Russian Church in Nice, France

Hi,
This is a before and after display. There should actually be a 3rd picture showing the very first picture where I needed to use the straightening tool. Then I selected the Area Tool and brightened and enhanced the colors in the buildings. Then did a New Area brightening in the trees. Then did an Image Tool light brightening.
After the straightening and enhancing, I then went to Add UnderLayment where I selected a sky picture in my desktop folder. This is the fun part where I hope others learn from: First, I started painting with the Add to Selection brush. I painted wherever I wanted to replace the sky. When it got to the trees, I selected a pretty big brush and painted over the whole big tree and not just in-between the branches. It will look funny (not the original color), but this is where you change brushes to go to Erase From Selection, pretty much keeping the same large diameter brush, click individually (mostly) the tree trunk and branches, and the ORIGINAL color will come back!!!! Yeah, that was funnnnnnn.
Now, just change the Opacity Slider at the bottom of the Composite Tool column to your liking, and return to carefully using the Add to Selection and Erase from Selection to finish up your artwork. And perhaps the Airbrush with Opacity Slider.
For simpler (or more complicated) pictures where you want to bring in your own background and painting in the sky area to use a pre-loaded SPE Effect just won't do it, remember about using the Composite tool to Add Under/Over Layments to help you accomplish your goals. Also, when finishing you may find the Airbrush tool and Opacity Slider very useful. Just try and practice.

Hey Phelon,
A lovely picture! For painting background sky behind the trees, there's a very quick way of doing it in SPE. Hover your brush over a clear patch of sky, then hold down the shift key. That keeps the detector over the easily selected sky. Then when you paint over the area where there's sky and trees it will only select the sky pixels and not the tree pixels.
