One of the most difficult tasks in any photo manipulation project is getting the lighting and shadows to agree. This can be particularly difficult if you are working with several photos, each taken in an entirely different lighting situation. If you have ever struggled with this, then you know first-hand the frustration of trying to align light sources from multiple different photos into a single scene. In this course, Kirk Nelson will teach you the techniques you need to composite multiple photos into a single scene with believable lighting and shadows.
This short course follows on from Mastering Light and Shadow in Photoshop. This course will take the concepts from that previous course and apply them to a photo manipulation project.
