Welcome to this new project demonstration.
We're going to be creating this abstract photo composite of this eye with the Galaxy inside the eye.
Pretty cool right.
All right.
So we have all of our assets ready here an art board too.
You'd also download it all from the project see folder.
All right.
So this should be a little bit quicker and easier one than the previous couple projects just because
it's a little bit simpler.
And I'm gonna go through this a little bit faster because I know you're getting more confident and you're
better at photoshop now too.
So we're gonna move where I am just a little bit.
Just something like that then we're going to turn on our galaxy we're going to move it over our eye.
We're gonna turn down the opacity like 50 or something and we're gonna try to get into a spot that looks
pretty good going across that Iris and the pupil.
Something like that's gonna look pretty cool and then we just have to make this selection.
So there's lots of different ways we can make a selection for the shape of the eye.
Probably the easiest one is taking our Quick Selection Tool.
We're gonna drag over.
I like that.
We're gonna select that white bit as well and make sure you have your eye layer selected when you're
doing this.
And then we're gonna click select and mask.
We're gonna super really feather this out quite a bit and smooth it out.
We want it to have a smooth round edge and actually quite a bit of feathering just so it kind of blends
in so that looks pretty good.
We're just going to use this as a selection at this point click Okay.
And then we're going to select our galaxy layer and click our layer mask button.
And what that does is it actually creates a layer mask out of the selection that we just had.
So we increase our opacity we can now play with our blend modes.
So what we're looking at doing is something we think linear Dodge is kind of cool for this one screen.
One of these lighten ones we might just start with linear dog.
That one looks pretty fantastical.
Pretty cool.
All right.
The next thing we have are.
This is the Stardust texture and so I'm going to rotate this to the right.
We're going to increase the size of it.
Put it down like this and we're gonna change our blend mode.
I think it's one of these dark in ones or me the contrast ones something like overlay looks pretty good.
I want it to be at the bottom and the top of this screen so we could just move it down like this or
we can add a layer mask and erase part of this Serena set our opacity to 100 percent woops make that
black and paint over it like so so now it's just kind of like this bottom part I'm going to duplicate
this layer just drop it in a new layer right there and rotate it 180 degrees just so you can see what
I just did.
Zoom out just a little bit.
Rotate one hundred and eighty degrees and then bump it up just a little bit.
So now this is kind of creating a little vignette of that bouquet texture kind of a starry texture.
Gonna go back in here to our layer mask and erase the bottom of this layer.
Cool huh.
All right.
So we're getting there we're getting there are the next thing I want to do is add some color to this.
So let's add a photo filter so if we just add a photo filter with the adjustment brush or button down
there let's choose one of these cooling ones really pump up that density.
You could also pick a specific color me I want saying a little bit darker
something like That's pretty good.
You can see that in this one though it's a lot different and that's because we're not just adding a
photo filter right here we are adding a vignette.
Now I haven't shown you this but this is a quick way to create sort of a nice vignette go and create
a solid color with this new item adjustment layer button.
We're gonna make it black.
We're gonna put this on top of everything except for our photo filter.
And now in the layer mass we're going to make our brash super big.
Something like this.
And make sure it's super soft as well.
And we're just gonna brush out in the middle
something like that.
And that creates kind of a natural vignette.
Now comparing it to this art board here it still isn't as blue as I want so I could go to my cut killing
filter here crank that up as much as possible.
We can also change the blend mode to see if that helps.
Or just choosing one of these other cooling filters.
Let's see what blend mode does one of those darkens might look actually pretty cool multiply and then
drop our opacity just a little bit.
So a little bit of a different color set of colors but I like it.
Now I notice this little detail that I had this moon which is in your photos.
Been add this to this layer or to our art board over here
and we're just going to place this in the pupil of our eye.
So let's just change our blend mode just so we can see what's going on.
One of these lightning lighten ones will work for now and we can just put it and since the image the
rest of them is just black actually just leaving this as a light in is going to work.
We can see what screen does.
Yes green might be a little bit better.
So it's just these little details that make a project better.
So a little bit different than our original one not quite as blue but I actually like it a little bit
more like this the blue over here is a little intense.
So that's how I would recreate this and I can't wait to see what you're going to do with this.
Thanks so much for watching and enjoy this.
And tag me on social media when you post this Cheers.
