[mabgon]

I to all..this is my thrid post in DPS. I find this site to be the better of it's kind...with constructive critics and a very good place to learn....
I'm presenting two shots....and the second is the result of my first contact with Corel Paint Shop Pro. Didn't finished like i wanted...but the aim was to get a kind of siluet..with sun apearing between the clouds...but it turned a little greenish to much on processing...Opinions suggestions ...welcomed....






thanks to u all...

I played around with it in PS and managed to get a bluer sky...I'll post it if you'd like

Here's my rendition:

What I would do is to use your adjustment layers and play withthe hue and saturation until you get the sky the color and the brightness you desire.
Then if the figure in the front or the land turns colors you dont want, all you have to do is get your paint brush, set your forground color to black and paint away the colors you dont want.
I have used Corel products for many years and am quite familiar with them, so please, if you want help- just ask!

The second version is just too under exposed.

Or, add a blue gradient over the top

I've never tried editing someone else's photo, but I gave this a shot.

Hi I seen your picture and had to see if I could do anything with it... I have Corel paint shop pro 12 .. I used the Graduated blue plugin that comes with the program. You have to mess with the different shades of sky blue... and shit it around some to get it they way you want ... I always duplicate the layers. then work on the duplicated layer. I make that layer darker than what you want . then I duplicate another layer and move it to the top then change the opacity to what i like and then merge them all visible. I am not a pro so there is pry a better way to do this .. But Its what I have figured out ... smile .. I also used a fill flash on her. The reason I put another picture on top and fade is many of my pictures have trees in them and it keeps the trees greener.

Here's my version of a blue sky:

Hello... Thanks for the time on the shot. I realy like the last two..the sky is bluer and very atractive.
But in all of them it losses the sun beams that i wanted, that can be seen in my second shot. Never the less i really like the colors of the last shot. Tahnks to all.
