Step2: Now insert the tree image into your document as shown




Step3: By selecting the tree layer go to channels, duplicate the blue channel and then press Ctrl+L to modify the levels. Apply setting as shown.

Step4: Now move to next step, press Ctrl+I to invert the black with white, then press Ctrl+click on the Blue copy channel thumbnail to select it.



Step5: Now click on the RGB channel in the channels menu, and with your selection still active click on the layers and add layer mask to tree layer as



Magically our tree is masked!!
To make a smooth selection applying a gaussian blur to the mask layer.
Go to Filter->blur->Gaussian blur and set as



Step6: Staying on the layer mask of the tree layer, pick up a big black brush, set the hardness to 90% and erase the parts you don't want.



Step7: Now the tree is ready. Right click on the layer mask -> apply layer mask. You can save this as a brush and as a shape! A tree can always be useful in the future.



Step8: Now its time to use other source file. First open bridge image.You can adjust its size on your document by pressing Ctrl+T. Cut it in same way in we cut the tree, read step 2 to 8.
