    How to correctly size a person in a composite

    Hi

    Do you have any advice for correctly sizing a person placed in a composite? Imagine someone composited onto a bridge. How do I know how big they should be (if I didnt photograph a stand-in at the time of the shoot if the bridge)?

    Regards

    Anything you can use as a reference of scale is good. Anything you can in fact measure. You can consider a known reference point relative to the approximate height of the model. You may not know either one precisely, but I know I've only commented if something looks obviously way off. I know I can get closer with some reference guidelines than by eyeballing, so if I notice something right away just by eyeballing, it's usually significant.

        You possibly will not know either one precisely, yet I know I've only mentioned if something looks clearly way off.

          Hello Everyone, I just finished creating this composite, which I thought I'd share and see if anything needs to be done in order to really finish it off. The background is created from 10 separate images which I shot myself. The tigers are stock images that I isolated and put into this image. I shot...

          Draft composite - what would you do
          by petersweden
          Hi

          I want to create a composite where my model seems to be hanging from the ledge of a cliff. I have done a very rough draft of the composite just to see if it is worth spending a few hours doing a real composite.

          What is your opinion? I am also not sure how to determine her...
