An inspiring image idea for your own photomontage in Photoshop

Use individual methods to apply them in your composing work or recreate the "chocolate" completely yourself using your own photos.

The basis for your photomontages: cropping people in Photoshop

The basis of every photomontage: cropping . In the training, Marco Kolditz discusses the possibilities and limitations of a new tool in Photoshop CC for automatically cropping a subject (Selection>Subject). Finally, he uses manual methods and shows you how to crop a person from the background using the drawing pen or a brush in masking mode. Pay attention to every detail!

Create a milky, creamy look

Once the person has been cropped, it's time to get creative with the photomontage . In keeping with the "chocolate" theme, the lady is first given a milky, creamy look. The tools used for this include a mask, smart object, an adjustment layer and filters. Your trainer will explain every single adjustment he makes so that you can fully understand his approach.

Create a chocolate coating with a convincing texture

What's missing for chocolate: chocolate. Step by step, your trainer will guide you towards creating a crunchy coating that is as convincing as possible. To achieve this, you once again work with adjustment layers and paint the coating on the person using a brush. So that the sweet brown doesn't look like a flat structure, give it a certain thickness and then add highlights. Finally, add milky and chocolaty drops and round off the entire composition with a filter.

Further ideas for your pictures

You can apply the procedure as a whole or in parts directly to your own photomontages . If you are looking for more looks, then let yourself be inspired by the tutorial on composing the black widow, for example, or awaken the spirit of sport in your pictures.
