Description This is a short tutorial I wrote for CRPhotomanipulation  's Manip Academy project. 
I explained a few tips for blending an object into a hazed landscape background. This small guide will probably be most useful for people who already got the hang of the most basic photoshop tools because I don't explain how to create adjustment layers or how to work with blending modes. For that I refer to other tutorials.
Shoot if you have any questions!

The stock images I used are the following:
 
Thanks a lot to the stock providers!

Yup, it is mostly about adjusting the contrast to the surroundings and there are several ways to do that. I'm glad it was helpful!

The more options I have to blend things and give them a better result the happier I am, this was extremely useful in not only that department but it also gave me knowledge about the bluish environmental haze. I honestly never gave its color much thought and never bothered to look it up.

Rippie92 [2014-10-14 22:36:10 +0000 UTC]

ist an sich ja easy, aber gut zu wissen. ich hab so'n kram bisher immer nur mit softbrushing und variierender helligkeit bei ähnlichen farbtönen gemacht. deswegen siehts bei mir bestimmt auch scheiße aus haha

für das ende vom tutorial hätte ich es cool gefunden, wenn man das ganze bild mit dem schloss nochmal sieht, damit man es in der zusammenhängenden szene noch einmal als eine art "outcome" sieht. ansonsten; schönes tutorial! den verweis, mit clipping masks zu arbeiten, empfinde ich ja fast am wichtigsten. meine alten psds sind voll mit bildberechnungen und ab dem punkt ist man an sich in 'ner sackgasse. ich weiß nicht, wie viele das so machen, aber man sollte es sich schleunigst abgewöhnen. benutze applied images auch nur noch zum schärfen am ende (y)

ErikShoemaker In reply to Rippie92 [2014-10-15 20:55:06 +0000 UTC]

haha, ja die Technik dahinter ist nicht wirklich schwer. Aber ich wollte einfach mal allgemein erwähnen was man so beachten sollte, weil ich das immer wieder sehe und vielen Leuten das glaube ich gar nicht klar ist.
Die Technik mit den Bildberechnungen kommt ganz klar von den vielen alten Sigtutorials. Wenn man irgendwelche Filtereffekte einbauen will, geht das ja oft auch gar nicht anders. Aber sobald man was bearbeiten muss kann man die psd dann vergessen.
Hab das Outcome jetzt unten dran gehängt.
