Hi, all!! Using PS7.0
OK, here’s the deal: I have a photo that is basically an old abandoned house (peeling white paint, some brick reds) sitting at the edge of a pasture (summer green and some browns), right next to a huge, sprawling tree (dark green leaves, dark bark). The background is a slightly hazy sky (white-ish) with sky blue more prominent on the right-side, from the middle out…
Now, I’ve let the sky and haze go for now, just so I could get the house, leaves, and grass adjusted how I’d like to see it. So the next step: I want to punch up the blue in the sky a bit, just so the left side (with the more prominent haze) looks more like a real sky than a white blanket!
I’ve tried creating a Color adjustment layer (setting the blue to the tone that I want), set the layer effect, and erased the foreground where I could on the adj layer to get rid of the effect on the foreground. However, I’m having one helluva time getting the tree to cooperate! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! 🙂
Here’s the current image, before I started tweaking the sky: http://www.diamondmill.com/images/experiment.jpg (371K)
Thanks for any suggestions!
