Step 1
Now, let's start by creating a new image file, go to the Menu bar and click File > New, and then input the following values on their respective fields:- Preset: Custom
- Width: 2480 pixels
- Height: 3508 pixels
- Resolution: 300pixels/inch

Step 2
In this step, we will be creating the stairway inside the castle. To start, open "Nightstock 701" by Nightstock. Next activate the Move Tool by pressing V on your keyboard and then left-click on the stock image and then drag it to our canvas. Position the stock image as shown on the image below:![image006[4] image006[4]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/image0064.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)
Step 3
Next, we will resize this image to fit our canvas. To start, activate the Transform tool by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + T. Once the Transform tool appears, a series of squares would appear on the sides of the stock image to be transformed. Drag the encircled square to the respective direction as shown below:![image007[4] image007[4]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/image0074.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)

Step 4
Now, we would need to image's angle and to do that we would need to activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) once again. Now, that it is activated, right click on the canvas to prompt the appearance of the Transform tool's contextual menu. Once it appears, click on Distort.![image009[4] image009[4]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/image0094.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)

Step 5
Next, we will fix the lighting on this stock image. To do that, select the image and then activate the Curves adjustment tool by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + M. Once it opens, drag the line to the point shown below or you may also input the following values on their respective boxes:- Channel: RGB
- Output: 125
- Input: 103

Step 6
Now, that we're done, select all the layers that we've made in this step and then press Ctrl/Cmd + G to group them. We would need to group the layers in order to avoid confusion in later steps. Rename the layer to "Background", renaming a group is similar to renaming a layer - simply double-click on the words: "Group 1" (you can find that on the layer window) to prompt a text box to appear and then type in the name you want to put.![image014[4] image014[4]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/image0144.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)
Step 7
Now, we will be creating the girl who pretended to be a mortal and now is bewildering the woman below on such a holy sighting. To start, let's open "262-float" by wolfcatstock. Now, that it is open, activate the Polygonal Lasso tool (L) because we would use this to select the woman and isolate her from her background.![image015[4] image015[4]](https://cdn.photoshoptutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/image0154.jpg?strip=all&lossy=1&quality=64&w=1920&ssl=1)
