In this next video lesson, we're going to place the architectural elements. And those things would be windows, doors, crown molding, base molding, anything that's an architectural element within your home. So to do that, I've saved some images again to my Pinterest board. The first image I want to use is the window. So you can just google windows, and I'm using a black window frame, so modern farmhouse look, but you can use any style window that you'd like to use given the space that you're going to create. So if we just right click and save this image to our desktop, we can then bring it into Photoshop by going to open so you can see that this image has a few things that are obstructing it from working while in our view, so I'm only going to select the two windows that do not have the plant in front of them.

I disliked it with the Rectangular Marquee Tool, go up to edit, copy. And then we're going to paste it in our room. And again, it creates a new layer but unfortunately that layer is hidden behind our walls, I need to drag it up to the top so that it comes in the forefront. I'm just going to drag the right corner to make it a little bit bigger. Okay, so now we need to get rid of this white wall that was found in the image. So if we go to the magic one tool and select that white and then just hit delete, like get rid of that ball.

So now we have two windows. We center that window to the left and we can also Copy the window to the right, by using the Rectangular Marquee Tool highlighting it, making sure we're on layer four because that's what we want to copy. If you were to stay on layer one, it would copy that walk. So we want to be on there for edit, copy, Edit, Paste, and then go back to your select shift and you can move it over so that outlines so now we have three windows that appear to be the right scale within our drive. I'm going to show you a trick if your windows do not come with a background outdoor seeing that make it look more realistic. So I'm going to go back to my layer five which is the single window, I'm going to use the magic one tool.

I'm going to delete this scene within most windows. I'm gonna go back to my Pinterest board. I've saved an outdoor scene, which if you just Google scenery, outdoors, trees will find an image similar to this. And again, we're going to save this to our desktop. And we're going to bring that image in. By using the Select Rectangular Marquee Tool, we're just going to highlight a portion of this that we want to go behind our window and then edit, copy, go back to our room rendering it paste.

Now we have an outdoor scene. So this image needs to go underneath our layer five so that it's hidden behind the mullions and then we're just going to drag it. Click ok. You can see it slightly big for this windows. I just need to adjust the size a little bit And then it seems like it's a little Stark like it's a little The background is a little too prominent within the room. So we are going to adjust that layer. If you go up to opacity.

Just Reduce the opacity of that layer, you'll get a more subtle outdoor scene. So there you have how you can adjust the windows and the windows scenes.
