step 3 of 6

Added a planet to the skyline. I had cut the planet out from the original picture and just pasted it into this skyline. I did used a mask on the planet because else you couldn't see the sea and the boat !

Now the fun part of everything can begin! Adjust every layer so it looks like on big whole! Used brightness/contrast, filters, curves, color balance etc... just the basic things ! Very important though !

step 6 of 6

It looked a bit too surreal, and not the way I wanted to. The layers just didn't seem to be one big whole! So I just kept adjusting things with mostly the basic tools and I ended up with this! Everything now looks like it is one picture and not just different layers pasted over eachother!

I also like the surreal look how it is right now, in fact you can think... could it be real, or not.

So this is it guys, hope you learned from it!
