Isolate the castle 1 image and place it above the top of the rock. Add a mask to this layer and use soft black brush to blend the bottom of the castle with the rock.
Step 20
Make a Hue/Saturationadjustment layer to change the castle’s color by adjusting the Mastersettings:
Step 21
Create a Color Balanceadjustment layer and alter the MidtonesandHighlightsvalues:
Step 22
Use a Curvesadjustment layer to darken the castle to match its lightness with the background.
Step 23
Open the castle 2 image and take the top of the castle to add to the rock below the water. Use Ctrl+T to scale it down to be much smaller and duplicate it. Place them on top of the part on the left (from the viewer) and the middle of the bigger part one. Add a mask to each of these layers to blend the bottom of the towers with the existing rock.
Step 24
Add a Color Filllayer above the each of these tower layers (set as Clipping Mask) and pick the color #033962. Lower the opacity of these layers to 30%and 40%to blend the tower with the water.
Step 25
Make a group for these tower layers and change the group’s mode to Normal 100%. Add a Curvesadjustment layer within this group to darken the towers and use its layer mask to reduce the dark effect on some details to match their lightness with the background.
Step 26
Open the castle 3 image and take the towers on the top to add them to the different positions on the rock below the water. Mask off them to blend them with the existing ground.
Step 27
On the layer of the castle on the right, make a new layer, change the mode to Overlay 100%and fill with 50%gray. Activate the Dodge Toolwith Midtones Range, Exposure about 15%to brighten the left of the castle to fit the light from above.
Step 28
On each of these castle layers, make a Color Fill layer and pick the color #033962. Lower the opacity of the castle layer on the right to40%and the rest to 30%.

Downloading the required materials is way too difficult. Sign up for this, sign up for that, etc., etc. I wanted to give the technique a try, but not at the expense of that much of my time.

Simple solution to this is to pay for stock photos. My opinion is that it’s not worth using free resources unless it is for practice because when you make a final piece, you can rest assured that everything is rightfully licensed.
