We will give you a detailed analysis of photoshop software and share with you the tutorial on merging sunset peaks.
Tutorial sharing:
1. Create a new 1791X1188 pixel file in Photoshop with a white background. Open the source image in the clip, and drag the image into the canvas with the mobile tool (V.
2. In this step, we will remove the details of the foreground and lower areas of the image (as shown in the area indicated by the arrow in the figure ). At this layer, we mainly use the plug-in tool to select the region where the details need to be removed, and execute edit-fill-content recognition.
3. Continue to use the plug-in tool to identify the content of the area mentioned above, the skill in this step is to make the selection area as small as possible (if a large area of content is identified, it will be prone to unwanted details !) And patience, patience, and patience! The comparison chart before and after processing.
4. Use gradient superposition to change the contrast and color of the photo. Double-click the source image layer, select gradient superposition, and change the layer mode to "Soft Light". Click the gradient bar to change the gradient color to the following color (#2e1902 # fab337 ).
5. Next, use an adjustment layer to add some red to the screen. Execute layer-new adjust layer-color balance, as shown in the following figure.
6. Then, use a black soft brush with a transparency of 10-15% to erase the lower half of the color balance layer. The following figure shows the position and effect.
7. Open the "sky" image in the clip. Use the rectangular box selection tool to select and copy the sky part to our previous photo, edit, transform, and flip horizontally, and adjust the sky part to the appropriate size and position.
8. Add a mask to the sky layer, and erase the edge of the sky in the mask with a soft black brush (brush size and transparency are self-grasped) to make the sky between the sky and the mountain look more natural.
9. Execute layer-New Adjustment Layer-curve, and check "use the previous layer to create a clipboard" to create a new curve layer for the sky to highlight the sky.
10. Find the "waterfall" image in the material and open it. Copy the part of the waterfall in the picture to the appropriate position on the top of the mountain. Then, change the layer mode to "filter color" with a transparency of 100%.
11. Create a curve layer (cut mask) to compress the hidden waterfall, and then wipe it over the top left of the waterfall with a black soft brush on the curve layer mask to match the brightness of the scene.
12. In the material, locate "branch1", select the desired branchpart in the image, and place it in the lower left corner of the image.
13. Use the inner shadow effect to add light to the branches. Double-click the layer, select the inner shadow, and set it as shown in the following figure.
14. Execute the filter-Blur-Gaussian blur and set the radius to 4 px.
15. Use a color balancing layer (cut mask) to change the color of the branches.
16. Add a color/saturation layer for the branches.
17. Adds a new branch with a curve laminated dark.
18. Separate the leaves of "branching 2" in the material, place the leaves in the lower right of the picture, and adjust the size according to your preferences.
19. Use the color phase/saturation as branch 2 to reduce the saturation.
20. Add a curve laminated dark branches 2 and Polish some dark leaves with a brush on the curve layer mask.
21. Add the inner shadow effect for branching 2, as shown in the preceding figure, to make the branches look natural. The settings and results are shown in the following figure.
22. Repeat Step 12 to apply the filter-Blur-Gaussian blur to branch2 and select 4 px for the radius.
23. Add "branches 3" to the upper right corner of the image.
24. Use the color balancing layer (cut mask) to change the color of the branches, as shown in the following figure.
25. Add an inner shadow to the branches 3. The color and value are the same as those in the front, and the angle is changed to 165.
26. Continue to blur branch 3. The operation is the same as that of branch 1 and branch 2.
27. Open the "tower" image, select the area of the tower and copy it to the position shown in the image, and adjust it to the appropriate size. Execute Edit> control deformation to edit the tower.
28. Add a layer mask on the layer and brush the bottom of the tower with a clear brush to make the fusion of the bottom and the ground more natural.
29. Add a bit of fog to the tower to make it look more ethereal, so you can go to the layer-New fill layer-solid color, the color is shown in the figure! Set the transparency of the filled layer to around 60%.
30. Use a curve to increase the contrast of the tower. On the curve layer mask, erase the left side of the tower to make it look more natural.
31. Next, use the color phase/saturation to change the color of the tower, and then erase the lower part in the color phase/saturation layer mask.
32. Create a new layer, select "overlay" in the mode, and select "create clipboard with the previous layer" and "fill and overlay neutral color (50% gray )". Select the intermediate adjustment range in the fade-down and deepen tools, and expose the light and shadows of the tower about 10-15% to make it look more integrated with the environment.
33. Create a channel mixing layer on the top of the screen. The specific data is as follows.
34. Use a brush to erase the image. The erased position is shown in the following figure.
35. Add a gradient ing layer. Set the color of the gradient ing layer to #041f47, # ca871e, and # fdfb6b to reduce the opacity of the gradient ing layer to 20%.
36. Create a photo filter layer to add a little green color to the screen.
37. Use a paint brush to smear the sky area on the photo filter layer mask.
38. Create a new layer, which is the same as the setting in step 29, but deselect the mask clipping option. Use a light reduction tool to make stronger light for the mountains in the middle.
39. Create a new layer, use the paint brush to select the color #3d1004 to paint on the top of the screen, change the layer mode to linear fade mode, and set the transparency to 100%, use a layer mask to remove the effects of the leaves on the top and on the ground.
40. Create a new layer, apply the color # ef8f3a brush to the upper left corner (Sun part) of the image, set the mode to linear fade, and the transparency to 100%.
41. Add a natural saturation layer to enhance the color and brightness of the photo.
42. Finally, the last step! Create a new layer under the tower layer, press Cmd/Ctrl, and click the thumbnail layer of the tower to load its selection.
43. Fill the selection area in Black (edit-fill or Shift + F5), flip vertical (edit-transform-flip vertical), and place it on the bottom of the tower. Use CTRL + T to change the shadow, as shown in the following figure.
44. Set the transparency to 30%. Execute the filter-Blur-Gaussian blur and set the radius to 4 px.
45. Add a layer mask on the layer and erase the top and bottom of the shadow.
Final effect:
All right, the above information is all the content that is shared by the production tutorial of merging the sunset mountain scenes for users of this software in photoshop, you can see the software users here. I believe that it is a very clear scenario creation tutorial, then you can follow the tutorial above to create a map of the sunset mountain scene.
