Landscape Project Step by Step Process

Landscape Project Steps

This step-by-step process will explain and show exactly how I created my Landscape image.

1.     First apply a colored (fading) radient to the background layer.

2.     Import cloud image and adjust its brightness to make it more visible.

3.     Import aerial land image and adjust the exposure, making it darker so it wont be overwhelming when a filter is later applied on top of the image.

4.     Import dock image and adjust the Hue/Saturation to manipulate the color.

5.     Import two dog images add drop shadows to them and readjust the size and placement of both the original images and their respective drop shadows.

6.     Import Phone Booth image, adjust the Hue/Saturation and then use the pen tool to cut out images within the Phone Booth that are not reflective of the layers underneath.

7.     Import bubbly water image.

8.     Select the entire portrait and adjust the color balance to amplify the color of our choice, which will then enhance the images visual impact.

9.     Import Eiffel Tower image. Use the erase tool to cut off the unneeded portion of the image. Use the smudge tool to smudge and blend the bottom of the image to give it a disappearing effect.

10.  Select the cloud image and adjust its vibrance again to amplify the color of the respective image enhancing its visual impact.

11.  Finally import the image of a couple and apply a drop shadow.
