STEP 15: For a final subtle effect, add
a Color Lookup adjustment layer (Lay-
er>New Adjustment Layer>Color Lookup).
In the Properties panel, set the 3DLUT
File to Kodak 5218 Kodak 2383 (by Adobe)
.cube. Then reduce the Opacity of the
adjustment layer to 50%. The benefit
of the Color Lookup adjustment is that
it helps unify the way the colors are
displayed and makes the compositing
more convincing. After that, enjoy your
daydream in a cup!The primary lessons to take away from
this project is how to use multiple layers
to build up an effect, and judiciously apply
them using layer masks as well as overall
group masks. Don’t feel the need to create
everything with just a single layer when
multiple layers provide more control and
achieve a better final effect. n HOW TOPHOTOSHOP USER
