Place crow 4 at the top right of the pic. Then use a soft black brush with opacity about 30-40% to erase the wings, tail (on Curves layer mask): I used Curves to brighten this crow a bit. I used a Brightness/Contrast layer to change the contrast of the crow a little:Īpply Inner Shadow effect to add light to this crow:Įxtract crow 3 and move him to the bottom left of the image:Īpply a Gaussian Blur of 2 px for this crow to add depth to your picture: Isolate crow 2 and position him at the top left of your picture: I want to add more light to the crow, so double click crow layer, choose Blending Options: Use the Burn Tool to darken the claws more: Make a new layer using settings as in step 9.

To get a subtle effect, I lowered the opacity of this group to 50%: I used a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to reduce the saturation of the clouds:īecause the mode of this group changed from Pass Through to Normal, these adjustment layers only affect the layers within this group (clouds ones). On clouds 2 layer, choose Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Curves: I named these layers “clouds 1” and “clouds 2”. Change the mode of this group from Pass Through (default group mode) to Normal 100%. ![]() To edit all clouds layers together, select all these layers then hit Cmd/Ctrl +G to create a group.

Use the Magic Wand Tool (W) to make a selection around the cloud part and set the feather for it to 30: In this step we’ll add some cloudy effects to the image. I named 4 these layers from “light 1” to “light 4”: Use a layer mask to erase or reduce light intensity to create a more natural look:ĭo the same with a new layer but lower the brush size to 3 px to create a stronger highlight: On a new layer and I used this brush again with opacity and flow about 50 -55% to paint over the shoulder and right arm to make them brighter:Ĭreate another new layer and repeat step 10 but choose brush size of 5 px and apply Gassian Blur of 3 px: I used a layer mask to reduce the light intensity: Go to Edit-Stroke and pick color #ced1d1 with brush size of 18 px: Hold Cmd/Ctrl while clicking on the thumbnail of the model layer to load its selection: In this step we’ll add light to the model.
