Gerald Cafferty Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Hi Michael thanks for the challenge. Started in LR, levelled horizon along top of blue building. In LR basic adjustments then transferred to PS Elements. Back to LR and cropped along top edge of blue building. Opened this crop in Elements, aligned this on the top of main image as seen in finished pic. Flattened both and then cropped to finished result. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn McCreery Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 This morning I was walking the dog and photographing pelicans on the opposite coast in Santa Barbara, so I decided to change the sky to what I photographed this morning. I flood selected the sky in Affinity Photo, selected the inverse, and pasted the result on a suitable sky with clouds image. Then I flattened layers, cloned out background buildings, added the pelicans from this morning's photos, and cropped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRCrowe Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 In Lightroom +Clarity, Dehaze, Vibrance, Saturation. In photoshop created new blank document, outlined crude fin outline using polygonal lasso tool, filled with blue gray color, used blending mode emboss to give 3d look, dragged fin image onto Michaels and used a layer mask to eliminate background around fin, flattened image and used clone tool to smooth edges of fin. Played Jaws soundtrack while doing all this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffOwen Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I very much liked your idea Gerald to cut out the centre that I had to have a go myself. I also liked Bill's enhancements so I have combined the two and added back the large tree as it caused a shadow in the sea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 Since the cityscape occupies most of the frame, I started in PSE15 by cropping out about 2/3rds of the water, followed by using levels to adjust the tonalities. I then converted the image to b&w in Silver Efex, and made additional tonal adjustments and sharpened using that program. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
