hi,
I am getting a hold on using various meathods to paste a selected object (a person) into another image....
but the issue i have is matching the color tonality (i hope i am using the correct word) of the pasted person matching the image i pasted into!! ...
I have tried, the hue and saturation and curves, dodge and burn, brighness and contrast, and a couple of others on the selected person/object it still looks unnatural ..
I have looked for tutorials and haven't found the right one yet.. that address this..
does any one have any techniques or tutorials that can help me or is it just a matter expertise and expereience..

I will tell you, it is a matter of practice,
but a few techniques would be to try to match the lighting direction/color of the background image.
Also use color overlay with a blend mode in the "layer effects" menu, to try and match the color of the background.
maybe cheat a little by matching the background color to the "pasted" element, do all of this before combining the images, and once you do combine, then you can start adding addjustment layers to try and blend the 2 images together _________________ For great Photoshop tutorials and freebies, check out www.iammrknowitall.com
