How to Match Subject with Background in Photoshop | Part 1

- Powerful Tools and Techniques to Blend the Subject with the Background in Photoshop! Right from making selections to creating shadows, in this tutorial, we'll go through the complete process of making the perfect composite step-by-step. Using interesting tools like advanced gradient maps, and dodging and burning to get the subject match the background.
In this part, we will focus on creating monochromatic composites. Firstly, we will make a selection using Color Range as the background is mostly separated by color. Then, once we place the subject in the background and set the correct size and level, we will use tools like Curves, Gradient Maps, Layer Styles, and perform dodging and burning to get the subject to blend.
In the end, to unify the whole composite, we will apply some global effects which will make both the elements one. I hope this tutorial helps you. Thank you so much for watching!

Once again, he is not only the expert teacher, but also a genius in his artistic use of sophisticated technology.
absolutely right
*an expert teacher
Then you probably don't know what you are talking about, he showed way too many redundant steps not to mention some incorrect stuff mainly the part about the lighting and overall really REALLY bad workflow which is the MOST important thing.
You shouldn't learn from it because it's trash as a tutorial, at least this video.
Barak Attias Can you give me an example of a good video regarding this? Just for reference.

Everytime when I think that he finished his work, it’s only half of the video! Another half of the video, he makes it perfect! Thank you for the work that you do, you really helping
I've seen a lot of photoshop tutorials. This is easily one of the best ones out there. Your video production quality is extremely high, your instructions are easy to hear and follow, there's no wasted time or gimmicks in the video, your methods are very effective and non-destructive, and your final image looks amazing. In addition to all that, you are very friendly and comfortable in front of the camera. Excellent tutorial. Thanks so much!
Excellent tutorial, Unmesh! Will really help on my composites! :)
Thank you, Diana! Really happy to hear that.
I love your style of teaching, soothing voice, cheerful smile and the quality of your tutorials! You are the best!
This guy is so amazing. He's not afraid to make his videos long, and that's how it should be. Learning how to use PS takes time. He even showed us how to open documents because "he doesn't want to keep us confused", while many youtubers just keep jumping steps that seem obvious (to them, at least). He is the best, hands down.
You make it seem so simple! The best thing is that you explain things in a way that a beginner will be able to understand. There is always something new to discover with your tutorials and you come across as incredibly likeable and easy to listen to!
This is actually legitimately amazing!!! I've been trying to figure this out for the longest time. I've watched videos about using the selective colour method, and colour balance, but your method is so much easier and less dependent on how colour blind a person is. You are an amazing teacher, and a genius. I wish you every success. Thanks.

JAJAJAJAJAJAJA!!!!!!
drop shadows on the hair is not good
hey man, thank you for the HQ videos !! very helpful
I'm pretty sure you just changed my life - very thorough explanations. Just when you think it's perfect, you make it even better! Bonus: credit given to the support team. LOVE THAT.
Wonderful work my man, keep it up. I've learned a thing or two.
What....how is this free? You are a gosh friggen darn GURU! THANK YOU!
Because some people actually care about helping people more than making money.
Man, that is an extremely useful tutorial as usually. It could not be explained any clearer than that. Thanks a lot
This man... he has changed my life. I so appreciate all I learn and continue to learn from these videos.
Your tutorial helped me another time as always brother.
Thank you again and again Unmesh.
Forget the matching subject with background part, I've been using select color range for years and years with great results and this just schooled me. I learned so much, Wow thanks!
Thank you so much for your tutorials! You make the information easy to follow...much appreciated!! And, thank you to the Patreons!!!!
Genius tutorial. I have been wanting to learn how to do a manual vignette and now I know. Thank you.
Best photoshop tutor I've ever seen !
I've been using Photoshop since the late 90's but your videos are teaching me loads of things I wouldn't have had a clue of how to do otherwise. Great videos, well explained, and useful. Keep up the great work.
Love watching your tutorials.
Clear and to the point.
You completely blew my mind with the Shift+Alt+click with the eyedropper tool. I had no idea you could do that!
Amazing tutorial that I have never came across so far.
Thank you so much Giruji.
I never thought an Indian accent would sound this soothing....
Also, great video!
You should listen to some yoga instructional videos! :)
I really like this accent compared to others. If this would be this normal Indian accent I wouldn't watch it. Seriosly, you're amazing!
@@alexanderreiner7694 It is north indian accent . You know about south indian accent.
@@brana5295 Not true. I have heard many north Indian politicians. Accents in south as well in rest of India vary, based on the kind of school they attend.
Another amazing experience with Photoshop! Thanks so much. You are raising my awareness of the concepts behind the tools, and I really appreciate that. You are an incredible teacher.
You are one of the best teachers I have seen. You know exactly what and how to explain and when ! Amazing !
Such clear explanations, and great teaching. So much patience too! Subscribed!
“make sure that the blackest black is not totally black”
and
“the brightest color is not bright enough, let’s make it brighter”
are my favorite quotes of this video 😂😂😂😂
in b&w it should be full black
timemark?
Dude, this is amazing work. We all appreciate your tutorials! Keep up the kickass work.
For all the tutorials I have been watching on youtube you have turned out to be the best. You explain every step very careful, you are perfectly audible. I would give you a 5 star for this.

