Compositing can be known by other names. It can be combining , or making a collage, or photomontage. Whatever it's called, the goal is the same: To make one picture from pieces of other ones. Photoshop is the ideal program for this kind of work for several reasons. First, it has the tools to assemble pieces of different pictures. Second, it gives you the ability to work in layers. Third, its filters enable you to blend pictures and add shadows and reflections more easily and effectively than any other graphics program can.
