Today we will create a very cute fantasy composition with two girls sleeping on a mushroom, in a grass field. We will use stock photos, Photoshop and of course, imagination. This tutorial covers not only the techniques used, but also explains why those specific techniques are used and can be completed by both beginners and experienced Photoshop users.
Matte painting is a technique that filmmakers use to create backgrounds for scenes that can’t or don’t exist in real life. In the early days, matte paintings were actually painted onto glass. Today, modern filmmakers use digital applications such as Photoshop to produce the backdrops that they need. We have published many matte painting tutorials on this site meant for intermediate and advanced users.
Today’s tutorial will teach you some quick ways to extract objects from their background and combine them with other images to produce the scene that you need.
