Spring Planks Wallpaper

The new topic we'll learn to make the corrections on the distorts, imitate a cut out ornament on the wood and color out decolorized surfaces already.

Create a new file of standard size wallpapers: File – New (ctrl+n).



Open in a new window the picture of wooden planks: File – Open (ctrl+o).



Mark them out, applying the Rectangular Marquee Tool and make a copy of them: Edit – Copy (ctrl+c). Get back to the wallpapers' file and insert the copy on a new layer: Edit – Paste (ctrl+v). Now we have to make the corrections on the picture's size, selecting the next option: Edit – Free Transform (ctrl+t). As we may see the planks are distorted a little that is why we have to apply the next command: Edit – Transform – Distort to make even the planks' edges on the picture's corners.



Decolorize this layer, selecting next combination: Image – Apply Image, choosing the most in contrast Channel.



Using the next filter's option, Filter – Distort – Pinch, move off the present effect of "fish's eye", I mean some of the planks' roundedness on their central part.



Create now a new layer: Layer – New – Layer and choose the Custom Shape Tool and by pressing the shift button we may insert several ornaments. Finally change the layer's Blending Mode on Multiply.



We want to create the effect of having cut out ornaments on the planks' surface which is why we have to add the shadows, applying next selection: Layer- Layer Style – Inner Shadow.
