Swampcar Photoshop Training by Uli Staiger

Get the car out of the dirt – and turn it into a masterpiece!

Have you ever wondered how pros like Uli Staiger piece together a scene from a heap of completely different photos that looks so real you can almost smell the swamp? In this Photoshop training, you'll learn exactly that, without having to have studied computer science beforehand. We take a car, place it in a murky landscape, and make sure that in the end everything looks like it belongs right there.

The path to the final "Swampcar" is not a bone-dry theory marathon. Uli shows you step by step how to combine images with completely different focal lengths so that the perspective is right. You'll learn how to create a dense atmosphere with color and contrast adjustments and how to create real depth in an image so that your work doesn't look as flat as a flounder.

A real highlight: we tackle the details head-on! You'll learn how to use the Displace filter to create realistic reflections in the water, and how to not just place light sources but make them truly shine. Even recoloring gray to white – a technique many people despair over – is explained here in a very relaxed way.

This training is perfect for you if, in Photoshop, you still belong more to the "Where was the Move tool again?" crowd. It is specifically aimed at beginners and newcomers. You'll be taken by the hand so that in the end you don't just have a cool image on your hard drive, but master techniques you can use for every one of your next projects.

Grab the training, have fun pushing pixels, and transform the swamp into your personal graphic highlight!
