Day and Night

In this lesson we will study to unite some photos which do not concern to each other, in to one beautiful collage. I didn’t photograph, I just found them in the Internet. The basic theme of this collage is Opposite.

Step 1. In the beginning you have to be defined with the size of the canvas. It’s simple – we already know what we want to do. Let’s take the photo of our tone, will cut out accurately, and the size of the canvas we shall make twice more longer on a vertical.
Step 2. Now we insert the picture which was cut out lately. Its place will be from above, and a place of its reflection – from below. We select and copy it on the new layer.

Step 3. We’ll place it from below. Than with any way which is convenient to you, we reflect the picture across, saving the size. If you did everything correctly, so the interval between photos will not exist. They will be reflected symmetrically.

Step 4. We select lower part. By means of the brush with big size (color: #04274d) in the Color Mode, Opacity - 100%, we’ll recolor all selected part. (Do not pass any slightest site!)

Step 5. We use Burn Tool in the Midtones Mode, Opacity - 100% to black out the lower part. We cover all selected area.

Step 6. Let’s correct the dark part of the collage by means of Smudge Tool (brush for which we put Rough Round Bristle, approximately size 150px.) Only some accurate touches, no more.

Step 7. We insert the sky texture for the light part of the collage. We reduce it till the same size, so it would be placed beautifully and evenly.

Step 8. We change the style of layer with the texture for Overlay, Fill: 100%.

Step 9. So we pass to the dark part of the collage. We pick out for it another texture of sky, with darker and threatening clouds. We also change the size on necessary and place it above the layer with the dark part.

Step 10. Now we change the style of the layer with the second texture on Soft Light, Fill: 100%.
