After that change the size of the image.
Step 12 – layer opacity
Change the castle layer to 25% of opacity and hide some other parts
Step 13 – Tower
Repeat the process you made before with the tower. The opacity of the layer is 30%
Step 14 – Mountains
To add some more mountains to the image place a new layer.
Step 15 – Layer mask
You only need the big mountain, so select it with layer mask like before.
Step 16 – Size
Press Ctrl+T to change the size of the mountain to fit the image. Also you can use the black brush to fix some details
Do the same with the other mountain, but this time reduce the opacity of the layer to 80%
Step 17 – place Sky

Step 18 – Hard light
Use the layer in hard light mode, reduce the opacity to 75%. Also add a layer mask to the image and hide some parts.
Step 19 – orange
To give more intensity to the sunset paint with a soft round orange brush in the sky. Use the layer in soft light mode. You can set the opacity to the pressure of your tablet, or if you don’t have a tablet the opacity can be 30%.

Step 21 – Hair
Select only the hair and press Ctrl + J to duplicate the layer.

Step 23 – The Hair
To paint the hair you will need a tablet to get better results, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t do it with you mouse. To star pick the same color of the hair with the eyedropper tool, after that paint some hairs not too big not too small. Use a soft round brush 2px.
Paint some more strands
Step 24 – White Strokes
Make some white strokes to give highlights to the hair.
Add some with a lighter tone of brown

I did in the past some of your tutorials here: http://annewipf.deviantart.com/gallery/46678452/Done-from-tutorials
But we can’t see the tutorials on photoshop-tutorials anymore. :(
I tried to contact them, but it doesn’t operate. :(
Please, do you know if we have to pay something, of everything else we can do? I loved to do the tutorials I found here and I often give the link to photoshop-tutorials to beginners, so it is quite ennoying. Thank you. -

Thanks so much for a great tutorial. There were some aspects I had to guess, and I believe one of the mountain images had to be flipped before it could be used, but for a newbie in photo-manipulation, this was fantastic.

What am I doing wrong?! I am doing everything step by step but when I add the 2nd picture and try to meld it into to the background it doesn’t work. It still looks like I would’ve glued another photo on top of the other one even though I’ve done everything on the tutorial. Yep they share the same color however the 2nd pictures outlines are still visible (the square lines) I am terrible with explaining :D
-
Amazing… thank you.
-
Hey, awesome tutorial!!
I’m not that good with photoshop, I only got it for two months :)
But this is still worth a try, will be fun I guess :)
XOXO -
Very awesome tutorial. This is just amazing, way beyond my skill level, but it has certainly opened up my eyes to what can be done with Photoshop. Thanks,
-

Hi,
I want to get reflection of images anglewise (from different point of source of light). -
there are repeated photos in the tutorial… :( find some of the steps interesting but wrong photo makes the tutorial somewhat bad… :( although the concept is awesome… but the flow is altered… i rate it 3.5 out of 5… but the steps deserve 5 out of 5… :)
-
Where to get the picture in step 4 river? I’ve been looking at the user Faestock and can not find or rather, does not exist.
Thank you very much.
