Another Spur for the Wallpaper

Greetings, I'm working my way to get an ideal wallpaper concerning my subject. (Quite difficult, my friends use vector graphics as they said far more easy, even the experienced one)

Open an image file concern of my subject.

 I prefer to duplicate the image layer then save the file before begin my work.

 Then I begin to place another image layer, pressing 'File' and 'Place...'

 Choose an image I want and open it.

 Shrink or enlarge. I shrink the placed image and free transforming the image by pressing 'Ctrl' when clicking and holding the corner of the image.







Then if you want to place the file, switch to another tool and a warning windows come up. Be sure of your image position before clicking 'Place'.

 Move the placed layer to the back of the 'Background copy' layer so the 'Backgroung copy' layer get priority as main background.

Then the result as seen: 

I'm not done with 'Placing' yet so I choose two more image and repeat the step as above.

 Then I add a layer mask by clicking the'Add layer mask' button at the 'Background copy' layer

Then I begin my masking by choosing 'Brush tool'. I selected my color and diameter and hardness.

 Next I roughly paint out the part I want.

I start to repair and refine by cleaning up the 'rough sketch'.

Ta-da, that's that.

Well, I keep some saving files just like you recommended, that is one of my saving point.

 Ahhah, next I switch to 'Sponge tool'. You know choose my diameter then to blur paint the rest of my pictures out.

Another save point









Up next is 'Burn tool'.
Well I need to rasterise the layer I want to burn.

 I burn the loving and caring two woman and girl to become more blend to the less light background.

Ya, at the end 'Type tool' to add the title 'Memories of Boryeong Mud Festival'. 

 EHHH, what doyou think, is that good enough or bad enough?
