Step 38
Get the feather stock photo from here. Open the feather photo and then go to Select> Color Range menu. This way we can select the feather by taking its color sample. Click the brightest white color of the feather with the eyedropper, then maximize the Fuzziness value to 200.
Step 39
You should get the whole feather shape by now. Click OK to apply Color Range command, there you go! the selection was done.
Step 40
Insert the feather above the bird layer. Use the transform command to rotate, adjust its size and position as shown in the example below.
Step 41
To make the feather blend with the background, change the blend mode to Screen.
Step 42
To get the “depth of field” illusion, we need to use Filter> Blur> Gaussian Blur menu. Adjust the Radius value around 1,5 px then click OK.
Step 43
Next, we add another feather with the same technique as the previous one. Place it on top left corner, and apply the Gaussian blur filter again, but this time use Radius 1px.
Step 44
Add the third feather on the right side of the red circle, above the bird. Use radius value 0,5 for the Gaussian blur filter.
Step 45
Make sure you already got the lens flare pack from here. Go to File> Place and select the lens flare image you like to insert, mine is “optical-7”. Hit Enter to apply the image as a smart object. Oh, and don’t forget to place it above all layers.
Step 46
Using Polygonal lasso tool, create a selection like shown in the example below.
Step 47
Click the add layer mask button to convert the selection into layer mask.
Step 48
The most important things, change the blend mode to Screen to hide those black color. Now you can easily transform the lens flare as you wish.
Step 49
Duplicate the lens flare, place it between the bird and dancer as shown in the example below. Congratulations! you’ve done creating the poster :)
