PNG layer

[Engine44]

Hi,

In the attached photo, the tower layer is sitting on top of the grasses layer and doesn’t look natural. I thought of the following solution:  On the grasses layer select/save the grass area that is covered by the bottom of the tower.  It will be a new layer.  Delete the tower parts so only the grasses show.  Place the layer onto the main photo and align.  In effect, I am creating a png grass only layer.

Can you suggest other methods that are easier? Thanks.

You could play wth the tower layer blend modes or apply a mask layer and use a soft brush with black colour to paint around the edges to blend in the grass.

Thank you. The PNG idea didn’t work.  I’ll try your mask suggestion.

Hi,

Make a selection of the grass area image and copy then paste to a new layer, drag that new selected layer above the building layer and use a soft eraser brush to remove grass area's you don't want, use the clone brush on the selected copy layer and copy areas of grass to paint growing up the building and hide the base.
