Photo Manipulation Step-by-Step Tutorial in Photoshop

A Complete Guide to Creating a Photo Manipulation Composite in Photoshop! Right from selecting to changing the background, creating the shadow, matching the subject and applying special effects and filters, we are going to cover each and every step, one-by-one.
First off, we will learn how to make precise selections using the Pen Tool. Then, along with some minor adjustments and fine-tuning, we will change the background.
Next, we will learn a simple way to create a shadow that looks realistic. To make the subject match with the background, we will use Levels, Curves, and few other Adjustment Layers to blend the subject into the scene.
In the end, we will learn how to apply some global special effects along with some filters and flares to that makes the elements of the composite come together as one whole image.
I hope this tutorial helps. Thank you for watching :)
