Now, let's create the shadow of this girl. To start, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name it "Shadow". Remember, for easy painting of shadows, always put the shadow layer below the targeted layer. In this case, put the shadow layer below the "girl" layer.

Next, activate the Brush tool (B) and then input the following:

  • Brush size: 400px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 25%
  • Flow: 100%
  • #: 000000

Next, we will darken the child for it to look seamless together with the other images. First let's create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and then name this image "Darken 1". Put this layer above the "girl" layer. After that, right-click on it and then click on "Create Clipping Mask".

Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following:

  • Brush size: 45px
  • Hardness: 0%
  • Opacity: 20%
  • Flow: 100%

Step 7: Enhance the Light, Color, and Impact of the Photo

Now, we will be enhancing the overall photo, from its color to its light. First, let's start off by adjusting the brightness/contrast of the image. Let's create a Brightness/Contrast adjustment layer through the "Create New Fill/Adjustment layer" button.

Now you'd see that the whole canvas is covered in a dark blue hue. We don't want that so let's change the blending mode and opacity of that layer to the following:

  • Blending mode: Exclusion
  • Opacity: 50%
