this course and start learning how
to create deep, amazing photo composites or the photo manipulations
in Adobe Photoshop.
2. 1 Basic Adjustments in Lightroom The Autumn Collector RMX: First of all, we are
in the Adobe Lightroom and we'll press first
the auto option. And it is going to adjust the
automatically everything. And then we will test it
a little bit further. So we'll open up the
shadows a little bit and lower down the contrast. Maybe something like this. And increase the light a little bit and increase the
black a little bit. Then we will come down on the vibrance and the saturation. So we'll increase
the saturation so that we get deep
almost skin tone. And let's come down over here on the lens correction and jet this Enable Profile Correction and Remove Chromatic Aberration. Now let's come again over here and lower down the
exposure a little bit. Maybe something like this. Because I think the
exposure is not incorrect. Maybe something like
this as just fine. Let's come down in the sharpening belt panel
and press Alt or Option, and drag this masking option
and increase the sharpening. Similarly for the
noise reduction, increase the noise
reduction to 24 something. Right-click and select, add it in Adobe Photoshop CC 2018. From here you need to
select the edit in. And it's going to
open in Photoshop. So see you in the next lecture where we will edit the
image in the Photoshop.
3. 2 Skin Retouching in Photoshop The Autumn Collector RMX: As you can see, the image has been opened in Adobe Photoshop. So let's zoom in and
create a new blank layer. And we're going to remove all these sports or
the skin blemishes. So for that purpose,
we'll choose the spot healing brush by
pressing G on our keyboard. Or we can come over
here and select that to wherever you will
see some spots. Just paint over it and
it's going to fix that. It's very quick and very fast and effective
method, however, you can use other
tools as well like clone stamp tool or the
spot of sample tool. But this one works just
fine and very fast. I always use this one. Now let's create
a duplicate copy or manage them together by pressing Control Shift E. And please create a new
copy by pressing Control J. And then go to the Edit
and select NPO job so that you get some free up or
you get some free memories. So that way, your
Photoshop will not be slowdown and go to the
Select and select subject. That way it is going to make the selection of the
subject quickly.
4. 3 Masking out the Boy in Photoshop The Autumn Collector RMX: As you can see that Photoshop is now selecting the subject ID. This process, take
this a little bit time depending on the
speed of your system, but once it is done, you will get a better as well. You can see now it has
made a quick selection. Selection is not that perfect, but we can define it from here. So for that purpose, we can use the quick
selection tool and paint over the area
which I want to include. This is a better option
than the pen tool, because in the pen tool you have to spend a lot more time. But with the Select
Subject option, which is a latest feature in the latest version
of the Photoshop. It gives you a quick
selection and then you can start working from there
and refine your selection. If you press Alt and
paint over the area is going to remove it
from those areas. Similarly, you can span a lot more time to
refine your selection. I always spend a
little bit extra time to define my selection because that way I get the better result while
making the composites. So it's very important to have a perfect or nearly
perfect cutout or the mosque to get the better result in
photo components. Though this task is a little
bit boring, but believe me, once you will spend a
little bit extra time, that's going to give you some
much, much better results. All right, let me just
quickly do this and come back because it
might be boring for you. All right, so now you can see that I have refined
the selection now need to come over here
and select and mask options, so I need to press that. And thereafter you will get
to see this kind of menu. And let's increase the
opacity so that we can see the white
background clearly. Then we can refine our
selection from here. So we need to see where
we see some problem and we don't see if any
problem press, Okay. If you want to learn
more about this, then go checkout the
previous lecture about the Pen tool and
refine that selection. That way you will be
able to know how, what can be done to
define this direction. And there is one
problem over here. There is a fly, so
let me remove it. So again, I'll select the spot healing brush
and paint over that, and boom, it's gone. So this is very fast
and effective method.
