Step 11

Open the grass image and drag it intoour main document using the Move Tool.Click the second icon at the bottom of the Layerspanel to add a mask to this layer and use a black brush to remove the sky , leaving the grass visible on the lower part of the ground. Use a very small brush to trim the edge of the grass to make it more natural.

Step 12

Create aColor Balanceadjustment layer (set asClipping Mask) to change the grass’s color.

Step 13

Make a Curves adjustment layer to bring more light to the top left corner of the grassy ground. On this layer mask, paint on the rest of the ground to keep its lightness.
