We’re going to increase the height of this one too. Go to the Free Transform mode and pull the middle square of the top section again to increase its height.
While in the Free Transform mode, click with the right mouse button in the ribbon and select Warp. Warp it to make it look like its holding the first balloon.
With all the ribbons, your image should be like this now:
If you created the Ribbons group in the beginning and placed all the ribbons in it, you should have this group now.
Step 13 Add the hand pushing the balloon
Open the hand stock and select it with the Quick Selection Tool (W).
Paste it into our scene and go to .
Now resize it using the Free Transform Tool and place it in the right corner of our image, on the top.
Create a new layer by clicking in the ‘Create a new layer’ button (you can also press Ctrl/Command+Alt/Option+Shift+N to create a new layer). Then, rename it to ‘Shadow’ and place it behind the hand layer.
Paint the shadow using the image below as reference.
Open the Balloons group and while holding Ctrl/Command click in the thumbnail of the second balloon (the one underneath the hand). We have to do this to make sure that the Gaussian Blur doesn’t make the Shadow go over the sky.
Now add the Gaussian Blur effect by going to and set a radius of 5px.
Your image should now look like this:
I don’t like that little imperfection we have in our hand stock, so we’re going to remove it. Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool (J) and with the hand layer selected, click in that bruise.
With the bruise removed, your image should be similar to this one:
To finish this step, as usual, create a new group to the hand and its shadow. Name the group Hand.
Step 14 Add the floating window
Open the window image and use the Pen Tool(P) to make 4 lines around the window.
Then, right click inside the path you just made and click in Make Selection
Set the Feather Radius to 0px and click OK.
Copy and paste the window into our scene. Resize it using the Free Transform Tool and check in the image below the placement.
