Step 9
Import the image of the BackGround on to the working canvas and place it as shown.
Step 10
In any photo-manipulation or matte painting works lighting plays an important role in making the scene look more convincing in all natural aspects. Hence in this scene we assume that the light source is on the right side of the scene. -Using the Soft Round Brush (B) paint the dark shadow on the left side of the women and the bark as shown.
Step 11
As we said in the intro that the nature is holding it's last light of hope from dying, we need to add few dead branches in the scene to create the dry feel in the scene. In this step we are going to cut the dead tree from its image and place it in our scene. 1) Import the image of the Dead Tree 1 and select the Blue Channel from the 'Channels' pallet. The go to Image>Calculations and select the Blue channel from the channel drop down list.Â




Step 12
In this step we are going to add wings to the woman. 1) Import the image of the Wings into the scene and place them on the back of the woman as shown.

Step 13
: In this step we are going to create a deforested landscape in the background. 1) Import the Deforestation image on to the canvas and place it as shown.





Step 14
In this step we are going to add a tombstone in the scene representing the end of the nature. -Cut the Tombstone from the original image using Pen Tool (P), then import it onto the working canvas and place it at the bottom of the scene as shown.
Step 15
1) With the tombstone layer selected go to Image>Adjustments>Black and White and convert the image into gray scale.

These look fantastic! Thanks for bringing them together – what a great collection
Nice tutorial, but the writer doesn't seem to know the difference between the singular "woman" and the plural "women." VERY annoying.
