Ctrl/Cmd-click on the  thumbnail of the “knight” layer to select it. Then create a new layer  and fill the selection with black. Hit Ctrl/Cmd + D to deselect. Name this layer “shadow”, right-click on it and select Convert to  Smart Object. Then go to Edit > Free Transform (Ctrl/Cmd + T), hold  down the Ctrl/Cmd key and modify the transformation box as you see in  the image below. Add a 2px gaussian blur (Filter > Blur > Gaussian  Blur) to this layer and set its opacity to 35%. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/221.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/221.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 23 Download this photo and open it in Photoshop. Use the <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/tutorials/create-epic-battle-field-photoshop#" target="_blank">Pen Tool</a> (P) to separate the horse rider from the background and then move him into your first document using the <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/tutorials/create-epic-battle-field-photoshop#" target="_blank">Move Tool</a> (V). Name this layer “horse rider”. Then go to Edit > Free Transform (Ctrl/Cmd + T) and change the size of this layer. Hit Ctrl/Cmd + G to put this layer inside a group and name it “horse rider” as well. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/231.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/231.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 24 Select the <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/tutorials/create-epic-battle-field-photoshop#" target="_blank">Burn Tool</a>  and use the settings from the following image to make some areas of the  horse rider darker. Then hold down the Alt/Option key to switch to the <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/tutorials/create-epic-battle-field-photoshop#" target="_blank">Dodge Tool</a> and make some area of the horse rider brighter. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/241.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/241.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 25 Add a mask to the “horse rider” layer and use a black soft brush to erase the bottom area of the horse’s legs. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/251.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/251.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 26 Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Color Balance, tick the  “Use Previous Layer to Create Clipping Mask” option and use the settings  from the following image. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/261.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/261.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 27 Add a shadow to the horse rider using the same process that you used for the knight. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/271.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/271.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 28 Now all we need to do is add some color adjustment layers to make the  image stand out. You can experiment with these adjustment layers by  yourself, or you can use the exact same ones that I used. You can add the adjustment layers from the menu (Layer > New  Adjustment Layer) or by clicking on the ‘Create new fill or adjustment  layer’ button from the bottom of the Layers panel (the  half-black-half-white circle). Create a new group (Layer > New > Group) and name it  “adjustments”. Then go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Gradient  Map and use the settings from the following image. To create the  gradient I used the colors #2288ae and #dcb620. Set the blend mode of  this layer to Overlay 10%. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/281.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/281.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 29 Add a new Selective Color adjustment layer and se the settings from the following image. Set the opacity of this layer to 60%. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/291.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/291.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Step 30 Add a new Gradient Map adjustment layer and use the settings from the  following image. Set the blend mode of this layer to Soft Light 60%. To  create the gradient I used the colors #320958 and #eeb814. <a href="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/301.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.grafpedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/301.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> </blockquote>
