ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the emphasis is on considering the ideas of collage and compositing and how to be creative in implementing changes and additions to images using the power of layers. Collage is supposedly derived from the French word coller, which means "to paste"-fitting to the idea of isolation that the people looked at early on in this book via copy and paste. Use the Panorama tool in Photoshop for quick results, then try the people hand at working the scene manually. In the end, the people still have to use layer processing techniques to get the best results and composite image from the HDR source images and their choices may be different from mine. This chapter lacked specifics in the step-by-step directions at points, quite by design. The core of this chapter lies in taking a broader view of images, in depth, breadth, and possibility.
