018

    Wow, great course!

  • Hassan H. Dec 10, 2018

    An excellent course. It provides explanations and tools and tricks to use to composite images properly. I have not seen these explanation provided in any other course before. They are so valuable to my work and I am very happy I purchased and watched this easy to watch tutorial. Highly recommended.

  • Kathrin H. Nov 24, 2018

    Great explanations of perspectives. Cool examples. But the part with the brushes is to short. I wished tehre would be more Brush examples and explanations why its best use of some settings.

  • Sean S. Nov 3, 2018

    Good course.

  • Regina E. Sep 27, 2018

    Nice course, very clear instructions how to save time compositing pictures.

  • Susan M. Sep 20, 2018

    Full of aspects of creating composites that I should have considered but did not and ways to compensate.
