Cool.....did you take that. Because it looks somewhat familiar.

No, it's a stock photo.


It took about an hour.

There are very few pictures that I ever like enough to save it to my comp...but this is just awesome.

Would you mind explaining how you managed to do that? The ocean is just so...colorrific

[aperson]

I first cloned the entire picture and set it to hard light to give it more vividness since it was so damn blah and non-contrasting at first. I merged the layers and tweaked brightness/contrast till it looked reasonable.

Then I went to channels and merged the values of the green and blue channels into one layers since that was the general composition of the water. From there I used lots and lots of curves + painting to make it so that the ocean was the only area selected. I then went back to the main area and dropped a blue color into that selection on hard light. Then I went back to the channels again and Increased the values of the blue channel on the water and darkened the Red and Green layers.

Then I gaussian blurred the sky a bit, and voila.

Awesome work.

[plasmix]

That would make an awesome desktop image.

I actually think the original looked better. :/

Yeah, you aren't a very vivid person to say the least.

Vash uses photodraw. Booo.

And that had nothing to do with the topic.

Nice work, Aperson.
