Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 02 Raw development

The first step in this image processing will be to develop the two portraits in Camera Raw. Detail extraction plays an important role here. The raw development settings are also transferred from the first to the second subject with just a few clicks.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 03 Aligning portraits

In this video, Gabor shows you how to align two different faces. A few small adjustments will help.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 04 Merging portraits

In this video, Gabor shows you how to merge two different motifs without additional layers. Hair is also inserted, for which no blending modes or brushes/brushes are necessary.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 05 Lengthening clothes

If the image section is too small, the garments can be extended for a larger section or you can simply take another motif from a series shot to add it on.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 06 Adjusting the shape

In this video, Gabor shows you how you can adjust the shape of two different people in a few simple steps without alienating them.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 07 Retouching

Two people fused together also deserve a basic retouch. In this video, you can see which tools Gabor uses and which settings he applies.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 08 Insert background

Backgrounds don't always have to be flat and boring, especially if it's a gray background. Watch the video to see how you can improve it for a portrait in just a few steps.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 09 Dodge and Burn (skin)

Painting with light is used here to make the portrait even more intense and three-dimensional. Not only is the shape remodeled, but a few details are also "tickled in" to create more depth.

Fusion - The Morphing Workflow in Photoshop - 10 Dodge and Burn (Clothing)

In this video, Gabor shows you how he uses just one layer and one tool to make clothing more three-dimensional. Non-existent highlights and shiny areas are artificially painted in with Photoshop.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 11 Coloring eyes

In this video, Gabor kills two birds with one stone - on the one hand, the eyes are brightened even more intensively and, on the other, the irises are colored differently.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 12 Lighting scenes

To direct the viewer's focus, Gabor uses three simple adjustment layers to reset the brightness in the portrait. This also makes the subject much more exciting and gives it a slightly darker mood.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 13 color looks

In this video, Gabor will create a color look that suits both people. There is also another look that ensures that the two halves of the face have two different color moods.

Fusion - The morphing workflow in Photoshop - 14 Finale

The final processing of this portrait will take place on a single layer, to which only one filter will be applied. You can see how Gabor adjusts the fine-tuning to suit his taste in this video.

Details of the content

Combine, compose, morph ...

Photoshop makes it easy to combine image elements from different sources. To ensure that the result is not just a patchwork that is copied together and not very realistic, there are numerous methods for image editors that can be used to generate coherent and consistent compositions from several parts.

Gabor Richter, an experienced Photoshop craftsman and artist, takes you and your image editing skills to the highest level of composing in 15 detailed lessons. Follow the process of a professional who creates a new character from two portraits. Get tips and tricks and learn techniques that you will be able to fully master and apply after the course. Theory paired with practice, directly comprehensible on the enclosed work files.

At the beginning of the course, you will prepare the two portraits in raw development and use the correct settings to ensure that details are obtained and that the images receive the same and polishing treatment. The next steps are all about perfect blending - nose to nose, lip to lip and forehead to forehead, the faces are aligned and woven together, with additional facial hair and other elements creating a seamless transition. The clothing is given a little more fabric, the elements are retouched using suitable methods and the shape of both people is adjusted by morphing without losing the individual expression of the two halves.

After the initial collision of the two portraits, the final fusion follows: using dodge and burn on the skin and clothing, highlights and shadows are refined in a targeted manner to make the composition more three-dimensional and make it shine. A new background and focus-directing lighting provide the viewer with even more tension, while the different coloring of the left and right irises and a two-part color look reinforce and emphasize the ambiguous character of the two-men-one-person portrait. At the end of the course, the final touches are applied using a filter.

What will you gain from this course?

Increase your knowledge of image composition and improve your Photoshop skills to combine and coordinate different elements even more elegantly in the future. Using a practical example, you will learn how to create a coherent and convincing overall appearance from two parts that seem to come from a single mold. With the included work files, you have the opportunity to follow each individual step yourself, so that during the training you will get to know the methods shown both theoretically and practically. Dodging and burning, aligning parts of the image, using light and shadow in a targeted manner or creating image looks ... techniques that you can then apply to your own work afterwards.
