› › HOW TO

Step 20: Deactivate the selection

with Select>Deselect. Click on the

Rubble 2 layer and press Com-

mand-V (PC: Ctrl-V) to paste the

copied pixels as a new layer. Use the

same Hue/Saturation adjustment to

colorize this layer. Now we have

debris that matches the same color

and texture as the statue. Make

as many copies of this layer and

transform at will to create as much

falling debris as you’d like. Use the

Eraser tool (E) to remove any debris

that seems out of place.

Step 21: Add a new layer named “Dust” under the lowermost Rubble layer, just

above the Background layer. Grab the Brush tool (B) and open the Brushes panel

(Window >Brushes). Scroll down to the Special Effects Brushes set, and select the

first of the Kyle’s Spatter Brushes. Use the Option (PC: Alt) key to sample a light

color from the statues. Then paint in some dust using this spatter brush. This

brush tip can be somewhat erratic, so use the Eraser tool to remove stray dust

particles that may have gone awry.
