Step 9

Open the Forest stock and place it under the Model at the right top of the canvas. (I stretched it a bit).

Step 10

Let’s continue to build the scene.Open the Waterfall stock and place it like I did in the image below.It goes above the Forest Stock.

Step 11

Now we have to mask the waterfall.Add a Clipping Mask to the waterfall layer and with black paint over the unwanted part.TIP: Paint with 100% Opacity the edges of the image and reduce the opacity where you want to blend it with the Forest stock.Below you can see my Clipping Mask and the result.

Step 12

Now that we have blended the image we have to fix its lights/shadows and colors because it’s too greenish and bright.To fix the Lights and Shadows add a Hue/Saturation adjustment (only for the Waterfall stock) and put these settings:
  • Master 0 0 -44
  • Yellows 0 14 -26
  • Cyans 0 -35 -100
To fix the colors add a Color Balance adjustment (only for the Waterfall) with these settings:
  • Shadows 6 -1 -10
  • Midtones 2 -10 -8
  • Highlights 0 -7 -12

12a

Step 13

Open the Autumn Forest stock to complete the scene. Place it above the Waterfall stock and its adjustments.

Step 14

Also this stock has to be blended with the rest. Like we did before we will add a Clipping Mask to it and paint with black the unwanted parts. Below you can see my Mask and my result.

Step 15

Once again we have to fix the colors and the lights. Add a Hue/saturation adjustment only for this layer putting these settings:
  • Master 0 0 2
  • Reds 0 -31 17
  • Yellows 0 -19 -8
  • Greens 0 -12 -58
For the colors add a Color Balance adjustment only for this layer with these settings:
  • Shadows 7 4 1
  • Midtones -4 0 -5
  • Highlights 0 3 -5
15
15a

Step 16

Now our scene is complete but the model doesn’t fit it. Let’s blend her! Add a Hue/Saturation adjustment only for the Model layer with these settings:
  • Master 0 -26 -17
  • Green 0 -40 -40
For the colors add a Color Balance adjustment only for the model layer. Settings:
  • Shadows 12 0 -10
  • Midtones 20 0 -16
  • Highlights 9 0 -20
16
16a

Step 17

Now everything is fixed! Let’s give the scene more intensity. Add a Gradient Map above every layer. Set it to Soft Light with Opacity and Fill at 80%.
17
17a

Step 18

The light source is strong but the light around is not. That’s why we have to add a bit of luminosity. Create a new layer above all layers and set it to Hard Light. With color #d0a945 paint some light. I used a soft round brush. Below you can see where I painted. (The black background is only on the purpose to show you!).

    for that “copyright infringement” removal of logo I will not try this exercise as I refuse to use a photograph that is not in the public domain.
    Even when it is for “educational” reasons…

    Wow! :(

    I normally love your tutorials and you do great work teaching and inspiring.
    But just removing a photographers logo??? You do know it is his or her property right? You can’t just “steal” it and remove the logo???! It’s there for a reason.
    You as an artistic company should know that and be on the side of the artists and not the big company’s who think they can just use everything they can possibly Google.

    I’m very very disappointed…

    You didn’t mention whether or not you have permission to remove the photographer’s tag. Apparently you don’t think it is necessary to provide that information. It is strangely important to me.
