Step 47
Press Ok. Now we have all the white are is selected, press Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection.

Step 48
We will fine tune the selection using the Refine Edge command. It is located under Select > Refine Edge (Ctrl + Alt + R). Refine Edges is a great feature to work with selections. We can modify the selections in many different ways. We can contract or expand, apply feather and smooth the selection and so on. Adjust the sliders to fine tune the selection. When it’s good press OK.

Step 49
Press Ctrl + J to separate the bird into a new layer. Now we can drag this into the main composition! But first convert it into a Smart Object.

Finally bring it into the composition. Adjust the rotation and size. Place it above all other layers.

Step 50
Adjust the brightness of the bird by applying a Curves adjustment layer.

Step 51
Open up the splatter from the pack you downloaded (drips and spray paint, 1.png). Place it below the shape layers. Then scale it down.

Step 52
Here we have some unwanted data. Block them using a Layer Mask.

Step 53
Add a sphere from the patterned spheres pack.

Step 54
Create the shapes using the Rectangle Tool.

Step 55
Open up the brush stroke image (Design Resources Pack, 028.png). Convert the image mode from Index to RGB (Image > Mode > RGB). Now drag it into the composition. Flip the brush stroke vertically and then horizontally.

Step 56
Apply Color Overlay using the Layer Style dialog box. There are different ways to achieve the same result. You can use the Hue/Saturation command to take off the lighting from the image. Or lock down the transparent pixels of the layer and fill the layer with a color. It’s really a matter of choice at a given time. You can see me using some of those methods in this tutorial.

Step 57
Open up the feather stock image. Select the white background using the Color Range command.

Step 58
Below is the job color range command did for us. Not perfect but we can use it. Invert the selection and press Ctrl + J to separate the feather.

Step 59
Now take off the lightness from it by using the Hue/Saturation command. Set the lightness value to -100 and it will creates the silhouette of our feather.
