My background image was the forest path, with the sunlit columns masked on top. The Magic Wand and Quick Selection tool were very useful to get precise outlines of the columns and the highlights on the ground. Once selected, the gradient tool created an interesting effect with the leaves shining through the highlights. As with the previous picture I made the colours look brighter and sharper, to really reinforce the sunny surrounding. Again, the title of the image was added as a Vector Smart Object with drop shadow, to match the previous image in simplicity and style. |
