Sovereighn Lady of Umbrellas Photo Effects

This task we'll learn to make corrections on a model's figure, change her coiffure, create the wooden shoes, show the reflection in the water and also change the colors of the picture, add the texture and represent the rays.

First we need to open in a new window the picture of a girl, dressed in the oriental style: File – Open (ctrl+o)



Copy the layer to be easier to work with it: Layer – Duplicate Layer (ctrl+j). The previous layer should be deleted by clicking the Delete Layer on the Layers window. Choose after that the Polygonal Lasso Tool to accentuate the background the girl is situated on, and then erase the background (by the way the hair should be marked out entirely). Erase the markings after that: Select – Deselect (ctrl+d)



Select the Crop Tool now and increase the working place we will be working on. Open in a new window (ctrl+o) the scenery we want to make the background out of it.



Mark it out with Rectangular Marquee Tool, make a copy of it: Edit – Copy (ctrl+c) and get back to the initial file, insert it on a new layer: Edit – Paste (ctrl+v). Move it under the girl's layer. If that is necessary we may change the background's size or the girl's size with Edit – Free Transform (ctrl+t) bu holding also the shift button for even change. Rotate the girl's image horizontally: Edit – Transform – Flip Horizontal.



Create a new layer (Layer – New - Layer) and place it lower than all the layers. Then choose the Gradient Tool. Copy the sky's color from that place it becomes detached. Select the Eyedropper Tool and increase its area.



Merge down both these layers: Layer – Merge Down (ctrl+e) and choose the Patch Tool after that to delete the easy visible line between the sky and the painting (marking the sky's edged place and moving it on a single nuance's place).



Them mark out and erase the hell on the girl's boots and stretch the girl's image vertically a little: Edit – Free Transform (ctrl+t). Select then the Turbulence Tool in the Filter – Liquify (shift+ctrl+x) window and make her look slender (be attentive not to distort the lines). Change the girl's shoes size and the shape. But also change the size of the instrument we work with, depending on the operation we do at the moment: the big shapes should be corrected with a big brush, the smaller ones – with a small size brush.



Create now a new layer under the girl's layer and represent on it the shoes' sole, having the same shape as the old Chinese shoes. Paint the new drawn figure in any color you want choosing the Paint Bucket Tool.



Erase the markings (ctrl+d) and insert on a new layer above the previous one, the wooden texture, like the next one:



Group out both these layers with Layer – Create Clipping Mask (ctrl+g) and place the wooden' texture on the shoes' sole (ctrl+t). Merge down the grouped layers: Layer – Merge Down (ctrl+e). Give some volume to the soles. First we need to distort the texture, applying Filter – Distort – Shear.



Use the Burn Tool to add the necessary shadows.
