Hi all,
I searched the forum for this answer but haven't found any info, so here goes. I have a photo of a person in seated position. I've removed the background, featured, cut and pasted the person onto a new background. The new background happends to be a chaise lounge chair.
The person doesn't appear to be "sitting" on the chair, it's floating over the chair. I'm a navice, however, I have tried, shadows, beveling etc.
What I'm trying to achieve is having the "dents", if you will in the sofa. You know like when your seated the sofa or chair cushion defletes slightly under your weight. I hope I've explain this clear enough to be understood.
Please step by step instructions would be appreciated. I'm new to ps and couldn't understand some post because of missing steps.
So far for what I read on your post, my guess is the angle of camera.
The picture you cut and the picture that will 'receive' the edit has to be the same angle. That' a general rule and apply for basic editing in Photoshop like for Hollywood movie's editing.
After the light and the noise. It has to be the same as well to make the final render more real...
Anyway, it's what I think about it, fast like this...
For more details, send a sample. But you are in the right way, just be careful about the angle of camera.

Welcome to the forums nolajaz. Really the only way to get that effect is through artistry, using black and white brush strokes, a suitable amount of blur and noise and maybe a layer mask.
or...
Find a suitable photograph of the effect you want and use a multiply, soft light or combination of any blend mode with a mask to hide/reveal creases. Or, just a straight mask and copy from a source, with blending. _________________ If life serves you lemons, make lemonade!