5. 4 Changing and Blurring Background in Photoshop RMX: Alright, so now selection is done bringing the background. So bring this background. You might have
downloaded it from the exercise files and
place it over here. By pressing Control
Alt or Option, and drag the corner
above or outside source, scale it up to
something like this. So it gets filled the frame
and bring this layer down. And now you can see the
subject is on the top. Now what we can do, we'll select the subject. I'll go here, and we'll select the convert to smart object. And it's going to make it a Smart Object and
we'll rename it as boy. Now when you will
re-scale it or resize it. For that purpose, we'll press Control T or Command
T. If you are using Mac and click and drag it inside by pressing Shift
and Alt or Shift or Option if you're using
Mac and make it of this size so that it
looks good over here. And bring this layer down
cell indeed background layer. And I click and select, rasterize and press
Control S to save it. Keep on saving your
work on the time basis. And now we'll go to the
Filter Blur Gallery and we will choose the
field blood or tilt shift. So we'll choose the
tilt shift and click and drag this circle, maybe around here,
whatever is between these two lines that would be in focus and rest of wood BD blood. So let's drag it even
further little bit over here so you can adjust this position according
to your liking. Maybe something like this
and increase the blur from this option. Let's increase it. The more willing fees will
get more bouquet effect. Then we can play with the light bouquet option,
which is over here. You can see we start to see some volcano or light
bouquet in the background. And we can even
change their color by clicking on this slider or dragging this
bouquet color slider, we can adjust the light range. So how much light it considers
to create the bucket. We can ingest that with
the help of this option. Maybe something like this and bring down the
light bouquet. I don't like it in this case because that
seems to be too bright. So I want it a little bit bulky
button on that one, okay. On that much and then
press OK once we are done. And it's going to take a little bit because this
filter is very heavy. It's gonna take lots of
load on your system. If you are working with full
resolution MAs like this, then obviously it's going
to take much longer. So let it complete. Yes, Now you can see it has
been done and V have created such a beautiful bouquet and now the background
looks much amazing.
6. 5 Painting Shadow of the Child in Photoshop RMX: You can see the before and
after and let's zoom in. And now we are going to
paint the shadow under it so that it looks like that
this boy belongs here. And select this layer
and by pressing Control will click on
the New Layer icon. That way, we'll get a new
layer under this layer. And let's rename it as shadow. Keep on saving your work
by pressing Control S or Command S. And now let's
select the brush tool. And from here we'll select
these soft as brush with 100% opacity and 0% hardness and we'll make it 10% opacity. At this time. We'll zoom in, select the black
color and we'll start painting on this area. Let's come in first, understand the light from
where the light is coming, and then start
bending on that area. In this case, right light is
coming from the left side. Little bit from the backside. So we'll start painting on this area and paint
the shadow In this. Make sure the opacity
is always low and paint more and make the area darker under the
shoes because that area, the shadow is always darker
compared to the other areas. Whatever is touching the ground, that has to be more
dark. And zoom in. And you can change
the size of the brush by left bracket or the right
bracket and keep on bending. You can press it is a or E for the eraser tool
and then you can eat, is it from certain part where
you don't like that shadow? Again, switch back by
pressing B to the brush. Now let's create a
mask on the boy. And we are going to remove
certain part of the shoes so that it gets mixed
with the dry leaves. So I'll make it 100%. And with the black color, we'll paint on this area
that it appears that he is actually standing there because if there are the leaves, then obviously your shoe
will not be seen clearly. The sole of the
shoe will be under the in mixed in the leaves. So that's why we are removing certain bottom
part of the shoes. That way we can somewhat
create the realism. And it would not look at the boys actually
floating there. These are small techniques, but these are very useful. So always go for the act. And over here on this as well, they are going to remove this wiper because
I want it to have something which is used
for collecting the leaves. I'm going to remove
this rubber part and make it something like
this so that it appears that it is inside the leaves and the sharper part of this is inside the leaves. Let's see if I can
paint anywhere else. Pay a little bit extra time on the details and keep
on painting with it. And if you want
them to think back, paint for the white color. White is going to bring it back and black is
going to take it away. You can see now this one
is looking much better. Press Control S to save it. Select the shadows and if you feel there is certain problem, always go back and refine it. You will have to switch
between zoom in and zoom out. And let me push all
of my memories. But makes sure once you'll
purge all of your memories, you will not able to go back. You won't be having any command jet or control jet command or option available once you
clear all of your memories. But that helps you to walk
faster on the Photoshop.
