i have photoshop cs3Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It depends on the photograph!. One easy thing you might try to use the Levels command or create a levels adjustment layer!. you use the sliders on the bottom of the control to change the highlights and shadows of you picture, you want pure white in only the smallest part of the highlights and pure blank in the smallest part of the shadow!. Use auto-levels to get the idea but it will be better when you learn to do it on your own!. Another easy skill is learning to use the crop tool to use only the part of the photo you want, this way your subject won't get lost and the composition will be pleasing!. Post your pictures and people will be glad to give you advice!. Experiment with photoshop and take the tutorials under the help menu!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Edit -> Adjustments -> Auto Levels In the same place, Auto Contrast Create a new layer Use a big soft airbrush at 10% opacity In the sky where you gave your 'wanted structure' picture, there are some different colours Use whatever colours you want, brush those colours onto that new layer!. Make SURE that the effect is subtle--you don't see many changes!. Set the layer mode to 'Color'!. Make another new layer, and with it selected, on your keyboard press Ctrl + Alt + Shift + E (hold them down, press in that order) Still with that layer selected, go to filter -> Gaussian Blur and slide the slider to about 0!.8% blur (make sure to check the 'preview' box) Click OK Now that the layer has been blurred, desaturate it Set the layer mode to either hard glow, multiply, or screen!. Those will give you a soft glowing effect, but not overly obnoxious!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The thing you must keep in mind is that Photoshop is a powerful tool, and can do a lot of great things!. However, if you do not start out with a decent photo with potential, there is really no saving it in photoshop!. Photographers do not go out on a shoot thinking, "Who cares what I do in the picture taking process, I will photoshop them and make them look great!." No, no, no!. You have to have a good quality image with proper exposure, oh and yes and eye catching composition and subject matter is PERFECT too!!
