Step 1 - Create a new image
To start off, let’s create a new file, go to the Menu bar and click on File > New and use these settings:- Width: 3000px
- Height: 3000px
- Resolution: 300 dpi
- Color Mode: RGB Color; 8bit
- Background Contents: Transparent

Step 2 - Create the background
The first step in creating our background is the creation of the sky. Open “Sunset S7 Stock Image “from the folder you’ve saved it into and then drag it to our canvas by using the Move tool (V). With the image on the canvas, click on the layer and then rename it to “sky”. To rename a layer, just double click on the word “layer 1” and you will be able to rename that layer. After that, activate your Transform tool by pressing Ctrl/Cmd + T and transform the image as seen below:

- Angle: 0’
- Distance: 100px



Step 3 - Insert the Buggy
In this step, we will be adding our subject, the Classic Volkswagen Buggy; open the “Old Buggy” stock image from the folder you’ve saved it into and then activate the Polygonal Lasso tool (L) because we would need to remove the Buggy from its background.
