Editing Session : Image Compositing and Masking in Photoshop

Greetings friends, it's been a minute! I'm happy to share that I've made a new Editing Session video.

In this Editing Session video I'll be breaking down the steps of how I edit stop motions using Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop. I'll demonstrate skills like: how to composite images together, how to clean up images using the patch and spot healing brush tools, and how to use lots (and lots) of layer masks to create a seamless and clean finished product.

My favorite editing tool that I used to edit this stop motion is my Wacom Intuos Pro tablet. I've been using a Wacom to edit my photos for nearly two years now and I am not exaggerating when I say it has been life changing. Dear fellow photographer friends, if you are still editing using a mouse or just a touch pad to edit your photos, you should think about trying out a tool like this! Click here if you'd like to learn more about the Wacom and how it can enhance your editing skills.

I tried something new in this editing session video; instead of just a voice over, I recorded a video of myself to go along with the editing process in the screen capture. I'd love to hear your thoughts about if this kind of video thumbnail is helpful or if just the voice over is less distracting - leave me a comment here or on my YouTube Channel!

Here's the stop motion we'll be editing!

Without further ado, here's the video!
