This is the final composite graphic I'm going to produce for the Fire Service Jeep Toys pages, showing a model Jeep in a real-world background photo.
The foreground element is photographed against a contrasting background which is similar to the color of the final background. I used a video camera, and grabbed a frame from the video.
In Photoshop, the foreground element is carefully selected and cut out of the image, and adjusted in size if necessary.
The background photo has been scanned in from the original source.
The foreground element is pasted into a separate layer on top of the background, so it can be positioned and color-corrected to match. Details on each layer, such as the firefighter's coat and helmet, can be retouched as necessary.
