I've been playing around with OnOne's "Perfect Mask". One of the things that can be done is to replace a blah sky with a more interesting sky. I have a large file of "sky" images from just blue to lottsa clouds. What I don't have is a storm-threatening sky. We don't tend to have those skies here in Florida. We have storms, but not those black clouds that look so ominous. Our sky tends to just get gray all over instead of the black clouds. There are downloadable skies, but I wonder if a user-taken sky photograph can be made ominous and threatening in Photoshop. How would you go about this in Photoshop? While I haven't tried it, here is a link to some tutorials on creating lightning with PS. http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photo-effects/lightning/ -- PeterN |

However, I haven't had the need to go the fake lightning route. ;-) I think Tony is looking for the dark and foreboding look rather than the "I shouldn't be out here holding a golf club" look. -- Regards, Savageduck |

I just put it out there. I have not tried the fake lightning effect, either. I go through phases in my photography. My current trend is pure nature, with as little PS as possible, and pure abstractions of photos. -- PeterN |

I'm not yet into abstracts, but I'm not above a little processing gimmickery: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gu624v5km0...3-11-05-35.jpg (Shrimp boat in Apalachicola FL at night) Nice! I like it. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Nice clean lines. forming an interesting pattern. I did some street yesterday, but have not downloaded anything. If I get anything halfway decent, I will post. -- PeterN |
