I placed the middle rock right in lower center position.
Step 13
Now we will add background for the scene. Open the stock image in the main document. Make sure the image layer is beneath the middle rock layer. When it is already in the document, activate the free transform tool. We will scale the image up. While pressing the Shift key on the keyboard, click, hold and drag the lower right transforming tool to scale the size up.
We just need the cloud of the image, so after scaling the size, move the image where needed to get the best part of the cloud to be used as the background of the scene. I had the one as shown in the screenshot for my own background.
Step 14
Next, we will give the background some blur filter. I gave it surface blur. To achieve this filter, go to filter > blur > surface blur.
Here is the value of the blur given:
And here is the result. This blur give a smooth effect on the cloud which is supposed to be misty coverage for the scene.
Step 15
Duplicate the background layer. Set the duplicate to multiply blending mode. We can change the blending mode by clicking the blending mode option located in the layer panel.
Set the opacity of the duplicate to 100%.
Step 57
This is the result should be:
Step 16
Make sure we are still active on the duplicate layer, now go to layer > new adjustment layers > hue/saturation. This will create a hue/saturation layer above the duplicate layer. Make sure not to give this hue/saturation a clipping mask. Here is the value of the hue/saturation
Here is the result.
Duplicate the hue/saturation layer and set the duplicate to multiply at 100% opacity. Select all the background layers and hit Ctrl+G to group them in one folder. I named this folder BG.
Step 17
Now select the middle rock layer and give it a layer mask. Mask areas on the bottom of the rock to make it look like being covered in the mist.
Step 18
Next, give this rock layer a hue/saturation layer with a clipping mask. Set the value of the hue/saturation as the one below:
Set the hue/saturation layer to soft light blending at 100% opacity. Here is the result.

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.
