Before start: Download the image from here

Step 1: Create a cloud


Create a new document in Adobe photoshop cc (I will use 1920x1080px).  Then change the background colour and foreground colour according to grass tone that you want. Goto Filter > Render > Clouds (in the menu bar, top of the window) You will notice that the layer fills with a cloud texture.


Step 2: Adding Filters

But it too smooth.to add some noise goto Filter > Noise > Add Noise. Then set amount as ‘30’ and distribution set as ‘Uniform’.


Now it’s a little noisy but not look like the grass. So I’m going to adding a couple of filters. Goto Filter > Filter Gallery. Now filter gallery filter will open. select the 'Texture' tab under the 'Texture' tab. Adjust it as below.



Then add the 'Grain' filter. To add another filter, click on the page icon bottom of the filter gallery window.

Adjust it as below.


You notice that some dark spots are remaining. To get rid it uses the Spot healing brush tool. Select the Spot Healing Brush Tool from the toolbar, left side of the window (Is it not there?  Go to Edit > Toolbar, then find the tool from the popup window and add it to the toolbar). then draw over the dark spots.

To further shape up the grass, goto Filter > Stylize > Wind. In here select method as ‘Stagger’ and select the direction either left or right side.



You notice that now grass leaves appear. But its heads for the same direction. To randomize the grass leaves follow these steps, goto Filter > Distort > Wave and variables set as below.



Goto Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur. Radius set as 0.3px

. 


Goto Filter > Distort > Ripple. Amount set as 60%.



Step 3: Appling to an Image

Now we going to apply this created texture to an image. Goto File > Open and open a suitable image (I will put the link of this image top of the page). It will open in a new document. Then drag the created texture into the opened image. To enter the free transformation, select the grass texture layer and press Ctrl + T. now move the mouse pointer over a free transformation box corner, hold Ctrl key and drag the corner.


In the layer panel, Unlock the opened image layer (click on small lock icon). Bring it to top (select the layer and press Ctrl + ]). Select the Ball with ‘Quick selection tool’ or other selection tools (Elliptical Marquee Tool).


Add a vector mask as visible only the ball.



Open a new layer to show the shadow of the ball. Select the brush tool and adjust the pointer as below. Set the opacity of the layer as 85%.



Add adjustment layers (select the layer goto Image >  Adjustments). Adjust the brightness and contrast as below.


To add the lens focus effect, goto Filter > Blur Gallery > Tilt-Shift.
