Adjusting the final Composition

Even after you have cut the main portions of the work, you are not happy with the background, what can you do to adjust it? You can do 2 things. You either add or subtract elements to the background or use colour.

You need to have a soft copy of your papercut in Photoshop.

Delete the parts of the papercut you don't like. Next think about what you want to add to enhance your work. In this example, elements have been added to the back. The circles emphasise the hand movements and make the top half even heavier to make the Kung fu feat seem harder and more amazing.

When adding colour, the colour is used very sparingly. By using lines of colour, the depth and 3D effect is enhanced. When a big patch of colour is used, the work will flatten again.
