The Photoshop Tour Continues with Composite Images

Adobe Photoshop is the industry standard raster graphics editing software application. It is so synonymous with image alteration that “to Photoshop” or “that picture has been “Photoshopped” are commonly used terms. Photoshop can edit and compose raster images in multiple layers and supports masks, compositing and several color modes including RGB, CMYK, and others. In addition to raster graphics, Photoshop has the capability to edit or render vector text, vector graphics, 3D graphics and even edit video on a Timeline! This week we will look at two very different ways to start a project with three individual files and combine them into a composite image using Masks and multiple Layers in Photoshop, as we create a Panorama and a single image, Multi-Action shot.
