work in progress

This is sort of a WWYD that never ends. There are so many threads, so I appologize if this may have been done before.

The rule is simple, just "photoshop" one element as you see fit and tell us how you did it and what software you used to do it with. Only use the last edited edition of the photo, not the original. For better results, please be sure to post the pictures as a link to your flickr or other sites.

Oh Yeah, and HAVE FUN!

Fun game



Original Size

Thought it looked like it could use a sunset because of the colours in the grass.

What I did:

Used a sunset off of one of my photos to add.
1. Copied just the clouds part of the photo and duplicated it (once for the sky, once for the water)
2. Flipped the water reflection upside down since that would mirror the sky.
3. Flipped the direction of the clouds because of the direction of the sunset here versus there (the sun would've been in the left side of my photo, but it's on the right here). Did that on the sky and water layers.
4. Masked the layers using "Select Color Range" and selected the sky and water.
5. Set both layers to "Multiply"
6. Refined the edges of the mask a little (though not 100% successfully in some of the areas by the trees)

fun and challenging...



original size

i wanted to throw what i hoped to look like golden rays of setting sun hitting the three foreground trees......i did several layers of daubs of light golden hues.....set each layer at either overlay or soft light blending modes......adjusted the opacities to suit....oh!,,,,,,and on the very top layer, i put a highpass copy of the background layer so i wouldn't lose all the details under the paint daubs.....

Just one thing



On Gimp,filters "light and shadow" choose lighting effect, move to centre over the "sun"

i want to add something to the picture but douglas copy does not allow me to copy it

[douglas]

Gwenie...I don't know what happened. Try, R click on the picture and save image as..."whatever"onto your desk top. I think you shoul then be able to load it into gimp or photoshop etc. Try it and if it doesn't work please let me know. Or failing that ignore my picture and work on the previous Douglas

[GwenieThePooh]
