Step 2
In this step we will be creating the BG landscape using multiple images.
1) Import the image of the river on to the canvas and place it on the left side of the
scene as shown.
2) Now import another image of the same river and place it on the right side. Then
by using the Eraser tool(E) erase the sharp side of the image as shown to blend the
two images perfectly together. (Note: While aligning the river images, make sure the
wave in the same line. This could help in proper aligning.)
3 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 3
In this step we will be removing the boats from the scene using the Stamp tool (S).
1) Create a new layer above the river layer and select the stamp tool, then set the
Aligned Sample option to Current & Below. Now press and hold the alt button
(Same on both Mac and PC) and select the adjacent area of the boat and clone out
the boat as shown.
4 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Similarly clone out the other boat from the scene.
5 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 4
In this step we will be separating the sky into a new layer for further advancement in
the landscape development.
1) Before we proceed further merge all the landscape layers, then by using the
Lasso Tool (L) select the entire landscape image leaving the sky as shown. (Note:
Selection of the hill need not be accurate.).
6 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Now open the Refine Edge option and paint the edges of the hills and trees using
the Refine Radius tool to get the perfect edge selection. To get the perfect edge
selection set the Contrast level to 2% , Shift Edge to -7% and Edge Detection
Radius to 0.3px. Then set the Output to New layer and press OK.
7 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
3) Similarly cut the sky from the image into a new layer.
Step 5
In this step we are going to create a distant hills beyond the flora covered hills by the
river.
1) Import the image of the distant hills on to the working canvas and place the image
layer in between the river and sky layer, then position it as shown in the scene.
8 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Now create a Curves adjustment layer to the distant hills layer and raise the Red
curve slightly as shown.
3) Now by using the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer reduce the Saturation level to
-61.
9 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 6
In this step we are going to place a rock in the scene on which our character will be
seated.
1) Import the image of the rock on to the scene and place it at the bottom center of
the scene as shown.
2) To blend the shade of the rock with the climate increase the Gamma Correction
level of the rock to 0.87 using the Exposure adjustment layer.
10 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 7
In this step we will be creating a rough water flow in the river.
1) Import the image of the rough water flow on to the canvas and place it on the left
side of the rock as shown. Then by using the eraser tool erase the sharp edges of
the image to blend it perfectly with the landscape.
11 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) As you can observe that the water of the river is in greenish color so create a
Curves adjustment layer to the water flow layer and slightly increase the Green
curve as shown.
12 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
3) Now by using the Exposure adjustment layer set the Gamma Correction level to
0.70.
13 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 8
Now were going to add a building to our scene. Cut out and paste in your building
photo like below.
Then use a layer mask to mask off the edge of the building, fading it into your main
scene smoothly.
14 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Using the Hue/Saturation adjustment layer set the Saturation level to -60
15 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
3) As you can observe that the water of the river is in greenish color so create a
Curves adjustment layer to the water flow layer and slightly increase the Green
curve as shown.
16 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
0.70.
17 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 9
Create a new layer on the top of the layer palette and create a vignette for the
dramatic mood in the scene.
Step 10
In this step we are going to cut the image of the central character from source image
using advanced cutting options.
1) Select a mask around the model as shown using the lasso tool or a magic wand
tool.
18 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Now open the Refine Edge option and set the smooth level to 1, Contrast to 4%
and Shift Edge to -3%. Then paint the edges of the model with the refine radius tool
to select every fine detail of the model.
- Now set the Output to New layer and press OK to get the fine cut image of the
model on to a new layer.
19 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
20 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 11

1) Select a hairbrush from the brushes palette and paint the hair extension behind
the model as shown using the color #bdbab1.
23 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Now by using the color #706d66 paint the shaded hair as shown. Make sure to
maintain the hair flow during the brush strokes to make it look natural.
Step 14
In this step we are going to paint the hair flaunting over the neck and flowing towards
the front of the model.
1) Select a hairbrush with more hair strands and select the color #c7c1b1 paint the
24 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
hair as shown on the model in a new layer.
2) Now select a hairbrush with less but thick hairs strands and paint the hair as

1) Create a new layer over the hair layer and select the mask in shape of the hair by
clicking on the hair layer thumbnail by holding Command key (Mac) and Control key
on PC. Then paint the shadow over the hair as shown.
27 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Now paint the shadow over the hair behind the model as shown.
28 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
3) Since the hair is covering the front portion of the model create a new layer under
the hair layer and paint the shadow over the model as shown, which is cast by the
hair.
29 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 16
In this step we are going to create water splash effect around the rock caused by the
waves hitting it.
1) Create a new layer under the rock layer and paint the water splash as shown
using the white color.
2) Now create another new layer over the rock layer and paint the water splash as
shown.
30 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 17
In this step we are going to create fog in the scene.
1) Create a new layer under the vignette layer and paint the fog as shown in the
image.
2) Now select the eraser tool and choose the same fog brush from the brushes
palette and erase the previously painted fog slightly.
3) Now reduce the Opacity of the fog layer to 76%.
31 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50

1) Import the image of the dead branches on to the working canvas and place the
branches on the left side as shown.
33 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Create a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to the branches and set the Saturation
level to -35.
0.81.
34 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
4) Since the branches are imagined to be closer to the scene they must be blurred in
order to create the DOF to the scene. Hence with the dead branches layer selected
add Gaussian Blur of Radius 5.0px.
35 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
Step 20
In this step we will be color correcting the whole scene.

proceeding with this step merge all the layer of the scene into a single layer.
1) Create a new layer and paint the water drop on the screen as shown on the right
side of the scene.
40 dari 46 25/06/2014 7:50
2) Using the Lasso tool cut the scene in the shape of droplet into a new layer.
3) Now merge both water droplet and the cut image of the scene together and add a
Gaussian Blur of Radius 7.0px to get the desired effect.

Thank you for this great tutorial well explained!
For hair, I had to use a different bruh, because I did not know how to do
and I had some technical difficulties with the final drops.
But I liked it and here is my result:
