I started over with this one and then applied a gradient, with the help of Dale's tutorial... Thanks Dale.
I was not on here last week I had so much stuff going on. I got to go with Jim Clark for 3days when he had a seminar up here. Then I had to work and catch up around here. It was a blast and I learned a lot. Hopefully, I will get some pictures up soon.
I am planning on upgrading my windows from XP to 7 this week and hope it will not be a major disaster..
Anyway now I plan on catching up here. #1492175

Beth I just need to be blunt here. This edit is a step backward from the original posts as I remember them. This is dark and muddy and the lighting in the windows has a gray cast that does not look good or natural as that is the light source for the shot. I would toss this and go back to your prior original or one of the edits that you liked in that thread. #10368914

Yeah, I don't care too much for the over saturation and blocked up colors either. I have a hard time with these images with bright, high contrast colors. there just isn't much latitude in the adjustments you can make. #10369090

Yup, I agree with the guys, the previous version was better. #10369183

It's unanimous Beth. The other version was better. You may have misunderstood the tutorial because I was suggesting you only use the gradient on the sky, not the entire image. #10369279

Me too...not sure what happened, but I recall the other versions looking better. This has a muddy unnatural appearance to it. Sorry! I had really liked one of your last versions. #10369437

I went back to the last one in the original thread. Dale I am missing something in the process, because I could not get it to work with a layer mask or on the levels adjustment mask. Thanks for the honesty. #10369553
