In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the compositing workflow, which is outlined here:
1. Selection & Masking: The first step is isolating your element from it's existing background, which you'll achieve with selections and masks.
2. Placement: Next, you will integrate your element into your composite, adjusting size and location for a natural composition. Your primary tool here is FREE TRANSFORM.
3. Lighting & Color matching: Third, you will adjust lighting and color balance to ensure the element matches your overall scene. The two best tools for this—the Camera RAW filter and the Curves adjustment tool.
4. Blending and Effects: Finally, you'll use effects to integrate your element—adding shadows or highlights to create a realistic and cohesive composite. Here, the attention is in the details—custom brushes and overlays help a lot. Flares, dust, glows. You want your element to feel like it "lives" in your composite image.