7. 6 Color Grading the Background in Photoshop Camera Raw RMX: Alright, so now once
we have done it and now we need to work
on the background. So I'll press Control Shift
H or Command Shift a to open up the camera raw option that is available only in the
Adobe Photoshop CC, increase the temperature
to something like this. And the change the tint
as well so that we get some autumn color
in the background, all of the leaves and bring down the exposure a little bit. Maybe something like this
and increase the contrast. I think. Come to the saturation
option or hues option, and change the hue
of the red and the orange to maybe
something like this. You can change or
change the orange hue towards the red
colors so that we get more red in the leaves. And yellow to the green side and green to the yellow site, or a little bit more greener. And then we will come in the luminance panel and increase the luminance of the
orange or bring down, bring it down, make
it a little darker, and increase the
luminance of the yellow. You can play with
all these settings and according to your liking, you can just maybe
something like this, equa, increase the equity as well
and then press OK. And you can see now our background
looks much, much amazing. And now the focus
is only on the boy. Now press Control Shift a, once again will readjust. It will increase the
exposure a little bit more because that
was looking much darker. And I don't want
it to be that OK.
8. 7 Light Matching in Photoshop : Now you can see it is
looking much better. So let's come to the
adjustment layer, select the curves
adjustment from here. And let's click over here and
drag the highlights down. So top is the
highlights and click on this clipping mask so that
it affects only the boy. And click here in the
shadows and bring it down. And let's increase it from the highlights a little
bit. Something like this. And let's place the property over here so that I
can see it properly. Then you can see the difference before and after earlier it was too bright. And we will select
the brush tool. And with the black color, we'll select and paint on
the as is so that we can get some rim lights on the edges
of the shirt and the boy. That's how we can replicate the light or the rim
light since the light is coming from the back a
little bit on the left side. So that's how we are
trying to create some light so you can manipulate
it, something like this.
9. 8 Adding Backlight in Photoshop : As you can see now this
one looks much better, so we'll select the
background and create a new blend layer to
add the backlight. So we'll go to the swatches. If it is not, go to
the Windows and select swatches and select
the orange color, maybe something like this. With the softest brush
with 100% opacity, start bending once or twice
in this and press Control T and drag it outside to
make the light burst, something like this and press this checkmark and change
the layer blend mode to, let's say color dose and
try different color modes. So linear DOJ. Or we can go for the, let's say hard light
or soft light. Soft light is not looking good. You can even check the screen, so you need to try a
different blending modes. And let's see which
one looks good. I think linear dose
is looking good. Let's try overlay. Know overlays also
not looking good. So I'll go back for the
lightened color or Linear Dodge. Linen loads is fine
and let's slow down its opacity to
something like this. And drag it on the top, maybe something like this. And see if you want, you can even lower down its
opacity, something like this. And press Control S
to save and then push all of your memories so that you can work faster and smarter.
10. 9 Adding more Realistic Shadow : Now we are working
on the shadows, so we'll make more
realistic shadow. So for that purpose we'll
press Control G or Command J, bring it down and select
the Rasterize Layer, right-clicking and selecting
the Apply Layer Mask. And then we'll press
Control or Command U. Let's turn off all of
these layers, top layers. And press control or command you to open up the hue and
saturation option. And let's bring down
the lightness to something like this
minus 100% press Okay. And then press Control D, command D and bring it back
down all these layers. And before that I need to press Enter and turn on these
layers and then back, select this boy copy,
right-click Control D, and click the center
point and drag it on the legs and click and dragging my video mouse and my distorting it or selecting
distortion distort option. You can adjust a solution. So you need to select,
right-click and select. Let's taught, and
that way you can reposition it to
anywhere you want. So maybe something like this. You can click on any
of these corners. You can see these points and then press Enter and
then go to the Filter. Blur and choose Gaussian Blur and choose the radius of
maybe something like this, where we see the blurry shadows and then we'll press
OK thereafter. We will lower down its
opacity because it's not that looked good and changes
layer blend mode to overlay. Let's try soft light is also looking good and lower
down the opacity to maybe something like
this so that we get the soft shadow
because the light is soft. It's not hard. Had it been hard, then we would have
used higher opacity. You can see the
before and after. Now, this one is looking good. We can even work with
the previous shadows and make sure you save your work because
that's very important.
