Step 21
Make the use of hue & Saturation tool. And fill this value in that tool to the duplicate layer of a moon only.
After doing enough color correction then our working image will look like this:
Now we are moving in detail to the Color Correction process. So first I am choosing birds, I want to match it with background color because recently we have made many changes to the background.
Step 22
So to blend bird’s color with the background then in Image menu -> Adjustments -> select Match Color. “Match Color” is a tool in which you have to give the reference layer of which color value you have to apply to selected objects.
For this purpose, I have given reference of a Moon layer; Source is working image and in Image Options, I have added following values. Now this tool will collect color information of a moon layer and will apply it to the bird color.
Let’s do now some little but necessary changes to the image.
It’s important to pick color of a background by border of objects. Otherwise it will look unnatural. If you see borders of fort and trees, then you will find some kind of white tone on it.
So to match that borders then we will follow one method.
Step 23
First, select that main layer then inverse the selection by pressing Shift + Ctrl + I (or in Select menu -> select Inverse) and after that moves the selection one pixels inside, first by pressing Down Arrow key (twice)and Right Arrow key twice).
Step 24
Then make the use of Dodge Tool, select Range: Highlights and Exposure: 92%. And just apply it (2-3 times) only on a border of fort those belong to sky image. Then output you will get (Don’t forget to keep the three- color tone layer above the main working layer):
Step 25
Follow the same procedure for defective part of trees (Step no. 23, 24).
Step 26
To make the lake view more beautiful then uses Curves tool and add these values to it.
Now see the output:
Modifying Fort small light:
See the small light of a fort in this image.
Step 27
Now we will convert that fort light into original looking light. To do it, first by using Rectangular Marquee Tool select that fort light and add following color to that portion as shown 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.

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
-

-
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!
