This image was provided with the tutorial and I pretty much did exactly the same steps with the exception of how I made my clouds. I used the cloud tube, but then I used motion blur and gaussian blur to soften it. Replacing the sky was a bit tricky, too. I redid the selection and modified it with a feathering of three before deleting. |

The examples below are made using the tutorial as a guide, then adding my own variances and using additional photo enhance filters in PSP 7. |

The original photo was fuzzy in appearance and needed alot of clarification and unsharp masking to make the tree bark and leaves come back to life. |

This one was too dark to allow the details of the windows and brickwork to stand out. It also contained alot of moiré specks from being overcompressed. After removing the small sapling in the foreground, I cleaned up the little specs in the sky using a light touch on the smudge brush followed by lightness to target. I added the cloud to help brighten the sky and give the photo an overall lighter look. |
