Changing scenery


A change of scenery is sometimes a good idea, if only to see things from a different perspective!
Here's a part of a forest in Scotland which was taken on holiday last year and this is what I did with it (Background layer at bottom of stack) -

Copy 2 lighten 28
Sunset sky difference 100
red circular gradient difference 34
Copy 1 screen 92
Background photo

Increased saturation after merging

Hope you are all having a good weekend!

  1. Love the way you have changed the perspective but I think I prefer to walk through the first forest Jackie in Surrey, UK. ☺

  6. I've just started doing Kim Klassen's mini-ecourse online to start learning photoshop elements. I hope some day your recipes for these awesome techniques will make sense to me. As always AWESOME! Do you ever have your images printed and framed or how about printed on canvas? You have some real masterpieces!

  11. Thanks for the info ... I have Elements 6 but not PSP. I have tried one of Kim's mini-courses but I think I need to take one of the more detailed ones. Plus ... you seem to have a real gift for this.
