- Hey creatives! Ever wondered how to easily paint rim lights for composites in Photoshop? In this video I cover the process I most often use to achieve a nice look for my composite work.
The next tutorial will be based on taking normal diffused rim lights and faking the look of gelled lighting and my process on spicing up a photo with color in post production.

Hi Dustin, great tutorial. Can you clarify the bit at 1.40 in about clone stamping the edge of the cutout and the background as I didn't follow what you meant or signpost me to somewhere to read up on that technique, thanks
Hi Darcy! Thanks for checking it out! Of course I’ll clarify. So, this is similar to my tutorial on removing wrinkles from a backdrop. The reason I cut out my subject, and then cloned the bg behind her was so that when I painted the rim light effect it it wouldn’t compete between the masked version and the bg version. Often times your subject masks aren’t perfect so you can see the underlying image ghosting behind your selection if not careful. NOW, this is more the case for studio shots or very basic composites where you aren’t doing a FULL bg swap. Most cases you don’t have to worry about this when compositing but for the sake of the tutorial I wanted to fill everyone in on what I did in prep for the tutorial.
Hopefully that makes sense, let me know if it doesn’t. I enjoy your questions, thanks for being here!
@@DustinValkema Hi Dustin so is this right? you make a selection for the character/subject, copy it to a new layer then make a background with the original selection, where you clone stamp over part of the subject's outline to stop any issues when painting the rim light over those edges? Is that right? Thanks but wanted to be sure I'd got it, thanks
@@darcybrown7369 Basically. The biggest thing to remember is that when you have your layer for your subject cut out, the mask will rarely be 100% perfect. Often times you'll get some really funky edges with a "what seems to be clean mask" OR you'll get clear ghosting where you'll see bits of the original photo showing on the outside edges of the rim light painting. With that being said, the easiest way to proactively correct for issues is to "remove" or clone them out of the original "BG" layer.
I've got plans to do some videos on Clean plates, I'll make sure to include this process in those!
@@DustinValkema thanks Dustin will look out for them, I feel I'm improving in my comps but sometimes spend hours with tricky details so your tips will surely help speed things up.

Thanks alot man i was legit looking for a tutorial like this, however i still one of my biggest questions i have is what are some good blend modes for a very drastic rim light. I am working on turning a day light photo inside a car into a cyber punk look i am happy with the way it looks so far, everyone i showed it really think its nice but i am stil too 100 on the rim light with it since its a dramatic change from day light to neon tones
