1) Open scatter_before.jpg then press Cmd/Ctrl+J to duplicate the background layer. Grab the Polygonal Lasso tool, then click around the model to make a rough selection. Once the selection is complete, right click inside it and Choose Fill.
2)Go to the Layers panel (Window>Layers). Click the eye icon on the top layer to hide it, then highlight the layer below. Grab the Magic Wand tool from the Tools panel. Use it to select the background. Set Tolerance 10 and check Contiguous in the tool options at the top, then hold down Shift and click around the background until the whole area is selected.
3)Hit Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+I to invert the selection so that the model is selected. Next go to Select>Refine Edge. Use the sliders to improve the selection: check Smart Radius then paint over the model’s hair to increase the area of refinement around this tricky part of the image. choose Output to: New Layer and hit OK.
4)Go to the Layers panel and drag the newly made cut-out layer to the top of the layer stack, then press Cmd/Ctrl+J to duplicate it. Double click the name of the top layer and rename it as ‘scatter’ and the one below as ‘holes’. Reveal the hidden layer we filled in earlier in step 1 using Content Aware Fill, and name this layer ‘behind’
5)Highlight the ‘scatter’ layer at the top. We’ll use the Liquify filter to spread the pixels out to the right. This will form the base for our scatter effect. Go to Filter>Liquify then use the Forward Warp tool to push the pixels outwards. Gradually fill out the side to the right of the model. Hit OK to apply once you think you have enough material to work with.
6)Alt-click the Add layer mask icon in the Layers panel to add a full black mask that hides the scatter layer. Grab the Brush tool and click the Brush Picker in the options, then click the fly-out menu. Choose Load Brushes, then load the ‘Scatter’ brush set supplied. Hit X to set the color to white, then use the brushes to paint on the mask, revealing the scatter layer.
7)Continue to build up the effect. Experiment with the Brush Tip Shape, Shape Dynamics and Scattering controls in the Brush panel to change the characteristics of the brushes. Highlight the ‘holes’ layer, add a layer mask, then grab the Brush tool and paint with black to create gaps and holes, revealing parts of the background below.
8)Highlight the ‘behind’ layer, then go to File>Place and choose scatter_bg. Next Place texture01. In the Layers panel, change the Blend mode to Soft Light. Add a mask, then grab the Gradient tool and hit D. Choose the Radial gradient style and drag from the centre to add a white-to-black gradient. Place texture02 in the same way and paint a mask to hide the edges.
9)Lower the opacity of both texture layers to tone down the effect. Highlight the top texture layer, then create a Solid Color adjustment layer. Select a bright blue colour, then change the Blend mode of the layer to Divide. Finally, Place palm_tree.jpg. Again, use the Soft Light Blend mode to blend the layer, and paint on a layer mask to hide the bottom.
