Images Used The following images were used in making this tutorial:
Boot Photo
Wood Texture
Bird Photo (Wings)
Step 1 Open up a new document (600X600px) and create a new layer called ‘gradient background’. Select the radial gradient tool and apply a gradient ranging from 493B24 to 000000.

Step 2 Now paste in a photo of a wooden texture onto a new top layer, and called this layer ‘wood texture’. Then change the layer blend mode to ‘soft light’ and reduce the layer opacity to 65%.

Step 4 Now paste in a photo of an old boot. I cut out this image from it’s original background using the lasso tool, but you may prefer to use the pen tool.

After pasting in my boot image I resized and rotated it to fit nicely in my canvas.

Step 5 Now go to image>adjustments>levels and apply the settings shown below. This should give your boot image far more intensity.
I also chose to increase the opacity of my ‘wood texture’ layer to 100% as this fitted better with my more intense boot.
