Step 2
Add the cathedral image into the document by hold-clicking and dragging the image from the folder in our PC where we have saved it to the open document in photoshop.

Change this cathedral layer to overlay blending mode. Scale its size to the size needed and move it to the position where the ceiling is on the light rays.

Finally, set the opacity of this layer to about 20%.

We need to hide some parts of the cathedral image. We will give this layer a layer mask. Go to layer > layer mask > reveal all to give it a layer mask. Take brush tool (B) and choose a very soft round brush (0% hardness) set to about 15-20% opacity. With black color, stroke the brush on areas around the window, lower parts and left side of the building, and the ceiling a bit as well to mask them. The red highlighted parts are areas covered with a mask.

really good one. i've learnt a lot from this tutorial-
you are the best. thanks a lot
Can not see the tutorial. how do I see it?
The detail with the hair is something I would not have even messed with. Thank you for the tips on that!
The first time I ever heard of Photoshop actions I never thought I would use them. Now, I cannot get through a project without using at least one.
The best tutorial I've found! You didn't leave out any steps. Everything was thorough both in explanation and in photos. If only I could get the hair paths to look more natural... :X
Nice tutorial, but a lot of unnecessary steps. The pic from the original girl that we cropped to the girl we added 20 different steps to enhance her has very little difference.
This would be a really cool album cover or the cover of a fantasy styled book. Great tutorial!
super awesome!!
I love your work, I'm new at this, your tutorial is very clear, I followed your guide and I made it,I hope you can make more tutorial like this, thank you very much.
