Laurie, yours is by far the closest to the effect that I'm looking for so far... I gotta learn how to use that history thingie! :-P
cpanaioti and BradP, Both of ya kinda lost that mistiness that is the most intrigueing part of the shot.
I'm eagerly anticipating bearmusics final edit if he can get his vision of my shot to work...
Thanks again to all who've given it a shot. It's amazing what you can do with a single image...
Laurie, I haven't played with the gothic glow much, did you change the opacity? Can you adjust the settings? My old ass computer doesn't like to run photoshop with many other things open...

The history brush is easy...as long as you are in another layer and you haven't cropped before using it, just click the history brush, set your opacity, and brush away whatever you did on the layer you're working in to reveal what was underneath.
For the gothic glow, it creates a new copy of the image automatically. I use the rectangular marquis tool, select the entire image, copy it, then paste it on top of the original image (it will still be there, to see it, minimize the window that the gothic glow copy was made in). When you paste it, it automatically creates a new layer, so you can then adjust the opacity to your liking.
Have fun!! Glad I could help! :)

The advice given by DPCers has improved greatly over time. laurielblack's advice is gold. The history brush is one of the most underrated tools there is. Keep it in your everyday arsenal of commonly used tools.
Have to say that I like BradP's solution as well. Probably something between the two is what most folks would like best that maintains the "mistyness" of the scene.

The main problem with mist is that it fools the light meter so the image usually turns out under exposed. In mine I was just playing on that and obviously went a little too far with the increase in exposure.

If you notice my version is quite similar to nshapiro's, because I used his version, and tried to create more depth with the woods behind the house. I like it very much, hopefully I can get the thumbnail up.
Well poop scoops, I dont know how ya'll do that.
Anyway, I created two different layers with the woods behind the house. I lightened one, and darkened the other, So it looked like the mist was darker between the two. Then I added a gradient from the bottom up cloning the darkest color availabe on the photo. Like I said though I used Shapiro's sepia version, because I liked it alot. |
