BRING IT TOGETHER
In Photoshop, open the Grid image. Open your
first landscape. Press Ctrl/Cmd+A to select it,
Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy and Ctrl/Cmd+W to close
it; in the grid, press Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste it in.
Set the Blending Mode to Screen so that it only
appears in the black parts of the grid. Press
Ctrl/Cmd+T for Free Transform Mode, then
resize and reposition. Draw around the square
you want it to appear in with the Rectangular
Marquee Tool. Click the Add Layer Mask icon to
mask it off. Repeat for the other three seasons.PRO SHOT Changing seasons
Capturing the same scene at different points of the year is a fantastic
way to build up a portfolio of landscapes and create a wonderful
collage. It also gives you something to work towards throughout
the year, and you can see how your photography has progressed
compared with previous years. We’re hoping to catch a better
snow-filled landscape for our winter scene in 2022!
PRO ADVICE Photoshop templates
In this issue’s download, you’ll find the free Grid.jpg template start
image: it’s a square template with four equal slots in it for your shots.
It measures 20 x 20cm at 300ppi, so will easily print on a sheet of
A4 paper, although you could resize it for different papers. Have
a look online for other free templates, or have a go at creating
your own custom design in Photoshop, too.http://www.digitalcameraworld.com FEBRUARY 2022 DIGITAL CAMERA^51