11. 10 Painting Rim Light in Photoshop : Now let's work more
on the rim light. So we'll zoom in, maybe something like this. And then we'll come over here in the adjustments panel and
create a new Curves Adjustment. And we'll click and drag
from the center and clip it to the boy only and bring
down the highlights as well. And then we'll select
the mask and again with the brush tool
by pressing B, will select the brush tool
with the black color. We'll start painting on the axes that we get
some rim lights. This is how we are
basically trying to match the lighting of the
boy with the background. This is how you can do this. Slowly and carefully,
paint on the answers. And if you somehow painted wrongly or inadvertently
made some mistake, press X to flip the black color
to white and then you can remove it easily so
you don't have to select the Eraser tool
for this purpose. Keep on doing this. On this side as well. Keep on painting and paint little bit on this role as well. That it also gets some
edge light or light. You can create a straight
line by pressing Shift and clicking on one pint and selecting
the other plank. Let's zoom in and make the opacity to 20% and
keep on pending little bit on the outfit and on the face
that it doesn't get dark. You can see, you can even load on its opacity
if you want to. So maybe something
like this which looks natural so you can adjust it
according to your liking. And let's zoom in and
there is a problem. So I need to select the boy and there is a background
which I need to remove. So for that purpose, I will switch back to the
Lasso Tool by pressing L on my keyboard and
create a selection. This is a free hand
tool, so it takes, sometimes it causes
a little bit problem because your hand
doesn't work that way. So you just need to make a selection
or draw on that area. And then using the brush tool. And with the black color, you can paint in to
remove that background. Since we are working
on the boy mosque. Then you can simplify it even further with
the brush tool. Make it, make your
brush very smaller. Zoom in and paint on the area
so that it looks natural. Not like this. It should not be zigzag on this area as well. These things, little things take a little bit time and there
is one more thing, option. One more problem here, so remote that as well by painting black color
with the brush tool. Zoom in. And if I in it.
12. 11 Enhancing Eyes Adding More Eye Catch in Photoshop RMX: Now let's work on the ice. Click over here on
this new layer icon. Zoom in on the eyes. Select the brush tool
with 100% opacity. And with the white color. We're going to paint
the eye catch. Paint the eye catch
something like this. And on the right eye as well. Then change this layer
blend mode to overlay. And you can duplicate it four times by pressing
Control J or Command J. And then you can see
if it is too sharp, go to the filter and select the cause in blood
and blurred out. And create one more copy. And you can see the
left eye is too bright, so we're going to
erase it from here. So we'll select the eraser
tool by pressing E on our keyboard and paint
on this center dot, this dot, so that it
doesn't look that bright. The previous layer as well. So now this one is
looking much better. Now, we will look them together. So for that purpose,
what we'll do, we'll select first
layer and select and press Control G to
group them together. Now, we have got
the eye-catching, the ISIL eyes are now
looking much, much better.
13. 12 Skin Softening in Photoshop : Now let's move out of the
skin for that purpose, we will be using the portraiture plugin
from the mezzo Nomex. First of all, we'll select the top group over
here and we'll press Control Alt Shift E or
Command Option Shift E. And then we'll zoom in on
the face so that we can see. Then it'll go to the
filter Image Genomics and select the portraiture. In this, I am using the
in this default setting. You can zoom in to see
the result and then press OK. And it automatically does
the skin softening for you. And once it is done, you will see now the
skin is much smoother.
14. 13 Sharpening Eyes with Sharpening Photoshop Action in Photoshop RMX: Now let's sharp on
the ice and for that purpose we'll be using
my sharpening action, which you can download
and install it from the exercise files
and come down and select maybe this one or what
all the sharpening. Then. You can press Select the selective sharpening
and press the play button and press Continue. Now you need to paint with the light color
with 10% opacity. Or you can paint a D
50% opacity as well. It makes sure the foreground
color is the fight. Wherever you are going to paint, it is going to make that shopper do download this amazing photo and enter action
Photoshop action. This is absolutely
free with this course. Faint maybe on the hairs as well so that they also
become sharper. That's fine.
