Crimson Flight: From Photos to Finished Composite in Photoshop

Download assets here: https://nucly.com/crimson-flight-tutorial In this tutorial, I rebuild Crimson Flight from the ground up and walk through the full compositing process in Photoshop—from raw source photos to a finished cinematic image. This project is a great example of how strong compositing fundamentals still drive the final result. We’ll build the environment, integrate the subject, shape the lighting, and add the atmospheric details that make a composite feel believable. Along the way you’ll see how modern Photoshop tools speed up selections, cleanup, and blending—while the core compositing techniques remain the same. You’ll learn how to: Extend and build environments from stock images Blend multiple elements into a cohesive scene Use modern Photoshop selection and cleanup tools effectively Shape lighting and atmosphere to sell the illusion Push a composite from “assembled” to polished This tutorial is one of the three full projects inside the Grape Escape compositing course, where each project breaks down a different compositing challenge and workflow. If you enjoy compositing breakdowns like this, you’ll see exactly how the image was constructed step by step.
