There are only a few steps used in making a surreal landscape like this, but that doesn’t mean that it’s fast and easy! I spent more time on this piece than on many that have far more steps. Take you time and play around…it’ll be worth it!

  1. Open your original image in Photoshop and size it as desired.
  2. Make a copy layer of your image to fool with.
  3. Go to Image –> Adjustments –> Invert
  4. Add a curves adjustment layer and go to town!
  5. Adjust lightness, saturation, and contrast to suit.
  6. Use the Multiply blending mode for your adjustment layer.
  7. Crop a portion of the landscape that pleases you.
