Photoshop layers /multilayering

Today we have a look at the layers, how to work with multilayering technique in photoshop.

The first thing is to pick the images what we want to blend into each picture to work with them.

The first thing I did was to modify the images. Started with the levels to create a darker image.

 Darken the blacks in the curves mode.

 Used black and white to create a more moody picture.

Selected with the ecliptic tool and inverted the selection in the select menu. I did that to darken the edges

Adjust the feather higher.

Once it is done just flatten the image. Select the move tool by pressing V. Grab this image to copy on the main image.

Now we use the previous image as a layer. Pressing the ctrl+T you can adjust the size of your layer. Don't forget to press the little chain icon to keep the measures.

Applying the layer mask and using the brush tool by pressing B. I've changed my brush to create a dry brush effect. Just brushed around the stones with a low opacity. After all just changed the screen mode of the layer for 'screen'.

 Added another layer with the same technique before.

Change the screen mode of the layer to overlay or screen.

And here is the final image with the layers blent into each other with a bit of brushing.
