Tip
There may be times when you want to create composite images with surfaces like
sand or snow. In situations like these, you can do a lot during the photo shoot that
will help considerably when it comes to retouching. Buy some bags of sand or
fake snow and spread it across the area where the model is standing during the
photo shoot. Blending their feet realistically into the new scene will be much easi-
er.
Shadows
If there's one thing that can make or break a composite image it's the shadows. I guess
we've all seen pictures where it seems as if the person that has been added to a scene is
levitating because the shadows just don't look right.
