In this layer, I created a shadow that then can be applied to adjustment layers and turn the picture into the night. Hold Opt/Alt and click on the "Create a new layer" icon. Set Blending Mode to Overlay, checked "Fill with Overlay-neutral color (50% gray). Next, I use Burn Tool (O) with Exposure: 25%. to draw a shadow. Use the image below to see the location of the shadows. Please note that you need to darken the edges of the image and the background.

Here we come to the final part of the photo manipulation. In this final part I on the example I will show how to accurately and correctly create one beautiful tint. This type of tinting is very popular now. I understand that you need two-three layers and is ready, but it's not always a good solution. Most of the images lose their color and become faceless. Now I will only add adjustment layers and the first to be a "Selective color" (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Brightness/Contrast... or "Add adjustment layer" icon on the bottom of Layer panel). I'm interested in only two colors - yellow and blue. I want to become a more gentle green color and the shadows are a little warmer.

  1. Great tutorial! I've done almost all manipulation tutorials online and this one is very nice. It used some different techniques I haven't explored. On step 23, what color do we use on the dress? Mine just says "#"
