Very nice color effect, Veronica. How did you accomplish this? Blessings, Deborah #723219Veronica S. McGinnity August 25, 2007
Well, I am new to photoshop so I will do my best to try to explain! First I took out the background with the magic extractor and added a gradient layer which is the blue, then I adjusted the color curve of the house alone and then did a luminosity layer which brought the blue down throughout the photo. Does that make sense?! :-) I thought after the last step it looked unique so stopped playing and saved it! Thanks for the compliment! #4698124Donna La Mattino Pagakis August 25, 2007

Very nice effects. You do great PS work for being new. I still have lots to learn and try out. Good Job on this very creative. :-) #4742643Veronica S. McGinnity September 03, 2007
Thanks Sharon, I bought the book "Photoshop for Dummmies" and I am muddling through it! I have a lot to learn :-) I noticed that you have the same camera as I do, I just bought mine a few weeks ago...any suggestions on a good zoom lens for it?
