Step 66

Now you need apply to correctly the shadows. To do this, create a new layer (Cmd/Ctrl+ Shift +N) the menu that appears, set the settings as shown in the figure. Use Dodge Tool (O) to draw bright light parts and use Burn Tool (O) to draw the dark areas and shadows.

Step 67

Try to maximize image contrast is achieved. Set the settings for both instruments such. Was the main model, because the atmosphere is ready.

Step 69

Now route the light and shade for ships. Be sure to create a new layer position it as shown in the figure. To make it easier to work, hide all the layers by clicking on the competition in the eyes of the Layers panel, except for the group with the ships and facilities.

Step 72

Step 74

Note that this adjustment layer as a vignette effect on the whole picture! Here is the result after adding the adjustment layer.

Step 75

It seems to me that the work is missing something – something resembling the nanostructure :). So I decided to add a whimsical and fantastic texture. Let’s get started! Go to File > Place… and select file with texture crystal lattice.

Step 76

Now pull them almost the entire area of the picture. Move it slightly to the right.

Step 77

Duplicate the texture layer (the short key Cmd/Ctrl+ J). Now you need to rotate it on an angle 180. Go to Edit > Transform > Rotate 180.

Step 78

Move this layer to upper left corner as shown in Figure.

Step 79

Add to top layer with texture layer mask and remove the middle. Change the opacity to 50% of each layer.

Step 80

image103

Now combine these two layers (the short key Cmd/Ctrl+ E), and add layer mask to this layer. Set Brush Tool (B) with settings: Size: 100px. Hardness: 0% Opacity: 100% flow: 100% and remove center.

      I added an alternative that you can use. It’s a different pose but should still work.

    Всем привет! Все комменты не читал, может кто-то уже написал. Урок отличный! Только один недочёт, заметил всё-таки. Винты надо было по гаусу размыть. Я размыл их. А то, получается, верталёт летит а винты не крутятся, стоят. Спасибо за урок!!! Урок классный! :)

      Спасибо большое! Я очень ценю это! Я старалась. Нет, вы первый :) С точки зрения реалистичности то все верно. Я не стала этого делать потому что много разных эффектов и винты почти не видно. Я очень рада, что вы сделали такое открытие! Значит мои старания были не напрасны! Будут вопросы, обращайтесь :) и спасибо большое еще раз!

    I am currently working on this and I wanted to figure out in step 34 where you add a white to transparent gradient you show to select a gradient from black to white so I wanted to find out if this was a image error or ?

      Hi! No there is not a black to white and white to transparent. Black can not be there. Look near numeral. This is my shortcoming in imposing numbers. Sorry. Thank you for your comment.
