step47a

Next, go to the model folder and mask the hue/saturation layer on the areas around the head, right shoulder, and cloth of the model. By masking those parts, we have added some highlights for the model image. Don’t forget to give this model some shadow as well.

step47b
step47c

After that, create a new layer filled with 50% gray set to overlay 100% above the BG folder. Take a very soft round brush and, on this layer, paint some highlight by stroking the brush with white color to certain areas on the scene as indicated by the red arrows:

step47d

Proceed to give some highlight to areas around the middle rock. Go to the middle rock folder. Create a new layer with a clipping mask above the photo filter layer within the folder. I name this new layer highlight. On this layer, paint soft white color to certain areas as indicated by the red arrows:

step47e

Finally, do the same to the left rock and tree folder to give them some highlight.

step47f

Step 48

Now we will create a bridge on the scene. Create a new layer under the foreground folder. Firstly we will create boards of the bridge with the pen tool. Take the pen tool and create some paths as the ones I created. Right-click the paths to show the path option command box. Choose fill path.

step48a

Fill the path with any color we want. I used the color of #513e22

step48b
step48c

I decided to make the boards narrower a bit. So I masked the selected parts as shown in the screenshot.

step48d
step48e

Duplicate the board layer one time. Move the duplicate upward a bit.

step48f

Now select the original layer again and give it a hue/saturation layer with a clipping mask. Set this layer to normal. NOTE: this value of the hue/saturation given is the one for the board filled with the color of #513e22. So we can set different values if we use a different color.

step48g

Then, go select the duplicate layer again and give it a layer style: drop shadow.

step48h
step48i

Step 49

In this step we will add some texture for the board. We will simply create the texture with a fiber filter. Firstly create a new layer above the duplicated board layer. Fill this layer with any color. Next, set the color of the foreground and background like the one shown in the screenshot. Then, go to filter > render > fibers.

    Very awesome tut here. Sometimes I wanna make my images a little more “fantasy”, but I always feel like I lack the creativity.

      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.

      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.
