“Sleeping Girl in Tub” Photo Manipulation

After renaming it, let's now position the sky image. Position it as shown on the image below:

For composition purposes, we would need to resize the sky a little to get rid of that little gray cloud on the upper left of our image. Activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and then resize the image as shown below:

The result should be similar to this:

With that done, let's now fix the background and make them look like one image. Let's proceed now to our next step.

Step 4: Fix the Background

So we're going to fix our background to make it one seamless photo-manipulation. To start, we will darken some parts of the ground. Create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and then name this layer: "darken 1". Put this layer below our "sky" layer by clicking on this layer and dragging it below the "sky" layer. See image below:

After that, let's ready the tools we need to paint. Activate the Brush tool (B) but before we start, make sure that the active Brushes are the default brushes. The default Photoshop brushes are shown on the image below, if that's not what you see, then follow the instructions below:

Right-click the canvas while a layer is selected and while the Brush tool (B) is activated and then click on the button highlighted below:

Then click on "Reset Brushes" from the contextual menu.

Now, that that is done input the following settings for our Brush tool (B):

Brush size: 200px
Hardness: 0%
Opacity: 15%
Flow: 100%
#: 000000

Note: The "#" means the color of the brush. 000000 is the color black, but to make sure that you will be using that brush color, follow the steps below:

After clicking the Foreground tool, the Color Picker box would open. Once open, input the following on the # space:

Your brush now has the black color; so now, let's get ready to paint. Now that that's done, we are now set to paint! On the "darken 1" layer, paint this out using the brush settings:

The result of that should be similar to this:

Next, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name it "Darken 2". Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following settings:

Brush size: 400px
Hardness: 0%
Opacity: 15%
Flow: 100%
#: 000000

When that's done, get ready to paint.

The result of that should be like this:

Create another layer again (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name this layer: "Darken 3". Activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following settings:

Brush size: 1200px
Hardness: 0%
Opacity: 25%
Flow: 100%
#: 000000

Now let's start painting:

The result of that should be similar to this:

Now, let's create another layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name it: "Darken 4". Next, activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following settings:

Brush size: 800px
Hardness: 0%
Opacity: 15%
Flow: 100%
#: 000000

Let's start painting, then!

The result of that should be similar to this:

Now that that's done, we'll now proceed on fixing the light of the sky. To start, create a new layer (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and put this layer above the "sky" layer, name this layer to "Light 1". Once that's done, activate the Brush tool (B) and input the following settings:

Brush size: 200px
Hardness: 0%
Opacity: 15%
Flow: 100%
