Step 10
Continue changing the ground color with a Color Balance adjustment layer:


Step 11
I used a Curves adjustment layer to add some light to the ground:

On this Curves layer mask use a soft black brush to erase the left and make the right brighter:

Step 12
Continue using another Curves adjustment layer to darken the left:

Erase the right on this Curves layer mask to keep it brighter:

Step 13
The ground needs some vibrant color so I used a Selective Color adjustment layer to do it:


Step 14
To add a dreamy effect to this ground, go to Layer > New Fill Layer > Solid Color:

Lower the opacity of this layer to 30%, also use a soft black brush to remove this effect on the higher part and reduce it on the ground:

Step 15
To add some mist to the whole scene, I made a new layer, used a soft brush with white color to paint on the right of the pic. Change the mode of this layer to Soft Light 50%:


Step 16
On a new layer, use this brush with the opacity and flow about 30% to paint over the pic. Alter the mode to Soft Light 100%:


Step 17
Create a Curves adjustment layer on the top of all layers:


Step 18
Use Color Balance to add another colors to the scene:


Step 19
I used Selective Color with the same purpose:

On this layer mask use a soft black brush to reduce the effect on some of the trees below:

Step 20
We’re still in the process of adding color to the scene. On a new layer, I used a soft brush with the color #6e9299 to paint on the right side of the picture. Set the mode of this layer to Hard Light 100%:


Step 21
Make a new layer and use the same brush to paint on the right of the ground. Alter this layer mode to Hard Light 30%:

Step 22
To add more dreamy effect to the ground I used a soft brush with another color (#d2f0bb) to paint on the right of it. Change the mode to Soft Light 40%:

Step 23
Open the model stock photo and extract her from the background:

Step 24
Make a new layer and use the Clone Tool to remove the tattoo on one of her legs:

Step 25
In this step we’ll be adding more hair to the model. Make a new layer and use a basic, hard brush with the color #e9e1cc. Press F5 to change the settings of this brush:
