At today's occupation, we will clearly consider the creation of an emotional, sensual drawing in the dark forest. The main hero of the picture will be a deer. To purchase a solid episode, different pictures are combined into a general image, for this use correction layers, a layer mask and eventually get light, shadows, etc.
This occupation is performed using the Adobe Photoshop program of SS 2014, but it is possible to use other versions of SS 2014 and newer.
Applied materials:
- deer
- voron
- nebula texture "nebula"
- the texture of burning lights ("Starry 4").
Chronology of creation
Action 1.

Action 4.
Choose the brush tool (Brush Tool). Brush soft, black color. In setting up the tool, install by 30% "opacity" (opacity) and "Press" (Flow). Being on the Mask-layer of the filter "Blur in Gauss", clean the blur. The photo below shows the zone: 
The result was the depth in the future Figure: 
Action 5.
Adjust the "Bright / Contrast" layer (Brightness / Contrast), use a form that hides another image so that only the circuits of the clipping mask remain noticeable, in other words, it is necessary to attach the adjusting layer "Brightness / contrast" to a layer with a forest. It is necessary to hold the key (ALT) and bring the bright / contrast between the corrective layer "Brightness / Contrast" and a forest layer. Then click the left button. As a result, they attribute a corrective layer to a layer with the forest.
Install brightness indicators - 62 and contrast - 46 
Action 6.
Add the correction layer "Color Balance" (Color Balance) and use the "Create Clipping Mask" with it.
After executing the previous step, where correction layers were added, the following indicators are used for shadows: for the red shade, it is set to 19, green - 7, blue +7. For halftone (Midtones): Red - 24, green - 21, blue +5. For light (Highlights): Red - 15, green - 10, blue - 2. 
As a result, it turns out: 
Action 7.
In this action you need to reduce the amount of yellow shade in the picture. In this case, use adjustment. To do this, select the "Selective Color" command and use "Create Clipping Mask".
The settings panel looks like this: yellow - 19, blue - 100%, purple - 4%, black is not used and exhibited - 0. 
As a result, it turned out:

Today we will create a collage in Photoshop, a very interesting way to create collages.
Today we will learn to impose and docile photos. The result is very interesting! Material:
Let's start: 1. Open the image with a waterfall:
And with the MOVE tool (Move) drag the image with the lock on the waterfall
2. Next, I will change the height of the canvas of the image-canvas size up to 5000 pixels. Using the Crop tool (collapse), select our image area and go Image-CROP (image-crop) to trim unnecessary.
3. Select a layer with a lock and reflect its horizontally Edit-Transform-Flip Horizontal:
4. Reduce the size of the Edit-Transform lock (edit-transform):
5. We take the swamp with soft edges and erased on the layer of this area. Upon again using the Crop tool, we remove excess on the left side, cutting out our image:
we get ...
6. Using the RECTANGULAR MARQUEE tool, we highlight a rectangular area on a layer with a waterfall:
And duplicate the layer, after which we transform the selection, we have it in the desired part. We take the kneon with soft edges and erased superfluous:
7. Open the image with the sky and with the MOVE tool drag the image to our picture. The layer with the sky should be on top of all layers. We transform photos with the sky, reflect horizontally and set the layer settings as indicated below:
8. Shift the sky is a bit down so that the dark part is visible more and the cooler with the soft edges will pass by the horizon:
9. Next, we go to the image settings and reduce the saturation of the Image-Adjustments-Hue / Saturation, move the Saturation slider to the left. And so with all the layers. 10. Next, we go to the Layer-New Fill Layer-Solid Color or Gradient menu and poured either a gradient or clean color, if desired. Layer mixing settings install Soft Light (soft light) OPACITY 40%.
In this lesson you will learn how to create a winter collage using Photoshop action. The lesson "Zima approach" in Photoshop was inspired by the famous television series. We will create a medieval scene with the knight and the castle in the background. To create a winter landscape, we will add the effects of falling snow, fog and, of course, change the color tone to change the time of the year.
Final image:
Note: The author used paid materials. In the archive you will find an alternative image option for the lesson. Instead of a paid action (transformation of summer in the winter) you can use the lesson.
Step 1
In this lesson you will learn how to create a winter collage with realistic snow and snowfall effect. At this lesson, I was inspired by the popular fantasy series "Game of Thrones". You can apply the winter effect to any other photo with the same results.
