Sci-Fi Style Urban City Scene

Tutorial here.

The majority of this tutorial was blending images together and using adjustment layers. I haven't used adjustment layers very much before the last couple tutorials I did. I usually only adjusted colors and other things once I was done with the image, and then those adjustments were applied to the whole image. I learned that I could create a clipping make so that the adjustment layer is only applied to layer below it. A layer mask is automatically created so you can over the parts that you don't want the adjustment layer applied to. This tutorial used a adjustment layers to get half the image a blue-ish color and the other layer is a fiery orange colors. My image came out much darker and way too saturated when following the exact steps in the tutorial, so I adjusted the color and levels to my liking. I also omitted the girl stock image from the tutorial (mostly because the link didn't exist anymore) but I still like how the tutorial turned out. There is a lot of different colors throughout the image that I don't think I could have achieved without using adjustment layers.
