Image editing with Photoshop Elements: Composing "The Wanderer"

In this video, Gabor discusses the topic of image ideas. He explains how he came up with his image idea and what approach he uses to convey an image idea to his model and his team.

Lighting setups should be customized for image montages so that the basic material later fits perfectly into the new scene. In this video, Gabor explains how he set up his photo set and how he uses the different light sources.

Even the smallest of features can make a huge difference to a motif. In this video, Gabor shows which materials he has worked with and how he uses them.

The cornerstone of a good portrait, before it is edited in Photoshop, is raw development in PS Elements. Here Gabor explains which controls are important for this motif.

The hiker already has a muscular body. But in this video, Gabor shows you how you can make your physique even stronger and how you can shape a few areas to your advantage.

The crop, as it was created during photography, doesn't always have to be the best - as in this video, in which Gabor explains what you should pay attention to with this motif and how you can correct this.

Changing the image section can result in pixels being lost or areas where no pixel information is available. Gabor shows you how to fix this problem in this video.

In this video, Gabor shows how he uses the quick selection tool to select a person. Some points are important and crucial for the process to actually work.

After the quick selection, it's straight on to one of the first corrections to the selection. This video shows you how to improve the contours in just a few simple steps.

Having already made selections and corrections for the mask, the next step was to improve the mask in detail. In this video, you can see which tools Gabor uses and how he goes about it.

In this video, Gabor shows you how he works on a dodge-and-burn plane to reshape the skin areas. This process also creates a subtle plastic look.

In this part, Gabor shows how he uses Dodge and Burn to change and reshape the areas of the clothing. As an additional function, the clothes can be made even dirtier.

This is where the really big journey of image editing begins. Here, not only is a new background inserted, but a completely new background is created.

In this part, Gabor shows how he can change the mood of the background in just a few steps. He also introduces a fine and subtle foggy atmosphere here.

There are many ways to add depth to a montage. In this video, Gabor shows how he uses blurring to add depth to the image.

In this video, Gabor shows how he artificially adds a non-existent light in Photoshop Elements. This approach is particularly advantageous because the lights can be controlled and moved very selectively.

The person does not always immediately match the brightness of a new motif. However, these can be controlled wonderfully by simply brightening or even darkening certain areas.

To ensure that the hiker actually fits more harmoniously into the scene, Gabor will adjust the colors better. The background color plays a major role in this, as do the individual colors of the clothing.

In this video, Gabor will introduce additional highlights into the motif. In just a few steps, he will explain how easily and quickly you can add non-existent highlights.

By overlighting the person, Gabor will create a fusion with the light from the background. This makes the motif more realistic and gives it a more intense effect.

To create a foggy atmosphere, Gabor will add a soft atmosphere to the ground on which the hiker is standing. The fog can be individually determined and shaped.

In this video, Gabor will overlay the clothing with texture. This will have the advantage of making the clothing look even dirtier and rougher.

The image look is determined in this step. In this video, Gabor shows how to bring a color into play as an image look as required and how these can be adjusted.

Gabor will use a free filter to fine-tune the motif. This filter will help to add a fine sharpness and high contrasts afterwards.

Gabor always likes to use a font in his motifs for the finishing touches. Like here, where he adds a little story to the motif with a font.
