This video is all about #BennysSpookyEditWar2021 and no #Halloween can be complete without the epic #Photoshop challenge hosted by the exceptional @BennyProductions
This year I decided to think out of the box and do something creative with the limited stock images. And, I would definitely like to mention my biggest inspiration - the one and only @PhaseRunner His winning entry from the last year made me realise the endless possibilities lie far beyond the stock images. It only depends on one's imagination and how he or she uses the tools at his or her disposal to create something epic. So fully inspired I tried creating something big and daring. I hope you will like it.
This Photoshop composition took more than thirty hours to complete. So, although I am not able to explain all the steps in fine detail, I will give helpful tips along the way on the various topics like - placement and perspective, aerial depth, texturing, clipping and masking, highlights, rain effects and so on. So, be sure to watch the entire video and let me know in the comments if you found them helpful.
Also, do let me know your thoughts about the artwork in the comments section. I would love to hear your views. And as always - Enjoy Creating!
Final artwork is at: 3840px X 2160px 300dpi
Total time taken: 30+ hours

![How to Change UI Colors in Photoshop | Make EPIC Photoshop Interface Colors!
In this video, Ill show you how to change UI colors in Photoshop, and make epic Photoshop interface colors!
It has been now quite sometime that I have been searching for how to change user interface colors in Photoshop, and I found this awesome thread in Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/photoshop/comments/ioz86v/how_to_get_different_colors_in_the_ui/
A big thanks to u/CreeDorofl for finding it, and thanks to u/CraX for posting it!
▶ Below are the STEPS you can follow. You can also DOWNLOAD all files here - https://bit.ly/encreate_yt_27
1.
Go to your Photoshop installation folder.
C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop 202xRequired (for Windows)
~/Adobe Photoshop 202x.app/Contents/Required (for Mac)
or, wherever your installation folder is.
2.
Find the UIColors.txt file and create a backup of it.
3.
Search rgb color picker in Google and select your favorite color.
Preferably, choose a darker shade to go with all themes and texts.
Copy the RGB color code [RRR, GGG, BBB]
4.
Place it in a temporary text file and add the fourth opacity parameter:
[RRR, GGG, BBB, 1.0]
5.
Then open UIColors.txt file, and look for the below attributes.
WidgetButtonStroke = Widget buttons outline
WidgetButtonFillPressed = Selected widget buttons
WidgetPillStrokeFocused = Widget buttons outline on hovering
WidgetScrollbarArrows = Small arrows in the corner of the scrollbars
WidgetScrollbarElevatorFill = All Scrollbar
RulerText = Numbers on the ruler
ScrollingListSelectedDefault = Selected layers
6.
Replace the color values in the grid with the value you created in STEP: 4.
Make sure you are replacing color values for all four themes, or at least for the theme you are using.
From top to bottom row, the four rows represent the PS themes as - Light Gray, Medium Gray, Dark Gray, Very Dark Gray.
7.
Save the file.
If it required admin access, and gives you any such prompt, provide permission and save it.
8.
Restart Photoshop for the changes to take effect.
Enjoy!
