Step 21

Once you've done that, activate the Move tool (V) and drag the selected girl to our canvas. Put her above all the layers that we've created. Move and position her as shown below:

Step 22

Now, rename this layer to "other woman". Next, we will put her on one of the steps of the stairs and in order to make the perspective look realistic we would have to erase her feet. To do that, activate the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M).

Step 24

Now, we would need to make the other woman blend with the depth of field of the background. Therefore we would need to blur her a little, to do that, make sure that the other woman layer is selected and then go to Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and once it opens, set the radius to 1 pixel.

Step 25

Next, we would need to darken the other woman, to start, create a New Layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and then name it "darken other woman". Make sure that this new layer is above the "other woman" layer. Once you're done, right click on this newly created layer and then click on "Create Clipping Mask". Next, activate the Brush tool (B) and then input the following:

  • Brush size: 900px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 15%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: 000000

Now, let's paint:

Step 26

Now that we're done, let's group all the layers that we've created since Step 3. Name this group as "People". Now, we will create the heavenly light from above. To start, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) above all the layers and groups that we've made and then name it "heavenly light". Next, activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:

  • Brush size: 2200px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 15%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: ffffff

Let's start painting the heavenly light:

Step 27

Now, let's create the heavenly materials falling from the sky. To start, first download the brush set: "Winter SnowFlake Brushes PS7" by KeepWaiting. Make sure to put this brush set to the following directory: Adobe Photoshop > Presets > Brushes. Next, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) above the "heavenly light" layer and name it "sparkles 1". Activate the Brush tool (B) and then right click on the canvas to bring up the Brush tool's (B) contextual menu. Once up, press the drop-down button.
