Scene Design 4 - Lost in memory disaster







1. Create a new document with 1400 * 800 as px dimensions and fill the background with black.
2. Load a rust texture on the canvas and apply motion blur on the texture : angle-63 , distance 23.
3. Add following adjustment layers to the texture layer and apply clipping mask on all the adjustments :
    a. black and white ( red 40,yellow 153, green 28,cyan 60,blue 20,magenta 80)
    b/ curves
    c. levels - input ( 0, 1.26,255)
4. Create a new layer and paint some clouds on the canvas using the cloud brush and name the layer as
    clouds.
5. Load a mountain image on the canvas and position and resize it on the left side of the canvas . Add a layer
    mask on the layer to hide the edges and make a smooth transition on the canvas . Also add following
    adjustment layers to the mountain left layer and apply clipping masks on the adjustments:
    a. black and white ( red 40,yellow -80, green 59,cyan 28,blue -1,magenta 80)
    b. levels - input ( 76, 1.79,255)
    c. curves
6. Copy and paste a river image on the canvas near the side of the mountain and name this layer as river .
    Erase the edges using a soft brush. Add following adjustment layers to the river layer and apply clipping
    mask on all the adjustments:
    a. black and white ( red 40,yellow 60, green 40,cyan 60,blue -4,magenta 80)
    b. curves
7. Load another mountain image on the canvas and position and resize it on the right of the canvas. Add a
    layer mask on the layer to hide the edges and make a smooth transition on the canvas. Also add the
    following adjustment layers to the layer and apply clipping mask on the adjustments.
    a. black and white ( red 40,yellow -200, green 2,cyan -25,blue 20,magenta 80)
8. Load a palace image on the canvas and position it on the top of right mountain . Use a soft round brush to
    erase the edges of the palace and add following adjustment layers and add clipping mask to all the
    adjustments :
    a. black and white ( red 80,yellow 153, green 40,cyan 60,blue 20,magenta 80)
    b.curves
9. Create a new layer and apply cloud warp effect on it and place the cloud warp on the mountain right
    layer. Change the blending mode to screen.  Also create another cloud layer .
10.Load an image of bridge on place it between the two mountains and rename the layer as bridge. Place
     this layer below the mountain right layer . Erase the edges of the bridge using a soft eraser. Add following
     adjustment layers to the bridge layer and apply clipping mask to the adjustments:
    a. black and white ( red 40,yellow 117, green 40,cyan 60,blue 20,magenta 80)
    b. curves
11.To create a meteor . select the brush tool and make a single click on the canvas . Go to filter->pixelate-
     >crystallize . Make the cell size around 8.  Go to filter->stylize->wind . Method is wind and direction is
     from left. Press ctrl F to lengthen the tail of the meteor . Use transform tool to tilt the meteor so that it
     looks like its falling from the sky . Make copies of the layer and move them to various locations on the
     canvas . Group all the layers.
12.Add following adjustment layers on top of all the layers to fine tune the effects :
     Color Balance :
      a. tone-shadows , cyan-100 , magenta-0, yellow- -100
         check preserve luminosity
      b. tone- midtones , cyan-100 , magenta-0, yellow- -100
      c. tone- highlights , cyan-57 , magenta-0, yellow- -17
     Vibrance :
      a. vibrance - -11
      b. saturation - -20
     Levels : 0 , 0.66 , 255
