In today’s tutorial, we will create a sleepy Japanese village in Photoshop by combining several stock photos. Let’s get started! Tutorial Assets The following resources were used during the production of this tutorial. Step 1 Start by opening the Kanazawa Samurai Houses in Photoshop. Since this image will only be used on the web, I suggest you set the screen resolution to 72 dpi. Step 2 Now, using the Lasso Tool (L) along with the Polygonal Lasso Tool, trace the contour of the house's and the alley wall's roofs, keeping the two street lamps as well. Once your selection is done, invert it (Shift + Cmd/Ctrl + I or Select > Inverse) and with your "Plate" layer selected, click the Add Layer Mask button.

I bought my image from iStockPhoto - here's the item (Note if you download the sample PSD file from Psdtuts+ Plus, the image has a watermark over it, so you'll need to purchase it and swap it in). Step One: Create a new Solid Color Adjustment layer and fill it with White. Step Two: We are going to use the Pen Tool (P) to trace all of the basic structural elements of the image. With the Pen Tool selected, simply click anywhere you would like to start then continue to click and drag to trace the part you are working on with the path.
