Step 1
Begin by creating a 1000 x 550 px document. Create a new group called “BG”. Inside this new group, create a new layer called “Tile BG” and fill with a medium brown color.Step 2
Set your Background Color to white and add the Tiles filter (Filter > Stylize > Tiles) with the following settings:Step 3
Use the Paint Bucket tool to fill the white with a light gray color. (Repeat the Fill several times). To add some color variation to the tiles, select the square brush and set its size to the same size of the tiles (in this case, it is roughly 108 px). Use this brush to Dodge and Burn individual tiles.Step 4
Keep going until you are happy with the variation in the tiles. Next, go to Filter > Noise > Add Noise and set the amount to 12%, Distribution to Gaussian, and check the Monochromatic box. Next, add a Gaussian Blur of 1.4 pxStep 5
Now that we have a good sampling of some tiles, we can start to build the back two walls. To do this, we need to resize and reposition the tiles. Copy and paste this layer as you see fit to fill in the back wall. Transform one of the layer copies to resemble a side wall as shown below. Before we continue, we can merge the extra layers back into one layer named "Tile BG." (For the sake of this tutorial I am merging into one layer, however, you can also merge to a new layer if you prefer).Step 6
Create a new layer called “Shadow 1″ and use a dark brown color and a large brush tool with 0% hardness to add some shadows in the corner. Set the Blending Mode to Multiply and the Opacity to53%. Add a second layer called “Shadow 2″ and paint in some more shadows toward the bottom. Set this layer’s Blending Mode to Multiply and Opacity to 74%.
Step 7
We want to get a nice depth of field effect, so we need to blur this back wall. To do this, select the “Tile BG” layer and give it a Gaussian Blur of 7.0 px. For added detail, create a new layer called “Sunlight” and use white to paint in some areas of direct sunlight on the side wall. Give this layer a Gaussian blur of 20 pixels and set its Blending Mode to Overlay and its Opacity to 90%.Step 8
Now it’s time to add a counter top to our image. Create a new layer called "Table Top" and fill with a brownish-gray color. Open up the Layer Style and add a Gradient Overlay and Pattern Overlay as shown below. In order to properly edit this layer in the next step, we will need to merge the Layer Styles to the layer. Do this by right clicking on the Effects sub-layer and selecting Create Layers. This will expand the Layer Style on to their own layers. We can now merge (Cmd/Ctrl + E) these layers.Step 9
Now that the “Table Top” layers have been merged, we can Transform (Cmd/Ctrl + T) this layer into perspective to resemble the counter top.Step 10
We want to make the counter appear out of focus towards the back. To do this, we are going to use smart filters. Start by converting this layer for smart filters (Filter > Convert for Smart Filters). Now you can add a Gaussian Blur (set to 6.1px) and it will appear as an editable layer. We will complete the effect in the next step.Step 11
When the Gaussian Blur Smart Filter was added, it also added a mask for the filter. Select this mask and with your foreground and background colors set to black and white, add a gradient to hide the effect as it gets closer to the foreground.Step 12
The counter looks a little too blurry—we can easily change this since we’re using smart filters. Double click the Gaussian Blur effect to open the properties and change the Radius to 4.4 px. We are now done with the background!Step 13
To start the cutting board, create a new group called “Cutting Board” and add a new layer called “Board” inside it. Position this above the “BG” GroupStep 14
Use the pen tool to create the shape of a cutting board. It may help to turn on the grid. Fill this with a tan color.Step 15
To add a texture to the cutting board, start by setting your foreground and background colors to a light and dark tan (such as #CCAA7B and #A07349). Next, go to Filter > Render > Fibers and set the Variance to 8.0 and the Strength to 12.0. You can click “Randomize” until you have a good texture. When you’re done, Transform (Cmd/Ctrl + T) this into perspective.Step 16
Copy the “Board” layer and rename it “Board Shadow.” Postion this layer below the original. Now, move the “Board Shadow” down on your canvas and adjust the Levels (Cmd/Ctrl + L) to make it darker.Step 17
Create a new layer called “Board Side” and place it in between the two existing layers. Use a brush tool with a similar tan color to paint in the rest of the board as shown:Step 18
Create a new layer called “Grain” and position it as shown. Use the Rectangular Marquee Tool to create a long rectangle filled with a light tan color. Add Fibers (Filter > Render > Fibers) to this layer, just like we did in step 15.Step 19
Transform (Cmd/Ctrl + T) the “Grain” Layer to cover the entire side of the cutting board, making the grain run parallel to the side. Make this layer a clipping layer by Alt + Clicking in between the “Grain” and “Board Side” layers.Step 20
Use Liquify (Filter > Liquify) on the “Grain” layer to add some realistic distortions (the Forward Warp Tool works best). You can also add some grain to the small area of the cutting board we haven’t touched yet.Step 21
Use the Dodge and Burn Tools to add highlights and lowlights to the cutting board. It will be necessary to dodge and burn the “Board” and “Grain” layers separately.Step 22
The cutting board appears to be floating. In order to ground it, we need to work on the shadows. Select the “Board Shadow” layer and make two extra copies.Select the top “Board Shadow” layer and give it a Motion Blur (Filter > Blur > Motion Blur) with an Angle set to -67 degrees and a Distance of 6 px.
Select the second shadow layer and make this shadow black (you can use Levels to do this). Give this layer a Motion Blur (Angle: 0 degrees; Distance: 40 px) and a Gaussian Blur (Radius: 5.0 px).
Select the thirds shadow layer and give this layer a Motion Blur (Angle: 0 degrees; Distance: 40 px) and another Motion Blur (Angle: 90 degrees; Distance: 7 px). Set the Blending Mode on all three layers to Multiply and you’re done.
