Well i'm okay at photoshop, i'm not pro. I want to see how you would fix up this otherwise "bad" photo. I'm posting my take on it right below. What i did was make selections in a new layer one for the beach and trees, the other for the sky. I put color on the new layers and blended them into the original layer. Adjusted curves and channels.

I played around a little in Lightroom and this is what I came up with.

Thanks Marko!


Asnow: Good work as well! You took out the horrible grayness in the picture.

Good job Richard. Got some nice hard light in both pictures.

Hi folks,

Here's my attempt using LightZone, where I added local contrast, bumped up the "Vibrance" to 40, and sharpened. Hope you like it.

Figured I might take a moment to tackle this one also.

I didn't do too much other than straighten, duplicate layers and apply a blur then blend together and adjust levels and colour. A bit limited with this small res version.
