Follow our detailed tutorials and you'll master the art of compositing an icy city in Photoshop to create stunning works of art.

1. Open a picture of a landmark building in Shanghai. I found this one from alpha wallhaven, the picture is quite big. Cut out the building, and then remove the building on the background, leaving only the sky.

2. Drag in the material. This material was found in pexels. This scene seems to be quite famous. I saw many photos that seemed to be taken in this place, but from different angles. Add a mask to hide the top half of the material.

3. Open another material, cut out the long iceberg in the middle and put it into the composite document.

4. The mountain in the material is a little smaller and feels too short. Make a copy and then add a mask. Make the iceberg part taller.

5. Create a layer group for these two iceberg layers, then add a mask to this layer group and brush out some of the city buildings. Just use an ordinary soft-angled brush in PS, lower the opacity, and wipe patiently.

6. Then this building is not harmonious with the scene, and there is no freezing effect. So here we first open a piece of material, then drag it in, set the layer mode to Screen, and cut it into the building. This gives the building a somewhat frozen feel.

7. Then adjust the color of the building and add a black and white adjustment layer. The parameters can be seen in the screenshot.

8. Now I feel that the iceberg is a little dirty and a little gray. Please deal with it. First use a curve to draw a comparison. (Here we are adjusting the iceberg layer group, not the entire document, don’t get me wrong).

9. Add a black and white adjustment layer. See the screenshot for parameters.

10. Now start adjusting the entire composite scene. Create a Curves adjustment layer at the top, set the mode to Soft Light, and remove the grayscale of the image.

11. I feel that the blue in the picture is a bit thicker, so add a black and white layer with an opacity of about 15. This step depends on personal preference. If you want to lower the saturation, you can increase the opacity value.

12. Add a falling snow material. There are many such materials on the Internet, whether they are brushes or picture materials.

13. Finally, add a photo filter. Render the overall color.

The tutorial is basically over here. The next step is to stamp the layer and sharpen it, and type in some text.
