Now, add ‘leaves.psd’ and place at the top of the scene. To give

more depth to the image, apply a Gaussian Blur (Filter>Blur>

Gaussian Blur) set to 15px. Duplicate it (Cmd/Ctrl+J) and place at the

bottom of the scene, as in the image above.

Add ‘butterfly.psd’ and place it on the grass. To change its

colour, link a Hue/Saturation adjustment layer (step 2)

and set to 197, 53, 0. Add the ‘butterfly.psd’ again, place it under

the leaf on the bottom and apply a 10px Gaussian Blur filter.

Add Layer_01 from ‘smoke.psd’, change the blend mode to Screen

and place it in the middle of the scene. Then, add Layer_02 from

the same photo, place it at the bottom of the scene and change the blend

mode to Screen.

Let’s use different adjustment layers for both sides.

Create a layer group with mask (step 10) and for the left

side, use Brightness/Contrast (0, 20), Levels (19, 1.00, 255), Photo

Filter (Warming 85) and Colour Lookup (3Strip.look). For the right

side, add Levels (7, 1.00, 255), Brightness/Contrast (15, 16), Photo

Filter (Warming 85) and Colour Lookup (3Strip.look).
