-show all the images you used on a separate docx. Original, images, combo of images (ver 1)

-combination of all images should look like a photo realistic image. (combine different images to create a new area)
-make sure to match the lighting to make it realistic
-300 dpi, 2500 pixel wide

-apple C to crop

-everyone is the same head height (touching the invisible line)
-everyone disappears by the horizon
-place a key character/object to measure out everyone else
-take the apple b to get the window for color balance, apple u to get hue and saturation
-take the darkness and the light to change the shading
-make the drop shadow by making a layer underneath the image and  copying the nearest shadow (eye dropper tool)
--use polygon tool
--guazy blur (under filter)
--take down the opacity to make it look better
-keep in mind to take into account of the surroundings; if theres a bump, compensate for it by making your object/chara follow it or move it somewhere else
-shadows go right from the edges; adjust your shadows accordingly
-click on your layer and change the settings on the top left hand corner form "normal" to "color" to allow for reflective light; suttle
-for shiny objects, take the background/object, copy and paste onto the other object, select that layer, and go to the upper right hand corner and change the opacity
-non destructive way; bottom circle of layer win, go to add vector mask, the circular icon, you merge two images; when you paint with white, one image appears, paint with black the other image will appear and the other will disappear
--press x to cycle between the two colors
-flatten everything and add noiseat the end; check if everything blends together well first before flattening

in all images play with:
-value
-color
-saturation
-drop shadows

-6 images; put good time into it
