105 SHOP TALK - July 22, 2025 Creating Composites Part 1
Today we learned how to create composites in Photoshop.
How to add two pixel layers into one file.
How to reduce your file size by only adding the relevant parts of the pixel layer to your master file.
Creating blurs to add motion to a subject.
Masking your subject and checking your mask for blemishes.
We dabbled with the Layer Style and saw how to overcome the glitch of adding a mask (place layer in group and add a mask to the group).
If you don't have any images of your own, I have attached a few images for you to work with here.
I encourage you to create a composite for next week and upload your image for us to see.
