Photoshop photo Synthesis Tutorial: Medieval female warrior

This tutorial is lengthy and includes a lot of details about how to do it, which is very useful in image processing. such as the synthesis of the characters of clothing and hair sense of the processing, screen smoke and texture effects of rendering. It seems simple, but the author's approach is unique and worth learning.
Final effect

1, first of all, we need to pull out the girl from the background, open the girl photo and create a selection in any way you like, (I'm using the Polygon lasso tool (L)), and I make a small selection, and when I press the SHILF key, I can make other choices within the constituency. Alternatively, you can press the ALT key to trim the existing selections. Note: Don't worry too much about the hair problem now, we'll deal with it later in the work.

2, click Select > Modify > Feather (or Shift F6), write 0.5 pixels.

3. When you are satisfied with your choice, copy/paste or drag the girl into a 3000px*1800px. A new file with a resolution of 200, resize, place her in the lower position, rename the layer to "girl", and we'll use it often later.

4, we must first make some adjustments to the girl, so that in the final effect she will look more natural. First of all, see the skirt behind a little bit? A dirty and wet skirt is more of a heavy sense and should fall straight down. So select this part of the diagram, perform the filter---"liquefaction, push with the forward deformation tool (W) and the expansion tool (B).

5, the skirt in front of the belly drum out of the part of the same operation.

6, the image--> adjust the--> color level (or directly by Ctrl+l), as shown in the figure set. Throughout this tutorial, we will use this method several times to change the dark part of the picture, to create some high saturation contrast effect. Note: If you want to get a sweaty skin effect, this step must be done.
