Really helpful! I'm starting to do matte paintings and this is really useful.

For the photos, what's the minimum resolution that you recommend?

Thanks.

Bigger = better.
I suggest you to use at least 1kx1k pixel stock images. That's what I do.

Can you explain to me how "digital matte painting" is any different than "photomanipulation"?

Is it just a new term for the same thing?

I just recently discovered what matte painting was, and man does it look awesome! (well, aside from things like removing power lines and such XD)

Nice tutorial

This tutorial is just what I was looking for! The only minor point of critique is that it isn't easy to read - a darker shade of grey for the background would help.
Thanks for the info and the inspiration!

how do you use the gradient tool for creating skies? Great tut by the way, I will post my first go at it soon.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

cagdasyoldas In reply to Guthlaf [2006-11-15 10:39:11 +0000 UTC]

to create a sky, quick mask gradient tool is the best way...
just choose a base sky color (blue.. for example) then use quick mask gradient tool to add desaturated horizon line, to add sun's direction etc... that tool is really flexible.
