TUTORIAL DESCRIPTION

If you are a professional photographer, you absolutely need to learn the art of photomanipulation as this simple skill will allow you to offer much more than simple photos to your clients, you could offer them, like in this case, a trip back in time!

My friend Rivo Rareano at www.rivorareano.com created this tutorial exclusively for the members of this site using a photo he took of his son to create this beautiful “Lost World” art. In a Video Tutorial that last just about 2 hours, I will recreate his fantastic image and will explain to you step by step how Rivo created it and will also add my own little touch for the color grading. The end result is what you see above! In this Photoshop tutorial, you will not only learn about photomanipulation but also different color grading techniques.

NOTE: The kid comes in a PSD file, there are 2 layers, one with a background, one without. You can use the one without if you already know how to select and cut out a person with the pen tool.

Let’s start!
