Photoshop tutorial: Master Photoshop CC’s new Perspective Warp tool for compositing photos
When working with images that are a composite of multiple photos, one of the most important factors is making sure everything follows the same lighting and perspective. Despite your best efforts to shoot photography to match a known background – or select two images that appear to match – even the slightest difference becomes obvious. However, with a new tool introduced to Photoshop CC this month, we can fix the issues using subtle perspective edits to deliver perfect composites. This tutorial will cover how you can use the new Perspective Warp feature in Photoshop CC to alter the perspective of an object to fit perfectly into your composite. Once you’ve mastered this technique, you can also use it to change the perspective of buildings, move walls, or far more complex shapes by work-ing with three or more perspective planes.

Photoshop tutorial: Get started with type art
Type art is popular at the moment for all sorts of reasons – and it’s a highly versatile skill to have. You can use illustrated lettering in projects ranging from posters to brochures – making it a great technique to add to your creative toolset.
But beware: type art is so popular at the moment that there’s a lot of crud out there. The rules are the same as for any aesthetic style: learn the basics carefully, and then be original.
With type-based art there’s a whole extra dimension, though: legibility. As our feature says, there’s some debate over how legible type-based art needs to be – but you should be able to make the lettering completely clear if you or the client feels the project needs it.
