Today we will learn the Basics of Compositing in Photoshop CS5,  based on a photo in my Flickr photo stream titled Collide. We will learn how to take components of an image and merge them with another image in Photoshop. I had a lot of fun on this one and I hope you’ll learn a lot and that it will fuel you to be more creative and expansive in your editing. Let’s get started!

Hey, this is a very cool tut! I love the collide image you did..very nice!
Awesome tut! even though I do not own a copy of Photoshop, this really gives me an insight of how much more powerful Photoshop is compared to Gimp,especially with photo manipulations… would love to see some Gimp tutorials too. 🙂
