Learn Photo Compositing in Photoshop 2026 (Start to Finish Project)

Download tutorial assets here: https://www.nucly.com/photo-compositing-in-2026 In this tutorial I walk through the basics of photo compositing in Photoshop 2026 by building a complete scene from start to finish. We take several separate images and combine them into a single composite using the core tools that make compositing possible in Photoshop. Along the way you'll learn the foundations of compositing including layer masks, subject cutouts, Select and Mask, blending elements together, and color matching so everything feels like it belongs in the same scene. This lesson is designed as a practical introduction to compositing. Instead of focusing on theory, we build a full composite together and cover the tools and techniques as they come up.
