Digital Compositing

The process of integrating visual elements from multiple discrete sources into a single, cohesive image. Modern workflows blend traditional manual manipulation with AI-powered features to achieve seamless results.

Workflow & Technical Standards

• Document Configuration: High-fidelity output requires specific settings to maintain image integrity:
  • Resolution: High-density targets (e.g., 300 ppi).
  • Bit Depth: 16-bit processing to prevent banding in gradients.
  • Color Space: Utilizing adobe-rgb for a wider color gamut.
• Asset Pipeline:
  • Integration of lightroom for initial selection and direct importing into adobe-photoshop via the “Edit In” workflow.
• Techniques:
  • Utilization of both traditional layer-masking and advanced AI-powered features for element extraction and blending.

Core Principles

• Edge Blending and Alpha Channels
• lightroom and Luminance Consistency
• Perspective Matching
• Lighting Integration
