step 7 of 14

First the ornamental porch photo is moved into background photo. It was cut out with lasso tool and will not be chopped and scaled down to fit. The distort tool will be used also to make it fit straight across since it is at an angle.

step 8 of 14

Chopping of rails and flowers finished here by using closeup tool and small eraser tool to take out bricks and let source wall show through. Finished balcony with flowers then will be duplicated and flipped vertically to be placed at bottom of scene as a reflection. (opacity down 50% for relection)

Bay window has been lassoed and set into place above the balcony just finished. It has to now be scaled to size to fit the area.

step 10 of 14

Now the blue shuttered window is chopped for left side wall. Using distort tool, it can be adjusted to fit the wall. Flowers will have to be cloned into windows since they will look flat after using the distort tool. This same section must be duplicated and fit into rest of the wall in the same way.

step 11 of 14

Dimensional edges are added to shutters with brush tool. Since they are now being seen from side angle, they need edges drawn in. Flowers which flattened with the distort step will be cloned from those lassoed and brought in. I cloned them on the same layer as the lassoed piece, then erased the lassoed section after cloning, just leaving the flowers I had cloned into window box.

step 12 of 14

Here the wall section just added (with blue shutters) is duplicated, flipped vertically, then fit into area where relection would be on the street.

step 13 of 14

My apologies, but I skipped the step where I put the timbered wall and window in the wall under the balcony. After lassoing the area needed, it was scaled and fit into area where needed, then with cloning tool the wall created matching the timber and plaster look. A duplicated version is then flipped vertically and placed on street where reflection would hit.

Finally, lady with umbrella is added along with reflection on street. Bicycle is added after chopping, and plants on balconies above. Then rain layer and brown filter finish it off.
