What you'll learn

Throughout these lessons we are going to turn back the clock on a modern city street to the 1950s. We're going to use non-destructive photo editing techniques to combine multiple photographic elements into a whole new shot, including the addition of miniature cars. By the end of this tutorial, you will see how an eye for color, perspective, and composition can help a Digital Matte Painter in using photographic elements to create a shot for TV or Film. Software required: Photoshop CS5.
