Hello! I'm new here ^^

I'd like to know how can I make the sky in this picture:

http://img7.picsplace.to/img7/2/kilahuea.jpg

to look like the sky in this picture?

I mean, to make it look really blue and clear like in the second picture.

Also I'd like to know how can I improve lightning in my picture (the first one)?

P.D: I am using Photoshop CS2

well you could possibly use the polygonal lasso tool, select the sky leaving out objects and then mess around with color, contrast, etc... also you could use the background eraser tool then put a gradient in the background, like in the other where it is light blue on bottom and dark blue on top...

not sure if i helped, though Confused

Thanks for replying! Big Wink

Because of the structure of the attraction and the tree, it is very hard to erase the background with the background eraser tool, I mean even if I erase the sky there still would be a little bit ''inside'' the structure so it would be really hard to erase it all. And the tree would show different sky color through the leaves. Any other options? Big Grin

I think your best bet would be to use the "Color Range".
(Select / Color range)... click on the blue then with the +eyedropper click around adding to the blue range. then ok...it will select all the blues you might have to play with the fuzzy slide to not lose any of the blue from the steel beams.
Very do-able.
