I learn so much from your extensive breakdowns that the smallest details make all the difference in the world of compositing. The only 'hmm' to me, though, is that the squirrel is still a little too bright in comparison to the other animals. But that's just a personal opinion. Thanks for sharing this MasterClass!
As someone who struggles to make composites work aesthetically, I much prefer to see how you fix someone else's work than crafting it yourself. Great chefs have all the best ingredients to make great dishes, but I'd love to see what they can do in my kitchen with what I have hand!
Seeing you work on my creation was mind blowing! You have such routine that I often have to rewind several times to see what you were doing. I am just starting out in Photoshop, so this is also a little confronting... In a good way tho! It just reminds me that there's still so much to learn and that there are so many different (easier) ways to do stuff, I know I got more work to do. Tutorials to watch. Courses to crash! Thanks so much for taking my composite to your level! It was a treat! (And now I'll go back to watch a few parts that made me go: "Huh? Wait, what? How? Can you do that in slowmotion?" 😂)
Hey Daphne! Thanks again for letting me use your composite in the tutorial. I know I go through a lot, but a few simple tips to remember: a) Match everything to your base image BEFORE adding noise, atmosphere and color grade. b) Your subject's eyes (including the lens in this case) need a catch light or they will look dead. c) Adding a foreground element, however subtle, goes a long way to create depth in your image.
