How to Create a Disturbing Scene of a Flooded Room with a Giant Hand Carrying a Fish

Set the following for this texture:

• Blending mode: Multiply
• Opacity: 40%
• Fill: 60%

The result:

Click on the “Metal texture 15” layer and duplicate it (Ctrl/Cmd + J). Once duplicated, change the Blending mode and Opacity to the following:

• Blending mode: Soft light
• Opacity: 100%

Now, the result should be similar to this:

Group these layers (Ctrl/Cmd + G) and rename this group to “Textures”.

Step 8: Enhance the Image’s Color

In this step, we will be retouching our image to give it a much more grunge feel. Let’s start by creating a Solid Color adjustment layer which can be found by pressing on the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button shown on the layer window:

When the Solid Color box opens, input the following:

• #: 000011

Then change the Blending mode and Opacity of this layer to the following:

• Blending mode: Exclusion
• Opacity: 50%

Next, create another Solid Color adjustment layer through the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button. Once the Solid Color box is open, input the following:

• #: 7a461f

Next, change the following:

• Blending mode: Soft Light
• Opacity: 40%

Next, let’s create a Gradient Map adjustment layer from the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button.

When the Gradient Map box is open, do the following:

Now after hitting OK, you’d notice that your image is now a Black and White image but we don’t want that, so what you should do is change the Opacity to the following:

• Opacity: 25%

The result:

Next, let’s enhance the color; activate the Create New Fill/Adjustment layer button and then choose: Color Balance.

Once open, input the following:

• Color Levels: -15, 0, -9
• Tone Balance: Midtones
• Preserve Luminosity: Checked

Finally, let’s add a Channel Mixer adjustment layer through the Create New Fill/Adjustment Layer button.

Once open, input the following:

• Output Channel: Gray
• Source Channels:
• Red: +100%
• Green: 0%
• Blue: 0%
• Constant: 0%
• Monochrome: Check

Next, change the Blending mode and Opacity of the Channel Mixer adjustment layer to the following:

• Blending mode: Multiply
• Opacity: 40%

The result of that should be like this:
