What Would You Do (#49)

[snapdragon]

Here is my play with this one . I upped the contrast & cpoped & did an old photo effect with soft border .

[charliere]

My version



- Copy all to new layer
- Use free transform to change the direction of the image
- Add mask for the vagons and change the color with hue
- Create a layer for change the color of somethings with blending to color
- Flatern the image and adjust with curves... litlle like cross process
- ready

and the big one

[Firemaine]

Used a lot of layers of Hue/Saturation, Brightness/Contrast and Levels
Added clouds to give more smoke.
Used 3 masking layers to bring out more colors and sharpness.

This still didnt work so I cloned the tops of the trees with the sky above it. Then I did a gardient blue layer to give it the blue sky and a slight vingette for taste.

Thanks for offering to explain it to me again. Here are my biggest questions:
1. I'm still not sure what an hdr version would be, or how you would create one.
2. Why would you create lighter versions? Would that give you more depth on layers or something?

And I can never get the cloning tool in CS3 to do what I want it to.

I'm so bad at this, I stopped ruining my shots with PP until I learn something, or get photoshop...so her your's go
I just lightened it a little added a little lighting effect- to give it a "train from another world look, then i desaturated it a good bit, and added a motion blur-which also gives the bystander a ghostly appearance.

Well, you started the spookiness

whoa! How did you do that- with the steam thing?

[BeardyWeirdy]

thanks - I gave a rough method on page two. basically it is is a matter of making a few layers of smoke and blending them in. I used GIMP is it is of any interest
