Forest Levitation Composite Course

Compositing and Special Effects in Photoshop

Lightning in a Bottle Composite Course

Compositing, from Start to Finish

In this course, you will learn the basics of photo compositing—from setting up your workflow to masking, blending and color grading, as well as lighting effects and much more. In this follow-along project, you'll join Rikard in putting together a levitation composite. The basic magic trick is simple—stabilize your camera, take a photo with your subject on some kind of support, take a second photo of a clean background. Add some Photoshop magic and you've got a cool image. But there's a little more to it than that and this course you'll learn all of it. And it won't take more than a couple of hours.
