I Love Photoshop

I created this piece by using a farm picture of mine and using the black and white effect to make it infrared. Then I used a layer to blend it slightly to a leaner burn. I then used the burn brush on the ground and area around the barn to make it darker. Then I used the dodge brush to make the barn and clouds lighter. I played with the occupancy of these two brushed for the effect making the effect slight.

Then I borrowed images from Deviant Art. I borrowed the moon from priesteres_stock here: http://priesteres-stock.deviantart.com/

Then I borrowed the lady from SilaynneStock here: http://silaynnestock.deviantart.com/

I turned the lady into BW after sizing and removing the background around her. Then I used the infrared effect on her. Pasted her to the picture then used the burn brush on her. This helps her match the mood. Then I used a brush occupancy to 9 and a smaller brush for the red on the barn and ladies dress.

I created fog on the image by creating an empty layer then choosing a very light grey color. I set the brush to dissolve with the occupancy to 30. After I brushed over the parts I wanted fog on I used the Gaussian Blur at occupancy 12.5 .

Now I have my Spooky image.

Dynamic-HDR Tool

This is a wonderful tool for HDR. I used two exposures for this! I changed the elevation in them and then used the tone mapping tool in Dynamic-HDR! Then in Adobe CS3 I went to image adjustments using the selective color I enhanced the green. Then I went to match color and used image intensity. I then went to the filters in the blur section and used the surface blur on the channels and knocked out some of the noise in the image! This was tthe end result. I perfer this to LucisArt!

Here is the link to the Software!
