How to use Photoshop for painting out objects (and exporting for Fusion)

In Part One of this series, you learned how to use a clean plate from Photoshop and track it in Resolve Fusion to remove an object. But we skipped the ‘create a clean plate in Photoshop’ step.

In this Insight, you learn the raster-painting techniques I used to remove that object. We’ll go over a number of color and setup options for your working canvas, and also explore many paint tools and blend modes. This is a full step-by-step walkthrough of my entire process.

Key takeaways from this Insight

By the end of this Insight, you should understand how to:

  • Set up a Photoshop project for paint work on a film plate
  • Use Photoshop’s content-aware tools, clone, layer copies, and regular paint strokes to paint out an object and fill in missing details, along with many tips and tricks
  • Organize layers and know how to export multiple layers for use in Fusion