15. 14 Adding Vignette Effect & Final Look : You can see now this one
is looking much better. Close this group. And now we're going to add the lenient effect on
this MAs will come down and select this black
and white circle and select the gradient and click
on this gradient option. And choose any of the gradient. Click on this one color and
choose the black color, maybe something like Brown, and bring it down to make it much darker or select
the dark brown color. And then press OK and press New and click on
the second glove and drag it outside the screen to delete it and
thereafter press Okay, change the style to radial. Select the reverse and place the center on
the subject or on the light and see how it looks. Then you can scale it
up a little bit so that you get the gradual effect
and thereafter press Okay. Now you can see we have
much better results, so we'll remove
it from the face. So select the brush tool
with the black color and paint on the subject or the model a little bit on the light so that it
doesn't affect the subject. And you can see the result. And you can turn
this on and off. Now the focuses entirely
on the subject, so that makes it
look much better. And keep on pressing
Control S or Command S to save your work
because it's very important. You never know when
Photoshop may get crashed.
16. 15 Adding Falling Leaves and Basket : Let's add the falling leaves, turn this layer on. You can download it from the exercise files and
place it on the top of it. This is a PNG file, so it will be a
transparent layer. We need to remove the certain
leaves from the face. So first of all, it'll go to the Filter blur and we'll
choose the motion blur. So we'll add some motion
blur so you can angle it to something around
here, 58 or something. And you can increase
the distance with this slider so that we can get or add some
motions in the leaves. Now you can see
we'll select this and select rasterize layer
and click on this mask. I can zoom in. And again, we'll choose
the soft as brush. I think this is fine. You can see it before and after. Alright, so let's
select the brush tool and remove certain
leaves from it. We have to choose the brush tool
softest brush with 100% opacity and
the black color. Let's remove it from this area. From this area as well. Because this should look a
little bit natural if you had the more leaves
that bond look natural. So let me clear my
ramp or the memory. Now let's bring in the basket. You can find it in the download, the exercise in the exercise
files and drag it over here, resize it to
something like this. Place it over here. If you want, you can scale
it by pressing Shift Alt and space and maybe scale
it something like this. There is this pollution, if you like, mini to expand this a little
bit on this site. So first let's read the shadow. Click on a new layer, theatre shadows
layer mask on this. And again with the soft as we are going to paint on
the area so that it gets removed and certainly
start to be visible on this spot so that
it appears that it is actually placed on the lease. You can keep on working on this and you need to zoom out and zoom in back to see whether
it's working properly or not. And if you accidentally
painted on somewhere else, then press X to bring it back. Let's go to the adjustment
layers, which is over here, and create a curves
adjustment from here and drag it down. Maybe something like this. Oops, let me reset it, click in the middle
and drag it outside, inside to make it darker. And let's press Alt or option
and make sure this one is, oops, this one is
clipped to this layer. Now it is affecting
only the basket layer. Let me let me fill it
with the light color. There is a problem. Let's come over here in
the adjustment layer, select a new adjustment
layer and make sure this one is clipped
to the underlying there. Let me see it clearly. And click in the
middle and drag it inside and click on this
clipping mask I can sell that date is going to affect only the basket layer and make it darker,
something like this. Then select this layer and select the black color
with the brush tool. Increase the size
of the brush and start painting on
the top and maybe a little bit on the left side that we get some light
on the NAD site. This area has to be darker. Zoom out to see whether it
is looking good or not. And again, I need to, free of my RAM. I'll select this layer
and we're going to create the shadows under it. I'm going to create
the basket shadows. So again, we'll choose
the brush tool on a new layer which
we have created earlier and with
the black color, 10% opacity, soft air brush, we'll start painting
shadows on this site. Make that area as well. And from the bottom we're going to make it even more darker. As you know that whatever
is placed on that part, the shadow is always dof. And we need to expand this. So I'll press C for
the crop tool and drag it outside to expand our frame, the canvas a little bit so that we can see this part clearly. And now let's zoom in
and you can see there's a sharp as research
we need to fix. I'll select this layer and we'll select the eraser tool by pressing E on our keyboard and paint on this to
remove it from there. Again, we'll choose
the brush tool. Again, soft brush
with the black color, and we'll paint the shadow
again on this area. You can press Control G
to fit it in the view. And if you want, you can load
on its opacity as well to match it with the shadow of
the boy or rest of the sea.
