step 4 of 8
Added the flipped Lunar module "Eagle" and the flag into the image.
sources used for this step:- 1: source 1
step 5 of 8
Added Buzz Aldrin and one of the experiment packages. The image is flipped to match the shadows. The flag on Buzz's backpack is re-flipped.
step 6 of 8
A shadow for Buzz Aldrin was missing in the original NASA image. I lassoed Buzz and transformed it to make a selection. The selection was used to duplicated a layer of the foreground. This layer then was darkened in different ways turning it into a shadow.
step 7 of 8
Most NASA images have a distinct look with crosses of a grid. Added such a grid.
step 8 of 8
Added some blur and noise to the foreground to match the original NASA image.
The final image has some additional curves and lighting
