One for C&C

[AnthonyB]

Seeing as I found my copy of CS5 I figured I would post a quick one for C&C

I like the composition, but the house is too underexposed for my tastes. Also think it'd work better if the land on the right wasn't there (and it was just open water).

I did a quick edit, hope you don't mind:

Dont mind at all,I was trying to do that on PS but had no luck lol

I don't use PS5 all that much (and don't have it installed at the moment, needed space for other stuff), but basically:

1. Tapped up the Vibrancy a bit, making the clouds pop a bit more
2. Used Dodge (pretty sure PS has this brush) to brush in a lightness on the house and landscape (other than forefront beach and water)

If you have PS5, I'd use Content Aware to remove the land from the ride side. That's just me though

I haven't got that far into CS5 yet lol

Content Aware is easy to use. Basically just use the laso tool to outline the area you want to remove, hit delete, and the content aware box will pop up. Let it decide what areas to use to re-mask it and watch the magic happen.

Playing around with it for 5 mins and I was able to do some nifty stuff.
