Step 19
Now there’s only one thing to add, the air balloons. So go ahead and place it on the canvas and get rid of the sky with any of the methods we previously explained or your own method.
Step 20
Let’s change a little bit the light on this balloon, add a Curvesadjustment layer.
Step 21
Place the second balloon. Since it has to look that it’s further in the distance make it smaller. We will make aCurvesadjustment layer and we will make it darker than the first one.
Step 22
Repeat the process with two more balloons and this is how it should look like:
Step 23
The last thing we’ll do is add a Gradient Map, the one I used is a Photoshop preset and you should have it. Reduce the Opacity of the layer to 10%.
Step 24
Now we don’t want the Gradient Map to show on the ground and on the man because it makes it too red, so we’re going to add a layer mask and hide it.
Step 25
And we’re done, I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Totally cool. Doesn’t photoshop have the coolest features if you can make an image like this out of basically nothing?

Hehe, it’s split into two pages. You needed to click “2” to get to the second page of the tutorial. Common sense really. It’s a good tutorial.