THANK YOU!! I know you posted a while back...i'm just now after using Photoshop for nearly 30 years attempting to expand my knowledge and usage of it beyond my basic needs at work! YOU ARE A HUGE HELP! I've never though I really needed to expand my knowledge beyond what was required here at work....but I think I can do sooooooo much more if I only knew where to look ...before it was just get the image ready an email or catalog ...but I want to create!! only took me getting into my 50s to want to use PS to its fullest... better late than never and you are making it easy for me ...so again THANK YOU
You are amazing! Every lesson brings something new. Thank you.
I hate youtube for not recommending me your channel before! Nice job!
Waiting for this video thank you so much bro
I rarely comment but this is one of the best channels on youtube for photoshop! You explain everything thing insanely clearly and in a way which is totally easy to understand. Good job 👏👏
One of the best Photoshop tutorial i've ever seen on you tube. It is very learners friendly because it explains every passage very carefully.
Most satisfying voice, love this *channel.*
so satisfying listening to his voice
Thank you, Unmesh for presenting this in two parts. This presentation filled one half hemisphere of my brain and the other half eagerly awaits part two. GREAT job!
I can only say WOW! I've learned so much from your lessons. You're one of. Three channels that I watch mainly with the other two being Phearn and PSD. Thanks.
Came for the video. Stayed for the hair.
gay
All the hair
hahaha!
lol
LOL
the reason overlay does not spill out is because it paints over shades of gray but does not paint over 100% white of 100% black it will only paint over shades in between(for those who were confused why) buts amazing I never thought of using if in masks like that, just realised how un open my mind it :P thx man
PS: you dont need to hold alt to make a mark with eye dropper just shift is fine
Great videos! I’ve been working in photoshop for about 20 years, and your tutorials have shown me so many options on how to do things I’ve struggled with.. good work!
Great techniques here. One thing you didn't address is when there is a substantial resolution difference between the elements. Zoom in to this image and you'll see the lady is much finer resolution than the more pixelated and fuzzy background. Sometimes you may want to add noise or play with slight posterization on the finer element to bring it down to better match the less resolved element.
I noticed this as well. Great tutorial nonetheless though.
"specific shades of gray"
Me giggling in my head: 50 shades of gray lol
I love your Photoshop tutorials so much! I learned a lot already, it's all really helpful!
Love your work and I've started learning Photoshop with your tutorials. Thanks a lot.
Good stuff, however we must remember that on the shadow side of every object, there is always "reflected light." This light will be reflected from the ground or sky, etc. All professional photographers and those trained in the arts understand this. I was trained in classical drawing and painting. He should not be getting rid of reflected light. Taking out fringe light from the masking is proper, but he should explore the best ways to bring in natural-looking reflected light. This is where an artistic background (training) is beneficial, since you may have to paint some of this in or use some more sophisticated methods with blending modes to get the reflected light. To my eye, it is not natural to see all reflected light obliterated. This is the problem. If you study drawing and painting, you will know that it is OK to lose the line between subject and shadow in certain areas, but not to obliterate this distinction between the two altogether. In the arts, this is called "lost and found edges." If you google that, you can see examples of what I'm saying. Once you learn this principle, you work will progress to a much higher level. I'd like to see him address this problem in a future video. Perhaps with this same photo. To be clear, there is some lost and found edges going on, but the overall reflected light is not correct and not at all believable in this photo. I still appreciate his teaching though.
Totally agree! Too bad you made this comment almost 2 years after this video was made. It deserves more attention. There may be tons of people who don't have a background in art and have watched this video and are probably making unconvincing composites because they don't fully understand how light and shadow works.
Damn even his beard is perfect as his tutorial
Let's add curves
Another AWESOME tutorial Unmesh! You are an amazing instructor! Thank you so much for sharing your talents and enthusiasm! You have enlightened my world.
The effort he puts on teaching and making everything clear deservers all the subs!
First comment ❤️
You put shadow on wrong side, because if you put shadow on her right side then her left side must be brighter
I can't even imagine better tutorials than the tutorials you make👌. I'm a really BIG fan of you!!!
You are the one and only perfect teacher I have ever seen. Thank you.
He made me think I Kno nothin about ps 😂
"Now, we need to change the blend mode of this one to soft light. WHERE IS SOFT LIGHT ?! There it is.."
Really man! Never seen such a proper vdo on Photoshop tutorial!!!
The way you make things understand is fabulous bro! Keep it up
This was amazing, thank you very much! Really well made video and detailed too. Congrats!

Nabeel Anees dunno
if i knew all of this 3 years ago when i had time to play with photoshop 😭
I've been doing this kind of thing the same way for two decades (the long and arduous way). Thanks for showing me some new tricks!
you are the only channel where I start with liking the video before I watch it, and you never disappoint. You are awesome!
Download links are not working
what if the background image is colored?
Make sure that it's not 😉
I think you would still select the high, mid & low points and create a gradient map for the second image.
you have such a friendly voice, I had you playing on the background without needing this
Love both the grooming and the lessons ! Keep going!
