lay and drop the layer Opacity to around 85%. Press Command-E<br />
(PC: Ctrl-E) to merge the HDR layer into the Background layer.<br />
Step Ten: Use the Green copy channel in this document to make<br />
a selection of the subject again, and then copy it to a new layer.<br />
We’ve hidden the Background layer here so you can see the<br />
extracted subject.<br />
Step Eleven: Create a new document (File>New) for the final<br />
design measuring 600x800 pixels. Go back to the subject image,<br />
and using the Move tool, drag the extracted image to the new<br />
document. Press Command-T (PC: Ctrl-T) to enter Free Transform,<br />
hold the Shift key, and drag a corner handle to scale<br />
the subject in the composition as you see here. Click-and-drag<br />
inside the bounding box to reposition the subject. Press Enter<br />
when done.<br />
Step Ten<br />
Step Twelve: Here<br />
we have a texture that<br />
we’ll add to the background.<br />
You can use<br />
this texture that’s part<br />
of the exercise download,<br />
or you can use a texture of your own. I like this one because<br />
it has a framing element inside. To keep good detail in the texture<br />
while removing the color, set the Toolbox colors to their defaults<br />
by pressing D. Then, go to Image>Adjustments>Gradient Map,<br />
and click OK.<br />

Step Thirteen: Using the Move tool and holding the Shift key,<br />
drag this image into the new document and then use Free Transform<br />
to scale the image to fit in the composition. Also, make<br />
sure the texture layer is positioned below the subject layer in the<br />
Layers panel.<br />
