Step 40

Duplicate the first layer (the short key Cmd/Ctrl+ J) of a cliff and move it above all others in this group. Place it so that it became a continuation of the rock

image46

Step 41

I also added a layer mask to it and removed several pieces that did not seem the same type of relief. Layer mask, which I dubbed I removed. Brush settings remain the same (Size: 80px. Hardness: 0% Opacity: 60% flow: 100%).

image47

Step 42

The remaining three layers close gaps and give a smoother appearance rock. Duplicate three more times with the first layer of rock. Move them as shown in the figure.

image48

Step 43

The principle of operation remains the same. I think it will not be difficult.
Eliminate unnecessary parts with a layer mask. If you need to recover, some portion of the image to switch the background color to white and you’ll recover and not clean. Red shows how I placed a piece of landscape.

Step 44

That’s how I got the result.

Step 45

Now proceed to adding ships. Create a new group. Place it under the group by clicking on the icon of the group in the Layers palette, name it “Ships”. Place it under the group “promontory”.

Step 46

Open the image of the ship. Go to File > Open or the short key Cmd /Ctrl+ O

image60

Step 47

Select Quick Selection Tool (W) in toolbar and select the ship. Be careful when you select some items may not be highlight.

Step 48

Select Move Tool (V), grab a selected part of image, and drag it to the tab with our work.

image56

Step 49

Now reduce the ship as shown in Figure. Go to Edit > Transform > Scale. After flip horizontal this fragment. Go to Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal.

image57

Step 50

Duplicate the layer with the ship 6 times (the short key Cmd /Ctrl+ J). Arrange them as shown, or you can come up with your own version.
Change the size of each ship, making each less. Remember, the farther the ship the less its size.

image58

Step 51

Add a layer mask to the group of with ships. Select the Brush Tool (B) on the toolbar. Set it to the following settings: Size: 35px. Hardness: 0% Opacity: 30% flow: 100%. Remove the extra part. Remove the clear line of shadow ships. Change the settings of transparency brush and erase some of the ships that are the most in the fog and the smallest.

    I appreciate you making this tutorial. The original stocks aren’t there, but the concepts are good, and I followed most of them before changing it to my own art.

      Hi! There will need to add an adjustment layer “Selective Color…” Go to Layer New Adjustment layer > Selective Color… or use icon on Layer panel. Excuse me, for an unfortunate mistake with the picture. Previously, it was. I hope you will be able to open this –

      If not, here are the settings for the adjustment layer:
      1. Preset: Custom, Colors: Blues.
      Settings for this color: Cyan:0, Magenta:0, Yellow:+14, Black:0.
      2. Preset: Custom, Colors: Yellows.
      Settings for this color: Cyan:+43, Magenta:+40, Yellow:+100, Black:0.
      Thank you very much! I really appreciate it! Once again, forgive me!

    I have not been able to locate a few of the pictures I needed to download for this project. The Fjords link shows a photo that says 11 photos. I’m pretty new at this but I have no idea how to get the 11 photos. They seem to be in one photo?

      Hi! I understand, but on the right side of the resource page is a great button “Download”. Click on it and save the file to your computer. Then use program to unzip photos (for example WinRAR) in the corect folder. Then locate the file of the photo with the name “IMG_0328” and place it in your work. That’s it! You can continue worked. Just the author made ​​a presentation that be in his archive. This is an advertisement :) I checked that the archive is desired photo and he downloaded from the site. I hope I helped you.
