Hi
This is Manjot from lenspassions Photography,
I again come this week with new part of Image Redefined
I am using Nikon View NX to explore Images and opening them in Photoshop
I selected two images that I shoot in late
evening,
I shoot these pictures without tripod, so
I raised the ISO and kept camera on the stones
It will take some time , So kindly subscribe my channel and don't forget to click on the
bell.
Opening image in Camera Raw , this is late evening shot that I have already mentioned
shoot without tripod
Camera kept on stones , so the Image is not straight because of uneven surface
Image not required big changes in camera raw and I opened in Photoshop
First start to straight the image by using
crop tool
It Automatically fill in the edges of a cropped image with matching content using Photoshop's
Content-Aware Crop tool.
You’ll use the Crop tool with its Content-Aware option to rotate
and straighten this photo and automatically fill the area around the straightened image
with matching content.
You’ll also change the photo’s composition to a square and expand it beyond its original
boundaries,
relying on Content-Aware technology in the Crop tool to automatically fill in the outside
edges of the recomposed photo.
See this I checked mark to the right of the
word content aware on option bar and click
on tick ,
Photoshop is able to keep all of the image
captured by adding to the lake
 
and the mountains.
It looks pretty good to me.
So, I think that the content aware crop does have great tool.
Now I am cropping this image without using content aware ,
you can see without content aware , It losing
some of the image when it cropped.
Content aware cropping is designed to fix
that.
you can see the difference
So I always try to teach Photoshop feature in my video
I am again cropping image with content aware to save complete image
Now I am opening another image in Camera Raw filter that I also took without tripod in
late evening
This image is not good as I expected
, but I decided to composite
it with first Image
so open it in Photoshop
I have already selected the stones to add
in first images ,
Selection made by quick selection tools and
cleared the lake area
I selected rough here, you can take your time to more refine in mask properties.
I created new layer with selection in select and mask properties.
here is many tools to refine of selection
by painting brush or refine brush
After selection copy this layer and pasted
to the first image
After that I am opening a group where I have already created clouds.
here I created three new layers
and painted 3 clouds in each layer ,
So, I can make adjustment of each cloud separately
I always recommended to create new layer of each effect we want to create, so we can change
adjustment of color,
size
,levels
Curves
or any other adjustment
Now come to stones image that I have already selected to composite to main image by clearing
the rest of area
After that unhide
, you can see the pasted layer of stones with mask to this image
I have already transformed this image by using transform tools according to best suited composition.
Used Level adjustment layer to match levels of this image, if the image is more brighter
or more darker it will not look good.
So always use levels or curves to match the levels of main image
after that took a snap shot by using CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+E key
Converting layer to small object, so we can change adjustment anytime
I just used gradient filter in camera raw filter just add small orange tone some part of the
clouds
You can learn about camera raw filter in my previous videos , I added card above and also
added link in comments.
Now I am showing you another composite layer of sail boat
that I have already added a Sail boat in lake to look image better,
boat it was in white
, I used again level adjustment layer
to make it dark according
to the image requirement.
In the last I again take snapshot by using
CTRL
+SHIFT
+ALT
+E keys
and open in camera raw
and add radiant filter , and increased a little exposure and highlight to give effect of water
while sailing under boat
This is a final image.
Single image is not appealing me and I don't want to delete these images , so I composite
and manipulated both images to look more dramatic.
That's all for now , and don't forget to comment and also don't forget to give Ideas
So I create those videos those you want to watch.
Thanks for watching
