Step 1

First off create a new blank document (Ctrl+N) with size of 2000 pixels wide and 2424 pixels high.

---

Take gradient tool in the tool panel and choose linear gradient. We will fill the blank document with gradient color. Make sure to set the foreground color to #151723 and the background to #423e43. Fill the document by hold-clicking and dragging the tool from the top to bottom of the document.

---

Step 2

Next place the fenestra image in the document.

---

Activate the free transform tool (Ctrl+T) to scale the image up. Position it in such way that the window of it becomes the main part of the background.

---

Step 3

Proceed to alter the color of the wall. We will do this by just simply duplicating the original image four times. Set the original image to multiply blending at 100% opacity, the first duplicate to screen blending at 20% opacity and the other three duplicates to soft light blending at 100% opacity. Finally select all the layers and hit Ctrl+G to put them in a folder. I named this folder wall.

---

Here is what we will have:

---

Select the original layer within the folder and give it a layer mask. Take a very soft round brush to mask the upper part of this image as indicated by the red color in the screenshot.

---

Proceed to select the first duplicate layer and give it a layer mask as well. With soft round brush, mask area around the lower part of the window.

---

Here is the result should be:

---

Step 4

Open the raven image and extract it from its background.

---

Add the raven to the main document. Scale its size and place it on the chair.

---

With the raven layer still selected, go to layer > new adjustment layers > hue/saturation. Make sure to give this hue/saturation layer a clipping mask by checking ‘Use The Previous Layer To Create A Clipping Mask’ in the new layer option box.

---

Here is the value of the hue/saturation should be set. Select the raven and hue/saturation layer and put them in a folder. I named this folder raven.
