How do i create a layer of blue to add to existing image to have a blue sky?

Adobe PhotShop Elements 3.0 for Mac OS X+ Mac Mini
I am a real estate photographer. most agents want a blue sky rather than the grey. What procedure would you recommend to creat this?
1. a layer of blue? if so how do i create one then add it to existing image?
2. is there a brush or paint bucket or other tool that can be used to fill in the sky area with blue on existing image.
Thanks

Hank,
1. Open the layers palette and also the color swatches palette
2. Duplicate the background layer, shut off the visibility of the background layer be clicking on its eye icon.
We shall be working on the background copy layer, which should be the active layer, and is denoted in blue in the layers palette. In case it is necessary to start over, one can delete the layers which have been generated, proceeding from the original layer.
3. Use the magic wand tool. Have contiguous and use all layers checked. Click on the "old" gray sky. In case this tool does not pick up a portion, hold down the shift key and click again.
4. You shall see a selection as denoted by "marching ants."
5. Go to Layer>new>Layer via copy. Hold down the ctrl key and click on this layer in the layers palette, making this active
6. Select a blue color from the swatches palette (foreground color)
7. Use the paintbucket tool to fill in the "new" blue sky
8. You can adjust the opacity of the new sky layer with the slider in the layers palette
There are other ways to do this as well, but this method has served me extremely well. To give it a really nice look, there are available cloud brushes for free download via Adobe Studio Exchange.

  • How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?

    How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
    Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.

    May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
    Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
    If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
    Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
    Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
    Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
    The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
    Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
    I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete.

  • How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

    How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

    Here's the help page that describes using the tab stops:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS35CA53B6-EAFF-499a-A600-DCD85686354Da.html
    Let me know if that's clear as mud and I'll try to shed more light on the subject.
    One thing that isn't specified/clarified/whatever (and was the biggest stumbling block for me when I first tried this in PPro 1.5) is that the ruler for the tab stops is zeroed at the edge of the text box, and tab stops ONLY work in text boxes (or "text area," however you please). At any rate, you have to position that ruler so that the zero point is at the left edge of your text box, and then the rest of the instructions in the help doc will make sense.
    Also, it's useful to show the tab markers while you work. Just go "Title > View > Tab Markers" and you're good.
    Hope this helps!
    As a side, I have found that this one feature is really the best and most useful part of the PPro titler (and also, just about the only function in the titler that WON'T cause your system to crash on a regular basis).

  • How do I create a reflection in Keynote on a perspective distorted image?

    I distorted the image in photoshop but when I bring it into Keynote and apply the Reflection feature the reflection applies as if the image was not distorted.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    There's a tip on this page

    towards the bottom, it goes into how to use the OSX developer tools (Quartz Composer) to convert your image to one that has a perspective reflection. I'm going to check Snow Leopard now to see if it still exists.

  • How would I create a layer ABOVE a custom cursor? [CS5 Pro]

    ...so the custom cursor would disappear behind the layer when moved across it.
    Currently if the layer is simply put at the top of the layer list [above the mouse cursor layer] when published the mouse cursor supersedes it and appears above all layers... not behind any
    Many many thanks for your help in advance oh Holy Whizzkids

    First, try removing that first line and see if it helps.
    Second, if it doesn't help, after that line do the same for whatever object you have in the layer you want to sit above the cursor... it'll need to be objects that you can target with code.
    What addChild() does is it takes the object being targeted and places at the top of the display list.  So that first line is essentially uprooting whytehand from the timeline and placing it above all other content planted in the timeline.  So either you don't use it, or you also use it to place the other content above the cursor.

  • How do I create a dial link from a hotspot on an image in Dreamweaver CS5?

    I understand how to create a link from text, or from an image, but I need to create a link within the image map so that clients on their cell phones can call by clicking on my chosen hotspot. Any suggestions?

