Wonders of photoshop

Today in class, we learned a bit of using Photoshop Elements 8 to intesify colors, deepen contrasts, and alter photos to capture the imagination.

I enjoy working with bold colors that belong in your dreams, not in every day life.

I give you the progression of my brain child image.

Original:
Unaltered
First Layer, pulled hue to almost black and white and saturation to magenta

Layered purple over sky and water

Layered blue and gray over bridge and trees/ tree reflection


I am playing some more with images and making them more surreal for the art show next week.

Opinions?
