PHOTOMANIPULATION
- MATCH COLOUR
FOR CONSISTENCY
The Match Color command (found in Image>
Adjustments) is cited as a great tool for quickly
bringing together different photos and giving them a
consistent colour to form the basis of your painting.
“This tool is very helpful to do a very fast rough colour
correction of your images to match them. In the end,
this is all you need because you will overpaint them
anyway. This key tool helps me to create a solid and
fast basis for my painting,” says Tony Andreas Rudolph.
Jakub Skop (www.artstation.com/artist/
jakubskop) is also a big fan of the Match Color
command in his photobash projects: “The most
important step is choosing pictures with a similar
texture and fitting them together in terms of colours.
All discrepancy between the colours can be managed
by using the Match Color option. Curves and Color
Balance come in handy as well. One of my favourite
elements are all kind of fogs and smoke, which adds a
lot to the overall atmosphere and mystery, but most of
all it adds a lot of depth and helps to divide the picture
into a fore-, mid- and background. I put a lot of effort
into creating a proper atmosphere in my works
through colour choices. Proper colour balance and
lighting makes the image look like one whole.”
