Wallpaper in Process 4

Going to do the typography and finalize everything including adjustments.

Close the Lions layer. I move the lantern layer down with the "Move Tool" because I want to write some words on the top .

Go to the "Type Tool" and click on it. 

Type the wordings on the top of the wallpaper. The type layer will automatically open for you.

Go to "Colour picker" then select the colour I want which is the Yellow for the words.

Right hand click on the Type layer then click the Blending options.

Here I use "Outer Glow" for the Words on the top.

I finished doing the "Outer Glow" and I get the wordings as I want it to be.

Then, I use "Adjustments" on "Curve" to change brightness the left lion.

The "Curves" window will appear. Then you can adjust it anyway you like. Then click OK.

Now I place the Chinese character in the middle of the wallpaper.

Go to "Magic Wand tool" and selected the Chinese character which I need.

Right-hand click on the selected area. Then click on Layer via Copy.

A new layer will be formed. Close the main Chinese character layer so you just get the character and avoid the background.

I delete the background of the character leaving the character. I rename the layer to Chinese character now. I use the adjustment curves again but this time I just change the "Red channel". Then click OK.

I want to add special effects to the Chinese character so I right hand click on it's layer open the Blending Options.

I use "Outer Glow" and change the Gradient Editor taking purple colour.

Here is the outer glow as you can see.

I even added Drop Shadow. You can see the shadow behind the Chinese character.

Here I retouched the lion color using "Adjustment, Curves" as you can see it's darker now.

I did the same thing for the Second Lion (right one).

Since the Outer Glow before this is brighter, I made it less glowing now.

I also change a bit of the glow on the word, "Happy Chinese New Year".

Finally, finished....
