Make a Curves adjustment layer again and this time increase the brightness on the highlights.ĭue to second Curves adjustment layer, we’ve increased highlights on the lower parts of balcony and I don’t want that. Now reduce the brightness using the following settings : Make a Curves adjustment layer for balcony and set it as Clipping Mask. Use the same color as we used in the previous step and paint the lights on the sky as shown below.Ĭhange the blend mode of this layer to Color Dodge and reduce the opacity to 47%.Īdd a layer mask to Aurora and mask the hard edges using soft round black brush.Ĭhange the blend mode to Overlay and blend the aurora with the existing background.Įxtract the balcony from its background and place it to main document and if needed use the Transform Tool (CTRL + T) to make it fit on the document. To do this, create a new layer and name it ‘sky lights’. We need to paint lights for the sky to make it brighter and shiny. The sky looks dull and darker as it doesn’t have brightness like we see in the moonlight. Set the foreground color to #112d4d and paint the light on the moon.Ĭhange the blend mode to Linear Dodge and reduce the opacity to 52%. Use a soft basic brush to paint glowing lights around the moon.Ĭreate a new layer again and name it ‘moonlight 2’. Set the foreground color to white and activate the Brush Tool (B).
Place the moon to the main document and place it to the left side.Ĭreate a new layer and name it ‘moonlight’.
You need to paint on the layer mask with a soft black brush in order to mask the parts. Add a Layer Mask to stars layer and use the soft black brush to hide the stars from the lower parts. Since the stars appear in the sky then we should hide them from the lower parts. Set the blend of the stars layer to Screen and get rid from the black background.
