Design Thoughts: During a leisurely walk with our dog, we saw a vibrant sunset with a storm rolling in. I took this photo and wanted to showcase the colors of the sky against the contrast of the rest of the world being black and white.
How I created this image:
I first used Camera Raw to increase the exposure, vibrance, and saturation, particularly in the sky colors.
Created a new black and white adjustment layer in the Adjustments panel.
Used paintbrush to paint over the areas with sky to create the mask, which required switching from black and white paint to finesse the masked area.
