Tutorial Resources

Step 1

Before you start, download all the material in one place. So it will be easier to work with them. Open Photoshop and start by creating! Create a new document. Go to File > New or the short key Cmd /Ctrl+ N. A blank document with a size of 3000 pixels wide and 2000 pixels high. I named the document “Scandinavians”.

Step 2

Now I have added a picture of the landscape. Go to File > Place and select the image of the landscape.

This picture is the foundation and it makes sense to frame for the proper construction of the composition. So it will be easier to work on photo manipulation. At the end of the work, we will remove it.

Step 3

After addition of the landscape, then stretch, as shown in Figure. When you put the picture it automatically in the transformation. But if not, transform the landscape, press the short key Cmd /Ctrl+ T or go to Edit > Transform > Scale. Pull the black cubes in the corners formed frame.

Resize the picture so that it will cover the whole workspace and go beyond the edges of the document. Do not worry about losing quality. The picture has the function of the skeleton and the quality is not particularly necessary.
