Step 1 - Create a new image
We will be creating a square canvas for this image so to begin, let’s create a new Photoshop document with the following settings:- Width: 3000 pixels
- Height: 3000 pixels
- Resolution: 300 dpi
- Color Mode: RGB Color; 8bit
- Background Contents: Transparent
Step 2 - Create the background
In this step, we would be creating our background, specifically the table and the sky. Let’s start by creating our sky. Open the stock image: Premade Background 20. We would only need the sky in this image so activate the Rectangular Marquee tool (M) and click on a point on the edge of the image and drag the mouse down to where the sky meets the ground. See image below:- Brush size: 1000 px
- Hardness: 15%
- Opacity: 100%
- Flow: 100%

Beautiful tutorial and I want to try but stock links broken?
Yes the stock links seem broken. That is the downsides of using free stock photos; they can sometimes disappear without any warning.
most links of stock were died, who can give me links??
Thx
Thanks for letting me know! I've updated the links including the long road picture. There was one picture that I couldn't find the link for but it's just a cloud picture that's easily found somewhere else.
Great tutorial! I really love it! I only have one problem... It seems the image of the long road is not available anymore :( Any chance you know where to find it or maybe mail it to me? I can't find any other good images to use as replacement. Thx
