How to add grass in photoshop?

[innerdream]

I did a search and found many threads but no how to guide.

Is there a good tutorial on how to do post - add grass, trees etc. in photoshop? I'm not very versed in PS.

 

Thanks in advance.

Adding in Photoshop requires:

 

1) Masking

2) Textures/libraries from appriopriate angles and perspective (although you can make those or change them in ps so thats not entirely true)

3) Good eye for - saturation, contrast and brightness - to fit it in all nicely and seamlesly.

 

All you need is some practise IMO. I learned on a trial by error basis.

Thank you. I'll look into those things.

One other thing to add to this: A shadow pass so you can effectively add shadows that are casting onto your grass in PS.

I have had good results lately using the shadow/matte material and with the grassy sections I apply this max material over a backround showing a field of grass. I avoid tiling this way and with some experimentation it is quite realistic.
