Step 20
Next a little black and white (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Black and White) with a lowered opacity can give it a darker mood and a more “Classic” look.
Step 21
However I am not going for that look, but the black and white layer placed before the adjustment colors will give an interesting look. So let’s bump the vibrancy back up with a Vibrancy (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Vibrance) layer to get some of the brighter colors to pop for our gradient maps.
Step 22
Finally, I usually end with Gradient Maps (Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Gradient Map) to unify the overall image with a similar set of colors, the gradient presets work very well here and are a popular choice for myself but must be eased in as Overlay blending modes and lowered opacities.
And we’re done! Congrats on you’re image! Hopefully, you learned something new here today and had fun creating this humorous and whimsical image!

I got to the refine edge and when the selection is still active and Magic wand tool on. I right click but do not see refine edge. help
-
The refine edge tool was moved in newer versions of Photoshop. I’ll update the instructions to reflect this change.
1. Select the Magic Wand tool (w).
2. Right-click on the selection and choose “Select and Mask” (If it’s grayed out, make sure you have the layer selected).
3. Select the “Refine Edge Brush Tool” from the left toolbar, or press R.
4. Brush over the areas to refine then click the OK button.Video of where it is: https://imgur.com/a/SvCbWWU

I’m sorry but many of these tutorials are so lame.

Peter Smith Agree. I think is time to get out of this page

First I want to say I have no connection to this site… I just use it like thousands of others. I just had to say “Peter Smith you need to get a life”. These tutorials are from talented people. If you don’t like a site DON’T USE IT. I am sorry that you are so unhappy with your own life that you need to put other people down. I owned my own “very successful” 10 person marketing design firm for over 30 years. I know good design… and these tutorials are not lame. I may not use the tutorials step by step… but I always take away some technique I can use elsewhere. Social media has created an avenue for people like you to post comments “while sitting in your Mom’s basement” that somehow make you feel superior. NOTE: don’t bother sending back some nasty “made up” response to this comment… as I won’t read it. Instead I will use my time enjoying life and expanding my knowledge. Why don’t you create your own tutorial site and let people write you nasty comments. My guess is that you do not have the ambition to do something that helps make other people grateful. I am sure your comment back to me would be “I am just too busy creating great art” to create a site… but I could. If that was true… why try to tear down someone else’s work. Go do your own thing and leave the people behind “Photoshop Tutorials” alone!
