How to make object pasted into image look natural?




Is there any Photoshop 101 / techniques on how to properly move object so that object moved don't boldly scream "Photoshop!" at the viewer.


note: I am not asking about the video specifically, I am asking about moving people from probably different place in general
After 5 hours of learning I have compiled these:


Mindset



1. **Make sure the placed image ratio is good** to make it more realistic. This can be attained by checking with the other object in the output picture, like trees, or other peoples' height. You are not going to place human with the size much smaller than the other human at the same picture. Similarly, you also must not place a person with the height higher than a tree.
2. **Get the right perspective**. Sometimes, when an object is placed in an odd perspective, image is going to look very bold that it has been photoshopped or copy pasted.
3. **Lighting**. It is important to pay attention to light source, like the sun, and make sure our object is appropriate with output background light source. This can be done by adjusting the lighting of object and adding shadow with referencing other shadow in output image.


Tools (to make edges more realistic)



1. **Layer masking.** If moving people, hair can look awful if just plainly moved. Masking allows us to further tweak our selection.
2. **Refine edge.** *This tool allows you to control many aspect of the edge of your selection* (desired object to move), like Edge Detection (brushing the edges of object and let photoshop do its job, usually around dog fur), Feather (Soften the area of selection), Smooth (reduce pointiness of your selection), Contrast (somewhat opposite of smooth), and Shift Edge (moving feather far or nearer the selection, usually to remove excess background color near the edges). *REFERENCE: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lDr2Nd8Yl4>*
3. **Layer Matting**. Inside we have many sub-tools to work on, like Color Decontamination (spread out soft mask around the edge, usually for hair to catch other hair that accidentally masked or can be used similarly to Shift Edge), Remove Matte (soften edge of sharp graphic or pixalated, raster look). *REFERENCE: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6K_htNQPPA>*
4. **Image Calculation**. By playing with the blending, we can make the background darker; thus, helping us making mask. *REFERENCE: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zf-H9RoCNk>*
Hi


Normal behavior is that when you are using a tool, and then press and hold a shortcut key while you use another tool, Photoshop will jump back to the first tool when you release the key.


 


I watched your video, and this is not what is happening to you — you are releasing the keys. Two thoughts for trouble-shooting purposes:


* Can you try another keyboard?
* Can you try with a mouse?
* Have you tried resetting Preferences? This is different from uninstalling and reinstalling. Go to Prefs > General and click Reset Preferences on Quit.


Maybe another volunteer will have other ideas if these don't work.

Light takes the most important role on produce nice pictures  
  
There`re no fixed rules about photography, it`s an art so nobody have rights to say that the photo is good or bad...  
  
During rainy day, you should prepare camera`s water-proof jacket or an umbrella to protect it against water. Some expensive cameras have been equipped with water-proof material. Hmm, that looks strange (and it shouldn't behave like that ;-)). Have you tried resetting your Preferences? (restart Photoshop and directly hold Cmd-Option-Shift)? how about this:

this very simple example has a free camera. the parent of the camera is set to be the sphere. the sphere is rotating and the camera follows it according to the animating rotation.

the net visual isn’t super interesting, it basically just lo… basically, you could use picking from the camera to the center of the tag position to see if it is behind something.

if yes, you could manually adapt the style. well, transferring your data and transferring that and your settings are different. data, such as music, letters, video, pictures can burn to disk or copy/move to external drive. installed applications won't go, you'll have to reinstall from disk or download. on the other hand, you can transfer settings, favorites etc. use files and settings transfer wizard. or laplink software and cable. on some cameras, there is a setting in the menu screen to adjust the brighness of the screen. i would also suggest just using the viewfinder to take pictures as well. one idea can be videos have frames so, vectorize each frame and calculate dtw between two consecutive frames. this will help in gaining the difference in each frame and perhaps help in classification. hope this helps you. if i get this right you are trying to sweep1 circle and have the sweeps come to a point.

if that be the case, you either need to have the sweep paths cross and go far enough past each other to come to a point (at right) or you can place the cross section on the inside of the sweep path rather than …
