[edit] Sky

Thanks for adding sky to Image:Michelle house American Pie northwest view.JPG. Would you look over these images and add sky as appropriate. Also, please feel free to fix 'em up as you see fit. Thanks. JohnABerring27A (talk) 17:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm going to be honest with you: I'm not that good :o) I get this problem a lot when I take pictures in daylight, and so I've been researching ways to fix the overexposed sky. The three photos I touched up are perfect candidates because there is a high amount of contrast between the sky and the trees (See how dark the trees are? ). All the other pictures have a different kind of tree that lets some light through (See the tree on the left-hand side ), and makes it hard to remove the old sky (If you remove too much, the tree looks like leaves are just floating all around it, and if you don't remove enough, then the branches get a white glow in front of the new blue sky).

I'm still trying to figure out if there are ways to do it, and I'll definitely take a look at the other photos if I can find a good method.

PS - You should open an account at the Commons and upload your images there so that other language wikipedias will have access to your photos directly! tiZom_(2¢) 08:43, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
