Ever since I saw heida's photo's, I've been obsessed with the way she would make her colors come out.
I don't remember if I read this technique here or on another forum but as soon as I learned how to do it, I just couldn't contain myself.
So, I desperatly looked for a cloudy sky after work to test the technique and that was the only one I could find...
Girlfriend says I should crop out the threes at the bottom because they're too dark but if I do so, it just doesn't seem to work...
What do you guys think?
Sorry for not putting a thumbnail but I ain't a full member yet and don't know how to code for that when the image is hosted somewhere else... |

I'm not nuts about the rest of the picture, but you've definitely created a "Heidistic" sky! Cool editing.

| Same here. The sky looks good but it looks like to much contrast in the building and trees. Maybe work with two layers or a mask for the sky? |

Thanks for the comments. :)
I'm not too fond of the bottom part of the pic either... I mean, it's the end of the gas station's parking lot next to work... LOL
I'll try and work something out to at least make the trees green. |

Well, I don't know if she does does it that way but it seems to get similar results.
First, download and install virtualPhotographer.
1. Open image in PS or other program supported by vP.
2. Duplicate background layer.
3. Make the duplicate layer black and white using whatever technique you prefer. (I use the gradient map tool to transfer color to B&W)
4. Launch the virtualPhotographer plug-in and run the Anvil preset.
5. Switch the blending mode to "Multiply" on the filtered image and play with layer opacity until desired effect is reached.
That's how I did it... Have fun!