17. 16 Filling Basket with Leaves : Now let's fill this empty
basket would delete. Let's do it. Come down on this layer. And first of all, let me clear my memories. We need to come down on the background layer,
which is over here. You can see we'll
create a duplicate copy of it by pressing
Control J or Command J, and drag it on the top of all the layers and
place it over here. Now we have the background. And then we'll select the
Lasso tool with zoom in. I mean, to make a
selection only on these leaves soil press L
on our keyboard to select the Lasso tool and make some kind of a
selection like this. This one. Press Control J. We can come over here, select this mask and that way we'll be having only the leaves. Right-click and select
Convert to Smart Object. That way this mask
would be applied and we would be left
with only the leaf. You can see now we
have all the leaves. We need to select the
move tool by pressing V and drag it
something like over here and lower downloads
opacity so that we can see the basket that
we can address. Now press Control T and select the wrap to transform
it and click on all of these winds and
make sure it looks like that's something
that these leaves are inside this basket. So we are trying to create
something like this. So you can go for different options were
four scales as well. You can drag scales to drag
them inside so that it gets contracted within
the basket itself. And thereafter, you can select, Wrap and click on any of
these binds and edges to. This process takes
little bit time. So do span a little bit time. Alright? That way
you are going to get the better result and
then press this checkmark. And once we are done, we'll create a new
mask over here and zoom in and lower
down the opacity. Opacity is fine, and we'll
choose the brush tool with black color and 100% opacity. So if it is not one, endorse and make it 100%. And then we need to paint over here to remove
this part because we want only the part which is inside the visible and rest
of the part but not be visible because you
don't want only the leaves inside the basket. This does not look that perfect, so we need to refine the
selection bit by bit. So do take your time to
refine the selection. Something like this. Alright, then bring
these leaves. Place it here. This is a single single live
which is included within the exercise files
and resize it to make it way too smaller,
something like this. And place it inside it, make it even more smaller. Press enter. Now you need to press Alt or
Option with the move tool. Click and drag to
make a copy of it, click and drag to make a coffee. It's very easy. All you need to do, press Alt and click and drag, and then you can rotate them and change their
position by pressing Control Team and moving
on any of the corners. So there has to be some
variations between these leaves. If you keep them off all the same size or off
in the same direction, that wanted to look
natural or good. So our aim is basically to make it somewhat
close to realistic. Won't look realistic, but we have to make it
something like this. Then select all these layers. You can see we have created
a copy of all of these by pressing Shift and
press Control E to merge them together and
press Control J once again to create a
duplicate copy of it and reposition it so that it seems like that This is filled
with these leaves. And then you can
press Control T and flip it to the horizontal so that way the
direction would be changed. And if you want,
you can rotate it or make it smaller,
something like this. So you can scale out and experiment with the
different looks, select both of these and press Control E to
merge them together. Now we got only one layer
of these layers and create a new curves adjustment
and make sure this is, this is flipped to
the underlying layer. So we'll click on
this clip mask. That way it is going to effect. So now we are trying to manipulate the lights
and the shadows. You can play with these skills to get the result you want. Maybe something like
this is looking fine. Then you can zoom out to see or zoom close
and select the mask. Again with the brush tool. Select the brush tool
with the black color and 100% opacity or make
it 30% something like oil paint on this side so
that it shows some light on this site and create
one more blank layer. Using the brush tool
with 10% opacity. Start painting on this side with the black color so that this area becomes
a little darker. Something like this. We need to make it neutral data. Because if something
is fill in the basket, you won't be able
to see it clearly. There has to be a
little bit darker. You can zoom out to see. I think this color is lighter. Let's it is it from here? Okay. My selecting the eraser tool
and select these leaves and reared system and press Alt to make a copy of
these and represent them. So I've created one
more copy by pressing Alt and clicking and
dragging with my mouse. I'm basically creating
a heap of the leaves. So that's how you can
create a heap of leaves.
