How to Create Dramatic Light in Your Fantasy Photo Manipulation

 Change Blending Mode of both layers from Normal to Screen to blend it better with the rest of the image. Lower the Opacity of the texture on the left on 40% and Opacity of the texture on the right on 20%.To blend them even better with the rest of the photo manipulation add layer mask to both of them. Grab the Brush Tool (B), pick black color and set the Opacity on 40%. Paint over the woman and her dress to hide the texture there. Paint also over the edges of the texture to create smooth transitions.

Step 22 – Final Darkening and Lightening

In this step you’ll use one texture to both darken and lighten your image. Download the Light Texture listed in the beginning of the tutorial and drag it into your photo manipulation. Place it on the top of all layers and name it DARKENING. Change its Blending Mode from Normal to Subtract and lower its Opacity on 15%.Right click on the layer and choose the option Duplicate layer. Place this new layer on the top of all layers and name it LIGHTEN. Change its Blending Mode from Subtract to Lighten. Set its Opacity on 5%.
