Step 2 – Create the glass and the room

In this Step, we will be making the room with the glass; we will also be using a Gradient to enhance the feel of the room. Open the stock image – Glass 001 and left-click on it and then drag the glass to the new canvas using the Move tool (V). When you’ve done that, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) because we would need to reposition the glass for composition purposes.

Now you might be wondering what happens to the extra space, well we would still make use of that extra space. In order for that to happen we would need to stretch some parts of the background. Activate the Rectangular Marquee tool (M); this tool’s purpose is for creating a selection area or merely selecting an area on the image; to use it, just left-click on a point and drag the mouse to form a rectangle selection area.
