If you have ever needed to cut someone out of their background and place them onto a new one, this tutorial is perfect for you. We cover very advanced techniques for cutting objects out, and creating amazing layer masks. We also go over some special techniques for matching color. In this advanced Photoshop Tutorial, we cover how to cut someone out of their bakground, reposition them, add body parts, blend them back into their background, and remove all distractions while we are at it, including an entire full length window. If that doesn’t sound awesome to you, chances are you have never tried to make someone float in a photo. You are going to learn about balancing a person’s pose to make them seem more natural, and how to transform the background to allow the person to interact with it.

Photo Shoot
This photo shoot was a ton of fun, and a bit scary. We are in an abandoned house, overgrown in the woods. Parts of the house are collapsing around us, and there is graffiti and broken glass everywhere. The concept was sketched out in depth before the shoot, so everyone knew what needed to happen. We decided to use the window light as a secondary light source, and a softbox as the main. If these lights are out of the shot, the can read the same as if a window were just outside of the frame.

Working with Light
There are a few great techniques that will allow light to look like it is spilling into a photo. This is a very popular look with photographers, as it gives a photo a lot more atmosphere. You can try to do this in camera, but often it is more effective to do it in Photoshop.
