COLOR BALANCE

Shortcut #8: To finish my image, I color-graded it using

a Color Balance adjustment layer. In the Properties panel,

I added Blue and Magenta to the Midtones, Yellow and

Cyan to the Highlights, and a little bit of Blue and Red to

the Shadows. Here’s the result.

The sky’s the limit when creating a composite image. You

can add as many elements as you wish. You just have to be

creative. With the techniques and shortcuts I showed you

in this part, and Part 1 and Part 2, you can easily create a

magical world. n
