I have been determined to learn more about the powerful image editing tools contained within Photoshop CS2. Up until now, I have been pretty much a novice using this software. Recently I picked up a 3 DVD set called Total Training for Adobe Photoshop CS2. It includes about 22 hours of instruction. Below is a shot I did a while ago of the Statler Towers. It is an HDR photo.

I didn’t like the ugly gray sky. I’ve learned some new techniques for using photoshop and decided to practice on that picture. Below is the result of a bit of tweaking with photoshop.

The sky is much more realistic. In my opinion, it greatly enhances the original HDR photo. I am about 8 hours into the 22 hours of training and can’t wait to discover how to use more useful editing tools.
