as already someone replied, at sunset and sunrise the sky colors are wonderful. You might achieve nice results also by using a polarizer (if you can attach it to your camera): it really makes the difference If you want to artificially change the colors, I think the best way to do it, is to do it in a selective manner: 1) duplicate the layer of the original photo 2) change the color of the duplicate layer by using the color balance tool to reach the sky tonality you want (don't pay attention to want happens to the rest of the photo) 3) apply a layer mask to the modified layer (hiding all the modified layer) 4) select a brush with proper dimensions and draw with it over the layer mask: this will reveal the modified layer. If you draw only over the sky region, you will obtain the sky with your colors, while keeping the rest of the image with original colors. You can play with different brushes and different brush settings (I found the opacity setting very useful) and see how to get the best results Hope this helps Marco _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
