AntiqueFlaneur Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I've edited a picture of a statue onto a TV Screen in Times Square after first making the screen white. It looks ok, but not totally convincing that it could be real. What would you suggest I do to make it look more realistic? I'm posting the .jpg and the Affinity file below.

David in Яuislip Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 Try Perspective tool Show grid Adjust nodes so that top & bottom guidelines are parallel with the lines of your frame which I've coloured green.

Aad Slingerland Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I suggest to fill in the (very) white background with a gradient color. Considering the tonals of the picture a blue-ish color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 needs a realistic background, so something like this statue distorted using perspective tool to better fit the frame, rectangle made to fit the white area and used to clip the BG Image, which in turn was distorted with the perspective tool. Finally a few hoof shadows to ground the statue.
