Create a Magical and Emotional Forest Scene of a Lost Girl in Photoshop

Step 15

Now, we’ll fix the hair. There are a lot of techniques for fixing the hair around the Internet like painting the hair with Tablet, using the already painted hair, and many more. To be honest, I really don’t know how to paint hair and I don’t have any tablet either. But I have developed a little trick to fix hair and I use this technique almost in my every manipulation. So, let’s fix it. In previous you have seen that I didn’t mask the parts around the hair. Because I am gonna extract it using the Refine Edge Tool. So, Right-click on the model layer and choose Refine Mask. You’ll see a refine mask edge dialog box appeared on your screen as shown in the image below. Choose the refine radius tool as shown in the image below then set the size as you needed. Then simply paint around the model hair as shown in the image below to extract the hair.

Here are the result and pretty much decent results we have got but it is still not looking good and we don’t want that. Don’t worry about that, we’ll fix it in the next couple of steps. Meanwhile, Start blending the model to the scene in the next step.

Step 16

Let’s start blending the model to the scene. So, apply an Exposure and Photo Filter Adjustment layer to the model. Set the values as shown in the image below.

Here are the results.

Step 17

Continue blending the model to the scene using Color Balance Adjustment layer as shown in the image below. Here are the results.

Step 18

I have darkened the model little bit using the Curves Adjustment layer.

Here are the results.

Step 19

Now, we’ll fix the hair properly. Open the hair PSD file in Photoshop and choose the bottom brown hair. Now, place it as shown in the image below.

Add a layer mask to the hair layer and then using a soft round black brush to hide the unwanted shown in the image below.

Step 20

I added a Gaussian blur filter to the hair. To do this, right-click on the hair layer and choose convert to smart object. Then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Set the radius to 0.5 and here are the results.

Step 21

Now add a Brightness/Contrast and Hue/Saturation adjustment layer to the hair. Set the setting as shown in the image below.
