Adobe Photoshop is a fantastic tool for editing photos but unfortunately, it lacks the options that photographers need to manage and edit large numbers of photographs. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Photoshop and Lightroom to seamlessly edit your photos. We will begin by making some adjustments to a RAW photo in Lightroom. Then, we will show you how to export that photo to Photoshop to make additional changes. Finally, we will then explain how those edits will be made available to you in Lightroom automatically. Let’s get started!

Your initial sketch is one of the most important elements of a digital illustration or painting. Your initial sketch will set the tone of the rest of your artwork so it is important to get it right. Every artist has their own method of producing a sketch. Some artists sketch from memory, some sketch from a reference. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use a grid to help you sketch from a reference image. We will then show you how to turn that sketch into a realistic-looking "Man of Steel" inspired digital painting that conveys the same feel and intensity as the official promotional material of the movie with the addition of some strong lighting and motion effects. Let’s get started!

This is the detailed sketch of the main character. I used PS pencil tool to draw sketches. Always start with a big canvas, so that we can work with minute details. I usually work in a A3 canvas. You can download the sketch in high resolution from here.

One of the most challenging montage or masking jobs in the profession of post-production editing is the hair lift. When the model has long flowing hair and the subject needs to change location many post-production artists call in sick. Get it wrong and, just like a bad wig, it shows. Extract filters, Magic Erasers and Tragic Extractors don’t even get us close.

Step 1

The first Step is to open the picture with the human head. Select the pen tool and cut out the left part as I did in the picture below. This is going to be the right part also, because we are going to flip it in the next steps.
