Step 37

Open tree 3 stock. Isolate the tree at the bottom right and position it at the bottom left of our main document and don’t forget to convert it to Smart Object:

misty37a

Darken and change color of it with Curves and blur with Gaussian Blur filter (2,5 px):

Step 38

Take tree 4 and situate it at the top right of our picture, transform to get the look below:

Make color and brightness of this tree fit the background with Color Balance and Curves:

Step 39

We finished adding all elements. Now it’s time for blending. Create some adjustment layers on the top.

Gradient Map:

Lower opacity of this Gradient Map layer to 20%.

Color Balance:

Hue/Saturation:

Step 40

I use two new layers and take soft brush with color to make some mist and brighten the top of picture, especially the left. I set the first layer to Soft Light 30% and the second to Overlay 70%:

    Очень замечательный урок!:) Делаю с огромным удовольствием!:) Правда остановился на 33 шаге, не могу сообразить где эта часть горы которую нужно вставить в правый угол на передний план. Уже измучился и не пойму как тут разобраться:) Просидел над этим куском горы уже весь день:)) Неужели тут придётся вырисовывать… так скажем проявить смекалку…)
