Making Of The Haunted House
Filed under Photo Effects

In this tutorial we are going to create a haunted house from the ordinary one and study some matte painting techniques.
Step 1
I use 4 images from SXC: mansion,sky
and two photos with dead trees – first and second.
I’ve found the photos of mountain and birds in my personal photo archive. You can get them here: mountain, first rook, second rook.
Step 2
Open the photo of house. Rotate it so it will get the best look. I mirrored the image (Image – Rotate Canvas – Flip Canvas Horizontal) and then rotated it for 3 degrees clockwise (Image – Rotate Canvas – Arbitrary…)
Cut the house from the surroundings. I used pen tool for the house and the soft round eraser for the grass, trees and bushes.
Step 3
Open the mountain photo. Rotate and resize it considering that there will be mansion standing on it. I rotated the for 5 degrees counterclockwise, cropped it and then placed the layer with house over the mountain like on the picture below.
