My version of Old Scotney Castle by Ryan Photography for June’s Before and After Challenge.
First, I brought Ryan’s picture into Photoshop and filled in the people and a few branches at the top of the image. Next, I opened the image in OnOne Effects and added an HDR evening metal effect, which I altered to suit. I brought it back into Photoshop and imported a sky. I masked out the original sky to let the new one show through. To tone down some of the color and make it less Disney like I added a black and white filter layer and masked out some of it to let the color show through in places. For fun I imported two eagles, masked them out and placed them in the sky.
Your edited version is perfect! Nice contrast, Sherry.

Thanks. Layering to exchange skies can be done in Photoshop and onOne. Doing thmasking correctly is key. Lots of tutorials around for that.
