Background Image

The is  the background image on which I composited  another image. The sun seems to be near the top right corner. The shadows and the light on the man's head and shoulder tells us where the major light source is. Here the major light source is the Sun

Original Image

This was the image from which I cut out the 4th lady from the left and used that image for compositing.

Cut out

The 4th lady from the left of the above image was cut and the color, brightness and contrast were changed in comparison with the background image .

Compositing

The cut out image of the lady was composited over the background image. Blurring was done to reduce the sharp edges found around the pasted image. This was done to make the cut out image sink with the background. But, We haven't yet finished the complete compositing. There is no light effect on the pasted lady.

Final Image

The lighting effect of the light source was made to fall on the lady . For this, the image  was  zoomed in  and then the paint brush tool was used to paint the lady's head and hair black over-coat with grey and white paint. The sharpness created due to painting was blurred using the blur tool. The image was zoomed out to the normal ratio 1:1.  Hence this final composited image.
