The basis for your photomontages: cropping people in Photoshop

The basis of every photomontage: cropping . In the training, Marco Kolditz discusses the possibilities and limitations of a new tool in Photoshop CC for automatically cropping a subject (Selection>Subject). Finally, he uses manual methods and shows you how to crop a person from the background using the drawing pen or a brush in masking mode. Pay attention to every detail!

Create a milky, creamy look

Once the person has been cropped, it's time to get creative with the photomontage . In keeping with the "chocolate" theme, the lady is first given a milky, creamy look. The tools used for this include a mask, smart object, an adjustment layer and filters. Your trainer will explain every single adjustment he makes so that you can fully understand his approach.

Create a chocolate coating with a convincing texture

What's missing for chocolate: chocolate. Step by step, your trainer will guide you towards creating a crunchy coating that is as convincing as possible. To achieve this, you once again work with adjustment layers and paint the coating on the person using a brush. So that the sweet brown doesn't look like a flat structure, give it a certain thickness and then add highlights. Finally, add milky and chocolaty drops and round off the entire composition with a filter.

Further ideas for your pictures

You can apply the procedure as a whole or in parts directly to your own photomontages . If you are looking for more looks, then let yourself be inspired by the tutorial on composing the black widow, for example, or awaken the spirit of sport in your pictures.
