Step 1
Start by creating! Create a new document. Go to File > New or the short key Ctrl+ N. A blank document with size of 2000 pixels wide and 3000 pixels high. I named the document “Alice”.

Step 2
Let’s start off adding the sky to our manipulation. Go to File > Place and select the image of the sky.

Step 3
After addition of the sky, then stretch, as shown in Figure. To transform the sky, press Ctrl+ T or go to Edit > Transform > Scale. Pull the black cubes in the corners formed frame.

Step 4
To the sky was brighter and stood out edges of the clouds, I added an adjustment layer to the sky. Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness / Contrast or button in the Layers palette and set the settings: Brightness 13, Contrast 13.



Step 5

Then add another layer > New Adjustment Layer > Photo Filter. These layers make a sunset sky.

Set the settings: Filter – Warming Filter (85), Density: 17.
Step 6
Then add another layer> New Adjustment Layer > Hue/ Saturation.
This layer will make the color more vivid sunset.


Set the settings: Saturation: +13, Lightness: +1 Now the sky is brighter with a strong color that gives unusual picture
At this stage, work with the background sky will be over.
Step 7
I did not like the sky of the source file, so I decided to replace it with a more beautiful and bright.

How do you get the clouds above the cards please?
-
To make it you need add a Layer Mask ( Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal All or use button on Layer panel) to cards layer and use Brush tool (B) (I use soft round brush ) remove necessary pieces of cards in accordance with the relief of the clouds. That’s all.

Oh! I am very glad that you came in handy and helped my lesson to refresh your knowledge and skills. It’s okay that you did this painting for 2 days. It’s so much that immediately and not make out :) I watched your work and I liked it! The only thing that can remove a little shadow on the model in the area of contact between the legs and maps. Make a little not brighter. In general, I liked it! Thank you very much for your beautiful work, patience and good comment. I am very pleased! Once again thank you very much!

NVM! i figured it out! I hadn’t downloaded the High-Rez version of the resources
-
I’m glad you’re paying attention to quality. Try in the future to download all the resources in good quality. Remember, in the transformation of Object in Photoshop, the picture may be of poor quality, if it is to stretch very much. Good luck in the works!

Hello! I just have a question :)
When I stretch the initial Sky/cloud resource it becomes extremely pixelated is this normal? Its really blocky so I’m not sure if im doing something wrong or not haha
Any advice would be great! Thanks :)-
Hi! It is normal to become pixel photo and loses its quality. You add the image as a smart object so the quality after transforming back. I hope you could do it! Good luck to you! Have questions, please write. I’m happy to answer them!
