Step 41
In this step, we will add a model to the scene. Open the model image. Cut out the model.
Copy-paste the model to the main scene. Scale its size and place it on the foreground rock.
Step 42
Set the color to the model image by giving it hue/saturation with a clipping mask. Set this layer to normal at 100% opacity.
Step 43
I decided to add a waterfall to the left rock. Open the water image in the main document. Scale its size and place it in front of the left rock.
Mask the waterfall layer.
Step 44
Give this waterfall layer adjustment layers: hue/saturation and photo filter with clipping masks.
Duplicate the hue/saturation layer one time. Set the original layer to soft light at 70% and the duplicate to normal at 100%. Finally, set the photo filter layer to normal at 100% opacity.
Step 45
Now we will set a new adjustment layer: Curves above all layers or folders we have created.
Mask the curves layer
Step 46
Next, we will add a moon to the scene to complete the composition. Open the moon image and cut it out.
Add the moon to the main scene. Scale its size and place it near the right rock. Make sure to position this moon layer above all the other layers or folders. Create a new layer without a clipping mask above the moon layer. I named this new layer light. On this new layer, I called light, we will paint some light for the moon. To do this purpose, take a very soft round brush and set its size to the same size as the moon. With white color click the brush right on the moon. It should look like the image below:
Duplicate the light layer one time. Set the original layer to soft light blending at 100% opacity and the duplicate to overlay at 100%. We should have the result like the one in the screenshot.
Step 47
Following the moon as the light source of the scene, we should do some overall adjustments to some parts and objects of the scene. Start by adjusting the BG. Go again then to the BG folder and open it. Select the topmost hue/saturation layer in the folder. Activate the mask thumbnail and mask the hue/saturation layer on the areas around the foreground rock and right waterfall.

I like your tutorial a lot!
But, sorry if it sounds dumb, how do i copy-paste the cut out into the main document (step 3)? It doesn´t work with ctrl+c/ctrl+v…
-
firstly select the cut out (hold-press Ctrl and click the thumbnail of the cut out layer. when it is selected, hit Ctrl+C and then be active on the main document, paste (ctrl+v) the layer on it.

how do you get of masking??????????

If you see red than press Q to get out of quick mask. If you dont see red, just click on the left thumbnail of your layer… the left one not the right thumbnail.
