Dream Effect Part II (Photoshop Tutorial)

This tutorial will help you make your image vivid, like the windows aero bliss wallpaperâ€¦.

Step 1: Open your image. A Scenery or a background with a lot of greenery is important.

Step 2: Duplicate your Background layer (ctrl+J). Change the blend mode in the layers palette for the new layer to Multiply.

Step 3: Bring up the Hue/Saturation dialog box (Ctrl+U) and increase the Saturation to around 70%

Step 4: Then add a layer Mask (Layer > Add Layer Mask > Reveal all). Then go to Image > Apply Image. Put the following settings:
*img98.echo.cx/img98/2575/bliss32at.jpg

Step 5: Then select the background layer and go to Image > Adjustements > Shadow/Highlights. Increase the shadow to about 50%

Step 6: Now, making sure your background layer is selected, go to Layer > New adjustment layer> Hue/Saturation. Click OK for the next dialog box.

Increase your Saturation to get the desired effect (about 40% for me)

Your layer arrangement should be:

My final:
