Sean Duggan (The Creative Digital Darkroom) focuses on exploring the art of the photographic composite with Adobe Photoshop CS3. Explorations range from simple collages, to combining two exposures of the same scene to control contrast, to the creation of surreal, photo-realistic flights of fancy. Topics include masking and knockout techniques; layers and layer groups; simple collages based on image overlays, blend modes, and opacity; precision collage control with layer masks; image transformation tools including Free Transform and Warp; using Smart Objects to preserve flexibility of transformed elements; creating a collage from different source photos; multi-exposure composites to control contrast; and matching color and lighting between images.
