Fig. 13 With the magic wand and “select-> color range” I can cut both pairs of wings neatly and attach them to the back. The second pair of wings that only appears like a shadow is just a copy of the front pair. Meanwhile, I have taken a larger step in the background. As the figure has been completely cut out of the background, I may place it onto any photograph. The floor texture e.g. consists of a photograph of a wall whose perspective I distorted with “edit -> free transform”:
Fig.14 Here I give you a view of the layer inspector, which is quite busy with 28 layers. When you do extensive composings in Photoshop rather often,you stop naming every single one of them for mere lack of time. In the meantime, I can see the position of each layer fr0m their sequence. However, own names make it clearer. The sky. It consists of two photographs in similarcolors,which I found in my photo archive and simply put behind the whole composition to try them. The selected layer 15 (see Fig. 14) has been applied to the background layer (Fig. 14) with 57 % opacity and the layer effect “screen”: The advantage of the layer effects lies in the possibility to cancel them at any time and to apply them to only one layer. I inserted the floor in a similar way and then adjusted it to the colors of the remaining artwork with “image -> adjustments -> levels”: By the way, the floor level has been erased on the edges towards the middle of the artwork with a large eraser at 50 % pressure.
