Figure 5.28 The color of the model and the background don't match.
We could correct this in Photoshop using color adjustment layers, curves, and so on, but
here's a quick and effective technique to match the color without any adjustments. It's a
technique I use very often, and 99 percent of the time it will be all you need to do.
1. No matter which technique you used to bring together the cutout and the new
background, add a copy of the background scene to the top of the layer stack. In
this example, I used the blend mode compositing technique to add a new back-
ground behind the model, added a copy of the textured background to the top of
the layer stack, and named it texture-color ( Figure 5.29 ).
