I love this photo, as well as a couple others that have a solid white/gray with no blue at all, and I really really want to do something with it, but I just can't figure out how to "fix" the sky. What would you do with this? I'm using PS 5.5.

You might try this: White Sky Blues

I could have sworn I posted already. What I said in my post that never took place was do you have any other photos with puffy clouds? Since you have some in the window pasting in some more from another photo should be a snap here. Or do what micknewton suggestion and go with the clean sky look.

The sharp lines of the rock make this an easy one to edit.

This had a white sky - all I did is turn 180 degrees and shoot the storm clouds coming in behind me and then superimpose the two together when I got home. :)

So, did you get the answer you were looking for? :)

Mick-- Just wondering why your image is hidden? Also the beagle rule of 3rds in that other thread is hidden too.

Just simple stupidity on my part. Did you expect anything less? :)

For some reason I was thinking that hiding a pic only prevented others from seeing it in your portfolio, but clicking the thumbnail would allow them to see it. Pretty stupid, eh?

I hid them because I don't want people thinking they're mine by mistake. Anyway, they should be visible now.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

That's actually not all that stupid. That's what your workshop folder is for. Stick them in there and people can't browse them from your portfolio but if you link directly to them, it will work just fine.

Mick, you can thow them in your workshop folder, people will still be able to see and follow your linked thumbnail, but it won't show up in your portfolio collection.

lol MK is faster :P

Thanks guys!

I may be crazy but isn't that the way all folders used to work?

(okay, maybe I'm crazy either way)

05/31/2006 05:52:35 PM · #14
No, I think you're crazy both ways.