Let's start with an image of a beautiful medieval castle on the lake. Name this layer Castle on background.
Duplicate a layer Castle on background And name it Lock. Change the size up to 75%, as shown in the image below.
Step 2.
Add a layer mask to a layer Lock.
With a soft round Brush. Tool. (Brush) Black Make a seamless transition between two layers. You must paint the lake and the surroundings of the castle. Play with different levels of opacity, as well as change the size of the brush to get good results. The layer mask is a non-destructive way to hide the image area. With the help of black, you hide, and with the help of white, you show certain areas.
To expand the bottom area of \u200b\u200bthe image, you can take advantage Clone Stamp Tool. (Stamp) or you can use Edit. > FILL (Edit\u003e Run fill), Content-Aware. (Taking into account the contents) - a new feature of CS5.
Step 3.
In this step I will add a correction layer Gradient map (Gradient map) to change the color shades of the castle. For gradient Take two colors # 65282F / # FEF9E8, also set the overlay mode Color (Chromaticity) with Opacity (Opacity) 27%.
Duplicate a layer Gradient map (Gradient map). Install overlay mode Overlay (Overlapping) with Opacity (Opacity) 100% to get a similar result.
Step 4.
And now add the medieval knight on the new layer. Add a mask to this layer.
Use again Brush Tool. (Brush) of black with different levels of opacity to hide some areas, as shown in the preview window. Around the knight, use a rigid round brush to make accurate selection. Around other areas, use a soft round brush to create a smooth effect.
Step 5.
Add Gradient map (Gradient map) with the same colors that were used for the castle. Install the overlay mode on Color (Chromaticity) with Opacity (Opacity) 40%, specify this layer as a clipping mask.
Add a layer Brightness / Contrast. (Brightness / contrast) as a clipping mask for a layer with a medieval knight.
Add a corrective layer Gradient map (Gradient map) above all layers with the following colors: # 65282F / # FEF9E8 and set the overlay mode on Color (Chromaticity) with Opacity (Opacity) 27%.
Step 6.
Create a new layer on top of all other layers, name it Medieval knight And press the SHIFT + CTRL + ALT + E key combination to make a combined copy of all layers. Duplicate this layer in a new PSD file.
For quick and realistic winter conversion you will need actionWinter approaching (fee). Download the action and download PAT and ATN files. Go to the menu Window\u003eActions (Window\u003e operations) to open the tab Actions (Operations). Select the action "Winter EFF by PSDDEDE" and click Play. (Playback).
Note: Instead of a paid action, you can take advantage of the lesson by turning the summer in the winter in Photoshop.
Action will stop to set the threshold value. Levels. (Levels). Install it in position 230; The idea is to get a few white details, but not too much. Click OK to continue.
The action will stop for you so that you paint the areas you want to show, and then continued to play. Via Brush Tool. (Brush) White Fold the knight. You will be able to adjust the effect after the action is over, therefore it is not worth paying a lot of attention. Resume playback!
The action will stop for you so that you paint the areas you want to make more colorful and resumed playback. Take Brush Tool. (Brush), this time in black and squeeze the same knight area. You can adjust the effect after the action is over, so again do not pay much attention. Resume playback!
Action will stop here on this layer style Pattern Overlay. (Pattern Overlay). To move the template, hold the mouse and across it on the screen to change the effect of fog.
After the action is completed, you all layers will be untouched, so you can adjust the result. To correct the knight, you must walk inside the mask with a white color to show the desired areas, and black to hide the necessary areas. Click on the miniature of the layer masks and just shine the image. To give the knight an original color effect, you must draw inside the layer Hue / Saturation. 1 (Color Tone / Saturation) Black to manifest effect, and white to hide it. Click on the thumbnail of the mask and just crush the image.
Step 7.
If you do not want to use this action, you can try some of these wonderful learning lessons to create the effect of winter and snow in, but it will be a longer process.
Step 8.
To add the effect of sun glare, I used the rays of the light Photoshop. Slightly configuring some adjustments, I got such a result. You can use one of the textures of the flare with the overlay mode. Screen. (Screen) or Lighten. (Lighter).
As the last strokes, I used the filter High Pass (Color Contrast) to increase the sharpness of the image and get an ice clear effect.
Note: You can use this lesson to increase sharpness.
Here is the final result of our collage. Winter approaching in Photoshop. I hope you liked this photoshop lesson!
