Ray, I really like what you did with the water -- very pretty and dramatic. Here is a tip for blending in new skies to avoid the white haloes around branches. Instead of doing a selection, just add your new sky above your background, and change the blending mode to darken. Then add a layer mask with a soft linear gradient to blend in the edge. You can paint with a soft gray/black brush to help blend in any light areas that you don't want affected by the new sky. This technique works very well with light/white skies against a dark foreground. Quick and easy. http://www.pbase.com/image/48641020.jpg -- tammy http://www.pbase.com/niemand/tammy/
