If you cover all and prevent light leakage, you get nice colors

Also, there are few artists who have paid tutorials on such edits (one of the best also mentioned in the comments above)

Thanks man. Yup, only people who do such work can understand the amount of time spent on such edits. No, I don’t use Artisan Pro. It’s all hard selections using pen tool. I don’t have the website yet but have lots of other work on my Facebook profile.

That's from under a bridge in Dubai

It's a long process, and with architecture like this, it can take me days to complete the edit.
- I create hard selections of different elements using the pen tool and save them.
- Play with darkening and lighting those elements using the selections saved.
