[photoshopmama]

@sunil144115feb Drag with the move tool or Select All, Edit Copy your extracted layer into the new background document and then Edit Paste it (if you used that method) then Edit Transform the extracted subject layer to desired size.Make sure the extracted subject layer is above the small object layer.

good videos

Inspiring! I love your non-destructive techniques.

Hi Photoshopmama, another great video explaining the tips and tricks for green screening, i was thinking if buying one for myself recently. Do you think daylight works fine with a green screen, i mean the reflections and stuff.

Another question: near the half of the video (13:34) you were talking about a "Target image". What's that and how do you get it?

Thanks for the great video!

[photoshopmama]

I was just referring to one of the two images for compositing; one is the target being brought into the destination image. I've got more coming in this series so other ways of blending will be shown. Also, you DON'T necessarily need a GREEN backdrop, any solid color will do. White and black work as well but the only problem with those is its a bit bit more work because subject highlights and shadows on edges of subject can blend too closely to the bkgrd. Non-flesh and non-hair colors work best.

[platypus03]

Oh ok, i was referring to the document you suddely dragged in the screen. Maybe i didn't paid enough attention at the moment. I don't really have questions about that, i'm more curious why it suddenly popped in. ;)

[photoshopmama]

I was showing a menu command rather than dragging, watch it again.

[photoshopmama]

I also referred to the pivot reference point inside of the Transformation bounding box as a target because a lot of folks tend to go for that pivot point as a target to click/drag move the box...but it only moves the pivot reference point.

You are so cool. There is another guy on youtube who does photoshop very well but I stopped watching because he said that his teachings will be spaced cause he isn't getting paid....(WTF?).....I really love all your vids Mama Shan.And now that iam first.lol.I have a question.How do you take a pic that your not in and blend it with another photo that you would like to be in.Like if I had a pic of me and you and wanted to blend the 2 as if we took it together.THANXX SO MUCH LOVE YA!!!

[megaparvin]

thats easy man, import one image then another on top as another layer then just change the opacity of the layer to bring the image underneth threw :) easy lol xD

[photoshopmama]

I don't know who you're talking about but none of us actually get paid 4 doing this so if he has to space them out because he has to earn a living doing his job, be compassionate about that. It's been a couple of months since I posted any new stuff for that very reason. We have to support our families and prioritize our time accordingly. Don't stop watching him...support & appreciate him more so he will be inspired. All we have is that...without appreciation...I would be less likely to do this.

[photoshopmama]

I'll work up to an exercise on this in this series at some point. Right now I'm focusing on one subject and different background images and things you can do there. Thanks!

[photoshopmama]

I also want to expound upon a very good point you brought up about content authors not getting paid here on YouTube. So the ways others can encourage us to continue is to do ALL of the following, Subscribe to the Channel, Comment, Rate 5 stars, Add to Favorites, Share, Add to Playlists and subscribe to Playlists. If an author takes time to produce something for you to learn from and you learn even one thing...the least anyone can do is rate or comment with a thank you.

[photoshopmama]

I appreciate every comment, subscription and rating and being favorited, although my stats on that aren't as good as they should be for the amount of views some of my vids get.
