Tutorial Resources

Step 1

Now, let’s start by creating a new image file, go to the Menu bar and click File > New, and then input the following values on their respective fields:

  • Preset: Custom
  • Width: 3000 pixels
  • Height: 3000 pixels
  • Resolution: 300 pixels/inch
  • Color Mode: RGB Color; 8 bit
  • Background Contents: Transparent

step1a

Step 2

Now, we will be creating the sky of our Christmas image. To start, open “dry winter field” by night fate stock. Next activate the Rectangular Marquee Tool by pressing M on your keyboard.

Once activated, create a selection area around the sky as shown below:

step2a

Step 3

After that, activate the Move tool (V) and drag the image by first left-clicking on it and dragging it to our canvas. Once on the canvas, position it as shown below:

step2b

Step 4

Rename the layer to “sky 1″. To rename a layer, simply double-click on the words: “layer 1″ (you can find that on the layer window) to prompt a text box to appear.

step2c

Step 5

Now, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and resize the image as shown below:

step2d

step2e

Step 6

Next, let’s add the second sky. Open “storming sky” by vimark and once open, activate the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M) and create a selection area around the sky of this image. See image below:

step2f

Step 7

Now, activate the Move tool (V) and drag this image to our canvas and put this layer above the “sky 1″ layer. To do that, simply drag this new layer on top of the “sky 1″ layer. Rename this layer to “sky 2″. Position it on the canvas as shown below:

step2g

Now, activate the Transform tool (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and resize this layer as shown below:

The result:

step2i

Step 8

Now, let’s blend these two skies together. To do that, simply change the Blending mode of “sky 2″.

step2j

Change the Blending mode of “sky 2″ to Soft Light and the Opacity, should still be at 100%.

step2k

The result:

step2L

Step 9

Next, we will darken the sky so it wouldn’t look flat. Start by left-clicking on the “sky 2″ layer and then press Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N on your keyboard to create a new layer directly above the selected layer; once the box opens, input “darken 1″ on the name field.

step2m

Step 10
