The
image shown
to
the right is a
perfect
example of
how the
compositing
technique can
be
used in
Adobe Photoshop to create interesting effects. Various objects, such as text and objects can be
added (and manipulated) to create this image.
Once the objects are positioned within the image, you can use various Photoshop painting
tools to blend the different objects with one another so they appear to be a single, seamless
image. By hiding all the layers except the background, the Brush tool and the Airbrush option
can be used to create the blended effect. (The images within the playing card and specific areas
of the type can be distorted using the Blur tool and the Sharpen tool.
Once the painting tools have been used, the layers can be displayed and rearranged to
achieve the effect you want.
