We still have some areas needed to be uncovered. Load selection from the slanted shapes just we did earlier. You can combine selections by holding "Shift" key along with "Ctrl" when loading a second selection.

Step 30

We have the perfect selection that we can use to reveal the blocked area. Click on the model's Layer Mask and fill the selection with white.

Step 36

We need to perform some color operations to match the main model. First add a Curves adjustment layer, adjust the curve to pump up the contrast and also to brighten up the mid tones. Clip the layer to the model layer.

Step 38

We need the model to fit inside the triangle. Follow the same procedure as we did with the other model. Load selection from the triangle's vector path.

I created another layer and this time I applied gradient on the bottom part of the selection.

Step 46

Open the black raven image with Photoshop. We need to cut out the bird. There are a couple of ways to achieve this. We will employ the Color Range command to do this since we have a plain background. You can find the Color Range command under Select > Color Range. Hover your mouse over the thumbnail box and pick the white color using the color picker.

Step 47

Press Ok. Now we have all the white are is selected, press Ctrl + Shift + I to invert the selection.

Step 48

We will fine tune the selection using the Refine Edge command. It is located under Select > Refine Edge (Ctrl + Alt + R). Refine Edges is a great feature to work with selections. We can modify the selections in many different ways. We can contract or expand, apply feather and smooth the selection and so on. Adjust the sliders to fine tune the selection. When it's good press OK.

Step 49

Press Ctrl + J to separate the bird into a new layer. Now we can drag this into the main composition! But first convert it into a Smart Object.
