    On My Road - Surreal Photo Manipulation

    In this tutorial I will show you how to create a surreal photo manipulation called "On My Road". We'll go through manipulating techniques, using brush, masking, blending, working with lighting.. and more.

    Resources:
    (Update 2014 for the link of starry sky, you can use my stock instead).
     
    1. Create a new document and fill it with white ( or any colors you like).  Open road stock. Cut out the road and field and move into our document, resize and place it as shown below:
     
    I add some adjustment layers to change road color. Go to Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Curves:
     
     
    Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Hue/Saturation:
     
    2. Create a new layer and hit G to active Gradient Tool. Choose Linear Gradient with color #024c9e and #b2d7f7. Drag a line from top to bottom to get result like this:
     
     
    Add layer mask for this layer and use soft black brush with big size to clear the part covering the road:

     
    3. Open sky stock. Copy this part, place it into our canvas and resize to fit:
     
     
     
    Add layer mask and remove rough edges of this sky part:
     
     
    To change color of this sky to be fit the rest, I use and adjustment layer with Clipping Mask. Go to Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Curves:
     
     
     
    4. Create a new layer on the top. Set foreground to white and use cloud brushes to paint on horizon. You can choose any brush you like and here is my result:
     
     
    I want to darken sky and cloud part so I make a new layer, use soft brush with color #658ab2 painting over it. Set the mode to Multiply 40%:
     
     
     
    5. Extract the man and position him on the road, resize him to be much smaller:
     
     
    Make a new layer under man one. Hold the Cmd/Ctrl and click man layer to load him selection.
     
     
     
    Fill this selection with black and then go to Edit-Transform-Flip Vertical. Move this shadow and transform it ( use Cmd/Ctrl+T) to get the look below:
     
     
    Lower opacity to 50%, apply Gassian Blur with 2 px ( Filter-Blur-Gassian Blur) and use layer mask to blur the top of shadow ( brush with opacity about 50%):
     
     
    6. I use a Curves layer with Clipping Mask to reduce brightness and change a bit of man color:
     
     
    Make a new layer (Clipping Mask) and use brush with color #b6c3c2. Paint over model back, head, shoulders and arms to reduce brightness there. Set the mode to Multiply 80%. 
     
     
    We'll add some light for man by Layer Style. Right click man layer, choose Blending Options:
     
     
     
    7. Drag starry sky stock into our main document and place it onto sky part:
     
     
    Change the mode to Screen 100% and use layer mask to remove stars on cloud part:
     
     
    8. Create some new layers and use space brushes, number 597 to paint some falling stars from the upper left of sky:
     
     
    9. Open planet stock pack. Choose the one you like and move into our picture. I transform and place it on the top center of sky and call it "planet 1":
     
     
    Change the mode to Screen 100% and use layer mask to erase outside part of this planet:
     
     
    Take some other planets and place them on two sides of sky and put the mode as Screen 100%:
     
     
    For the planets in the center and right side I add a Color Balance layer ( Clipping Mask): 
     
     
    For the planet on the left side I use a Hue/Saturation layer ( Clipping Mask):
     
     
     
    10. Create a new layer on the top and choose Radial Gradient with default color ( black and white):
     
     
    Change the mode to Soft Light 70% and use layer mask and soft black brush to remove the top part of sky:
     
     
    11. Make some adjustment layers on the top.
     
    Layer-New Adjustment Layer-Gradient Map:  
     
     
    Change the mode of this Gradient Map layer to Soft Light 100%.
     
    Color Balance
     
     
    Photo Filter   
     
     
    Layer-New Fill Layer-Solid Color:
     
     
    Change the mode of this fill layer to Color 10%. 
    This is result we have:
     
     
    12. Make a new layer and use soft brush with color #776e5d painting over road and field. Change the mode to Multiply 100%:
     
     
    New layer and I use soft white brush to paint on the top of the road which meets horizon. Put the mode as Soft Light 100%. Erase the part on the man with layer mask:
     
     
    New layer again, take soft brush with color #949696. Paint on two sides of sky to darken them. Set the mode as Multiply mode 100%:
     
     
    13. Create a new layer and use Gradient Tool to make light focus better:
     
     
    Change the mode to Soft Light 100% and add layer mask to remove or reduce contrast as shown below:
     
     
    I add a Levels layer to increase contrast a bit:
     
     
    Use brush on the mask of Levels layer to remove dark contrast on the road, field, two sides of sky and the bottom of the planet in the center:
     
     
    Final Result:
