This is a Complex and Detailed Tutorial with Plenty of Advice and Instructions from a Seasoned Pro
Whether you’re creating your own artwork or tackling client work, you’ve probably asked yourself once or a few times before: "How can I possibly make this crazy idea come to life and look real?". The answer to that question is not a short one, however, more often than not, you would resort to finding and manipulating stock photos. In this tutorial, I’ll share and show you the typical technical and creative pipeline that I personally go through when I create this type of imagery.

But if you were wondering if this is possible in older versions then download the plugin that lets you do just that in older versions..

Have fun!! and Keep sharing!!
@braind0ubt – Yah, there are probably about 150 tutorial files to download now. I haven’t counted them lately. The tutorial files go back to just a few months after we launched, so almost a year back now. Lot’s of files to download. Thx.
Amazing tutorial, I LOVE IT. I love having a membership, best money I’ve ever spent. Keep it up PSD tuts.
Looks amazing, but no plus membership.
nice effect. though the shadows are too harsh for that level of lighting…
This one is my favorite, love the lights and holes on statues.
Too bad it’s only for tuts+
super cool bad luck i don hv membership….(sad)
Great final outcome but I felt the tutorial lacked in explanation at certain points. I had to employ extra techniques on some aspects to make it look like the example. Nonetheless, satisfied, thanks!
Waaaaa…. I Really need this membership. :”(
This is stupid
very good. Il est très bien expliqué.