18. 17 Refining Basket Selection and Final Look : Now let's press control space
and zoom in on this basket. And you can see
over here there is a white as so we
need to remove it. So for that purpose, we'll take the brush tool, make it smaller with
black color will start bending over here by
selecting the mask option. By pressing shift, we can click once over here and
once over here. And that's create a straight
line to remove this area. And similarly, we are going
to remove this area as well. And there is a
problem over here. Remove that as well. And by pressing space
and video mouse, you can done this mouse cursor into the hand tool and zoom out. And then you can reposition
it to anywhere you want. And similarly for
this side as well, we are going to paint with the black color with the
brush tool, softest brush, and make sure the color is
the black so that it gets removed because
we are working on the mask and not on
the image layer. So that's how we are
creating a black mask. And you can zoom out and zoom in to see whether it's
working fine or not, whether it's looking
good or not. And similarly for
this side as well, if you want, you can remove
that as well from this. By pressing control
and video mouse, you can zoom out. Now let's go to the Edit, purge, and purge all the memories so
that we get some free damp. And now we need to
select the top layer, topmost layer,
which is over here. And then we'll go to the
anterior instruments and we'll create a levels
adjustment from here. So this is something like this. And here we will clip it
or leave it as it is, and we'll click and drag the mid tone towards
the darker side to make it little darker and
even on the shadows as well. Then we press
Control I to select this mask to invert the mask. And now with the brush tool, we are going to
paint over here on the leaves so that
it gets darker. And it appears that there is a shadow which is being costed of these leaves inside the
mask with the brush tool, with the white color, we are appending over
here with low opacity. So at the moment
my opacity is 30%. This is how we can create
some kind of shadow. Alright? So keep on
painting on this side. Let the topside week lighter. Selected once again, and
select the red phone and select the click and drag these sliders to add a
little bit redness in the shadows so that it looks good and it
matches with the object. And let's control space to zoom out or you can press
Control Zero to zoom out. And now let's add just a little bit further,
this levels adjustment. This is a mid tone I'm
working on the midtone. Now select the wooden basket
and press Control Shift a to open the camera raw
filter in Photoshop. Then let's change this
temperature and adjust the tint. So let's adjust the
tint towards the, but both sides and temperature
towards the vomer saint. Maybe something like this. And let's existed
even further and, and press Okay, and let's
see how it looks now. Now select this Falling
Leaves and select the mask, and let's remove certain
leads from this area. Will using the VR, using the brush tool
with the black color. And this is again,
the software's brush. And we are going to remove certain leaves because
too much leaves, it doesn't look good here. That's what I'm doing. So paint over that and
it's going to be removed. Now let's zoom in on the shoes and select
the levels adjustment, which is on the top which
we have earlier created. This is the level of
adjustment and we'll select the mask and again
with the brush tool, with the black color
or the white color. Let's switch it to the white
color and start bending on this area so that this area
also gets even more darker. Little bit on the site. And press Control Zero to fit it in the view and you
can see how it looks. And don't forget to
save your work by pressing Control S or Command S. And regularly,
otherwise, you never know when Photoshop
make it crashed. And now let's create
one more adjustments by clicking on this circle icon. And it will open up
this menu and select the gradient option
or from here. And click on this
and press Okay, so this is, um, basically black and white gradient and I've chosen the
style as radial and then scale it even further
so that it gets just spread all over unless changes layer
blend mode to overlay. All right, let's see how
it looks after that. Yes, now, the focus
is on the child. So let's select
the mask and using the brush tool with
the black color, start painting on
the center or on the child so that it
doesn't effect this alien. Now you can see it
looks much better. And go to the Adjustments layer, create one mole, goes
adjustment from here. And let me expand it. Place it over here. Okay. I'll create, select
the red color channel from here and click on the highlights and
drag this point little bit towards
the left side. And from the bottom as well, we'll drag it up so it adds little bit of red in the image. Then let's try the green channel and click and drag it up. Let's drag it down, I think, and drag it down would
look much better. That would give it fall color. But if you don't want that
red and drag it upside. And similarly for
the highlights, let's play with these settings. And this goes, which looks good. Let's try the blue channel
and similarly add. Let's try to add or let's
subtract from the highlight. And similarly for the
shadows on the corner we have the shadows and on the top we have the highlights. And in the middle we
have the mid-tone. So you can play with these goals until
you like the result. I think. Let's see which one looks good. All right, I'll
leave it over here. And you can turn this on
and off to see the result, how it looks before and after. We have applied this
curves adjustment. Now, select all these by pressing Shift press Control
G to group them together. And press Control S
to save your work. And this is our completion. Now it looks much amazing. Let me put some memories and press F on your screen
to make it full screen. And this is our final result. I hope you liked this result and if you
