Butterfly Wallpaper Design

A pretty popular thing this effect is. Requires knowledge of basic photoshop.

Create a new layer having 1024×768 px and 72 dpi. Select now the Rectangle Tool (U) to represent the background for the picture to be next.

The new layer must be painted in white color by using the Paint Bucket Tool (G). Click after that on the next option on this layer:

Press three times on Ctrl+F. Press on the Add a Mask on the layers, Fill 50%, Blending Mode - Soft Light. The Gradient Tool will be helpful to dark out the lowest part of the picture.

Choose the Brush Tool (B) and represent the grass on a new layer (press the right button on the picture and selectCreate Butterfly Wallpaper Design in Photoshop CS)

Select two colors for the brush: CCDC4A and 7FB51B from the left panel, the way it is demonstrated in the next picture. Applying smooth motions, we have to represent the hills covered with the grass.

    This is a great example of a bad tutorial. I followed exactly as it says and right from the outset my clouds looked nothing like the picture. I then added the grass which also looks different. The grass pictured looks much brighter and also looks like it has a gradient overlay of some sort not mentioned.
    When I got to the step that says ‘Applying the previous instrument (the brush ) represent now the train made of butterflies.’ I gave up. This is not even correct english. If you are going to teach people learn english first.
