Open file Dead Tree 3. Copy and paste into our scene. Put it in the left side of our scene. Add a layer mask and with a round brush at 10% opacity paint with black in the layer mask over the tree to make it blend with the environment. I hope you haven’t forgot to convert the tree (and all other objects you pasted since into the scene) to a smart object, like I advised you in step 3!

    I must say you suck. I’m sorry but after downloading all the files you start with: “Create a new document 2000×1565. Open the file sky and copy all by pressing Ctrl + A. Copy with Ctrl + C, go back to our document and paste with Ctrl + V. Place the sky as shown below” Wtf does that even mean? I was ready to follow and try it but yeah… There is one file and you talk about copy all. Copy all with control A, Copy all with Control C? lol..

    I would not use that house stock photo, nor any image from moonglowlily as she notoriously takes images from Google and calls them stock. She does not have permission to post those photos and by using them you are committing copyright infringement.
