step 27c

Step 28

We’re almost done! Its time for some color tuning! Apply these chain of adjustment layers for the whole image.

step 28
step 28a
step 28b

Step 29

I use Color Lookup with “filmstock_50.3dl” to drastically shapern up the image. Color Lookup provides variety of color tuning effects to use in many situations. Reduce the Opacity to 60% and also apply some Layer Mask.

step 29
step 29a

Step 30

Continue tuning the color with Selective Color. Drop the Opacity down to 80%.

step 30a
step 30b
step 30c
step 30d
step 30e

Step 31 – Where is the bats ?

Oops we almost forget about our bats! Open the Bat Brush and paint some bat like this.

step 31a

Apply a little change on Blending Option.

step 31b

And the bats are in the party!

step 31c

Step 32

Apply one last adjustment layer for our image : Brightness/Contrast

step 32

Layer Mask on the Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer.

step 32a
step 32b

Step 33

Just a little change and we will finish this piece. I recommend you save your working file now then merge everything into one image. You can do so by right click on any layer and choose Flatten Image.

After that, duplicate the image and apply some Gaussian Blur.

step 33

Layer Mask

step 33a

Step 34

Now hit Ctrl + Shift + R to open up the Lens Correction panel, adjust the Vignette a little bit.

step 34

Final Results

    There are about 3 links that don’t seem to work for me. I can’t seem to know why for example the house. Even the link that Henk posted doesn’t work for me. Very confused and worried as I have to finish a project.

    Great tutorial!! However I need some help on Step 18. I am not familiar with using the Perspective tool and I can’t get it to conform to the landscape. Can you give us some tips on how to do this?

    Thank You

      Hi Jules,

      After you’ve finished drawing with pen, just right click on the draw path and choose Fill Path, you should be able to fill with drawing path with the color in the tutorial provided.

      Also, the red color in the layer mask is just a sample for better visual view, its actually the black color you use when masking.

      Let me know if there’s anything more you want to know, contact me via my email : [email protected].

      Best,

      Antaka
