Making a composite image look natural is one of the toughest challenges in Photoshop. Matching lighting, color, and mood across different elements often takes hours of manual adjustments. But Adobe’s new Harmonize feature—available in the Photoshop Beta—is changing that.

This tool automatically analyzes your background and adjusts your subject to match it. In seconds, you get consistent lighting, tones, and atmosphere—no more endless fine-tuning of curves, levels, or color balance.

In the video below, Colin Smith will walk you through how Harmonize works, how to access it, and why it might be one of the most powerful compositing tools Adobe has released in years.

If you work with composites, this is a feature you’ll want to start using right away.
