Step 7
To remove the sharpness of trees and Fort then select a Main layer by pressing Ctrl + Click and Add Layer Mask to it.
Step 8
After that in Filter -> Blur -> select Gaussian Blur and add Radius: 28.9. To remove unwanted part of fort then use Brush Tool and on a mask just paint on that unnecessary part by using black color as Foreground. So you will get an output like this:
Now we are bringing a moon into a working image. For this purpose, I have selected following moon image.
Step 9
To bringing it, select surrounding moon area by using Ellipse Tool and then drag it into the working image by using Move Tool. Resize it properly to suit to the background. Then apply the mask to it, first by selecting an image.
Step 10
And then to hide surrounding portion of moon, use brush tool and paint only on unwanted portion. So, your image will look like this:
To add birds in a main image then use the following image.
Follow the same process to bringing birds in a working image. Don’t go for selecting complicated bird shape by using any selection tools. It will become a time-consuming process.
Step 11
So to get rid from the complicated selection process, choose birds surrounding portion by using Rectangle Marquee tool and then drag it to an image. Place it properly by resizing it.
Step 12
And to match it with background then you have to use Color Range Tool (as shown in step no. 5, 6). Select unwanted part by using Eyedropper tool and keep Fuzziness: 55. Then delete selected part.
Then you will get output like this:
If you see in an image, then you will find that lake’s bank portion is looking empty. So to fill it, you can add stones on that place.
For this purpose, I have chosen this image:
Step 13
To bring stones cutouts in a working image select it with Polygonal Lasso Tool and drag it. Don’t go for color correction and don’t use Color Range Tool for stones. Keep it as it is. I have selected this part of stones to bring in our output:
So, all the placements have made properly now. Look out the final output of placements in an image below:

I just found this in my email and took a good look at it on the website. Is this “awesome”?
No, it is NOT. Rather, it is error-filled.
1. Lower right-hand corner. That’s the reflection of the light source, PROBABLY the Sun. Oh, but you have another light source in the top-center called the moon.
2. That light reflection off of the water IN NO WAY resembles the dark, forbidding rainy skies above. OOPS!
3. The reflection of the castle off the water is reasonable. But, where is the reflection of the two dark birds well above the castle, which would clearly be in the bright reflected skies above the castle?
There’s a really CRAP sunset picture making the rounds, where the moon has replaced the sun, and it’s been passed around in different hues, and it only has a very serious problem, which is that the clouds are passing behind the moon. In other words, our planet will be destroyed soon because the moon is in our atmosphere.
But a ZILLION LOONS out there say “awesome!” And this is as bad as that.

Nice one

To the people saying this is a bad tutorial, you must be noobs.
I don’t read most of the instructions, I go on by looking at how this is being created and do it my way.
You can do one thing in may forms on photoshop. -
Its very amazing steps to create lake view by using photoshop.I am wondered to see this post.Everyone should read this specially designer to get inspirations.thanks
-
Epic fail?? I don’t think so. Great ideas, apply them to your work however you see fit. I thank the person that took time to lay this out! Time out of their day, without being paid a dime. That’s not a fail at all. Thanks for sharing!
-
Something get wrong at step 7/8 with the gaussian blur, my images whole image is blurred and not only the trees etc.
However it´s a good tut -
kull stuff
-
this is cool…kudos..kudos again
-
can we add rain dropping effect into the lake, i think it will look more realistic can you please tall me how can we add that effect ?
-
This Is A Very Good Tutorial. But The Final Image Doesn’t Look Same As The First One On The Top. I can’t say Much Cause Am also New To This Software. Anyways G8 Job
-
I think this is awesome. Thanks.
-
OMG now this is what I call wicked talent.. I’m just speechless on how you’ve put everything together in such a beautiful harmony. splendid
-
This Fails so bad I am not even kidding ;)
-
if you don’t like this tutorial so what make your own one
we’re humans we make mistakes -
Good job man, we are waiting the best from you.
-
wow, very artistic
-
I like this kind of photo manips….very nice imaging. With more efforts to show the effects of the raindrops on the water surface, this work would be perfect.
-
My “Hue & Sat” levels only go to +180…..perhaps I’m missing something?
-
Do you have “Colorize” selected?
-
-
I like these tutorials, however I often get stuck and there seems to be no recourse to get clarification. For example on steps 5 and 6 I have a bit of a problem duplicating your steps. I follow your steps to the letter but clearly am doing something wrong and not getting the correct result….or anything resembling it. I’m using CS4 extended. Thanks
-
this might be really late but what did you do to get around that step? I’m having issues.
-
-
raaly i like this tutorial
-
It really befuddles me why people post such negative comments. These people that create these tutorials are taking the time out of their lives to assist us novices, not hold us by the hand. I think he did a very good job.
-
Wow, this is such a fail… by the first two commentators! Do you SEE any other reflection than the castle’s? No. You might make the lake darker, but the texture of the sky is not seen, so there is no reflection. And where the moon’s reflection lands wouldn’t be in the view of the lake. Also, can you make something better than this, without tutorials? No, that’s why you’re here. You can always make changes yourself if you don’t like, idiots.
-
you’re an idiot commentator!
-
-
hey, you know what, why don’t you show us your own works and/or tutorials? if you see an high level of fail here, I’m pretty curious to look at your astonishing works
-
it’s EPIC FAIL because the sky and the moon is not reflected in the water! :(
-
hahaha…level of fail is too high…how come raindrops doesnt affect the lake water surface?
-
Because its photoshop not reality!
