Butterfly Photo Editing - Part1
This task we'll learn how to accentuate the front plan and to change the photo's color, add more intensity and put over different textures.
Open photo with butterfly: File ? Open?
Crop it out from the right side a little, using Crop Tool. Blur out the things behind the window, using Blur Tool to accentuate our attention on the butterfly.
Make the shadows look grey, using Image ? Adjustments ? Curves (ctrl+m)
Copy the layer now (Layer ? Duplicate Layer) and blur it out with Filter ? Blur ? Gaussian Blur.
Change a little the color, using Image ? Adjustments ? Color Balance (ctrl+b)
Increase the layer's brightness and the contrast with Image ? Abjustment ? Curves (ctrl+m)
Change the layer's type on Soft Light.
Place the wall's texture on a new layer. Open it in a new file. Mark it out with Rectangular Marquee Tool and copy it: Edit ? Copy (ctrl+c). Get back to the photo's file that is processed and place it on a new layer: Edit ? Paste (ctrl+v).
Increase the brightness and the contrast applying the next command: Image - Adjustment ? Curves (ctrl+m).

Butterfly Photo Editing - Part2
Open the textile's texture having an Indian design on a new layer.
Correct its size using Edit ? Free Transform (ctrl+t), depending on that if we need a large design or a small one. Increase the texture's brightness and contrast.
Cut out arbitrary a hole in the center, using Polygonal Lasso Tool. Change the layer's type on Multiply and merge it with the wall's texture, applying the command Layer ? Merge Down (ctrl+e).
Change the new layer's type on Multiply also.
To make the color look more intensive, copy the layer: Layer ? Duplicate Layer and merge the new layer that we've got with the previous one: Layer ? Merge Down (ctrl+e). Merge also the layers representing the butterflies.
Merge the texture's layer with the butterfly's layer now: Layer ? Merge Down (ctrl+e) and make a definitive color correction, applying the next commands: Image - Abjustment ? Curves (ctrl+m) and Image - Abjustment ? Selective color.
