BRING IN<br />

BRANCHES<br />

Drag in tree.jpg and<br />

change the Blend Mode<br />

to Soft Light, then<br />

Transform (Ctrl/Cmd+T)<br />

and move it so the<br />

branches come in from<br />

the edges. As with the<br />

hyena layer, add a Layer<br />

Mask and paint with<br />

black to hide the areas<br />

you don’t want to include<br />

in the composite.<br />

FINAL TOUCHES<br />

With the merged<br />

layer highlighted, go<br />

to Filter > Camera Raw<br />

Filter. You’ll use this to<br />

make some final tonal<br />

adjustments. Begin<br />

in the Camera Raw<br />

Basic panel. Tweak the<br />

Temperature and Tint,<br />

then adjust the Contrast<br />

and Clarity using the<br />

settings shown. When<br />

you’re happy, click OK.<br />

MIX THE STARS<br />

Drag in stars.jpg. In<br />

the Layers panel, move<br />

it to the top of the layer<br />

stack (or press Cmd/<br />

Ctrl+Shift+] ). Change the<br />

Blend Mode of the stars<br />

layer to Overlay to blend<br />

the bright highlights<br />

and add contrast to the<br />

overall image. Next press<br />

Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Alt+E to<br />

merge a copy of all the<br />

current layers.