    Right, thanks. I've had to adapt it and create 2 more duplicate contact images, for the other small screens as the image maps are too large on the smaller screens. But I managed to get it to work how I want. Thank you.
    But I can't figure out how to do the tel: link. I've tried so many variations. But when I update the website, and try it on my mobile phone (which by the way, is not an iPhone, it's just a Samsung Tocco Lite), the tel: links won't work, both on the images, and the raw text. My phone just keeps coming up with an error message, saying: "Invalid Phone Number".
    The text tel: links are: <div class="PhoneNumber"><a href="tel:+64-09-537-1458">09537 1458</a></div>
    I've had to put the phone numbers in seperate div tags, that way, I can hide each div tag, according to the layout for the screen sizes.
    And the image tel: links are: <area shape="rect" coords="6,36,110,59" href="tel:+649537 1458" />
    As you can see, both these tel: links are different, but both don't work.
    Is there something I've done wrong to make the error message pop-up instead of dialing the number? Or is it the case of it being my mobile phone that doesn't support it. How can I correct it in each instance if it is the case, so that it will work on all forms of mobile phones?
    Please note that I am in New Zealand, and the country code is 64. and 09 is the area code.
    Thanks.
    Edit: It doesn't matter now. I've managed to figure it out, and it now works on my phone.

  • How do I create a URL to filter a view when the value I have from list one is the ID that was used by list 2 to pull in the list 1 title?

    My list "Tasks" has an record with Title = "Build SSIS for Duke Energy" and its ID is 1. Then I have a list "Journal" where I have tracked entries related to the progress of the task. When I create the Journal entries I passed
    in the ID of the task 1 which then pulled the title into the Journal's Associated task lookup column. Now I'd like to have a column in the Tasks list that would have a URL to take me to all journal entries related to the Task. But passing in the ID 1 of the
    task does not work. 
    If the lookup column has the actual Title from the task in all the time and it is not dynamically pulled every time the list is queried shouldn't I be able to filter on the Title e.g. "Build
    SSIS for Duke Energy"  

    I ended up going with a workflow to build the URL and sending the title to the look-up column. 
    I tried the script at that site and ran into several problems. It didn't work with views that were grouped, the calculated links did not show on the edit and view forms. I assume those forms would have to be changed to run the script also.
    In addition to, I have to add a CEWP to each view and I was also losing the "Items" and "List" options (next to "Browse") from the ribbon until I clicked around in the list. 
    What are the downfalls of a workflow? I ask because many people default to using a similar TextToHTML script like you mentioned.

    You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services.  You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.

  • How do I create a table of 3 data elements for each trial and have it updated instead of waiting until the end of the program?

    I am trying to record 3 pieces of data, all (software) timing in ms (in U8 integers). I managed to finally get each data in the right column but now it doesn't record anything in the table and it doesn't update the numeric indicators during the experiment like it should. I can't figure for the life of me what I did wrong. I know at least the trial part of the program works, but so far the data recording part is giving me a headache.
    Thanks

    Why it is not reporting the data is easy; fixing the program may not be. LabVIEW uses a dataflow paradigm. This means that no part of the program executes until all of its data inputs are availble. In your case the table and the array functions driving it are fed by outputs from the outer while loop. Thus no data gets to the table until the while loop has finished executing (which is at the end of your experiment). One possible approach would be to store the data in a shift register and move the table inside the loop.
    Many experienced LV programmers try to avoid or minimize the use of sequence structures and local variables to read and write to/from front panel objects. We use a state machine which is a while loop with a case structure. Queues can be u
    sed to pass data between the user interface and the data acquistion loops. This subject is too involved to be handled in a brief posting, but if you search the archives and examples you can learn more.
    Also, be aware that software timing can be problematic if you are using a desktop operating system. If the OS decides to check the net for software updates or something you could have large discrepancies in your timing. These might be rare, but there is no reliable way of detecting them. I have built several systems similar to what you seem to be trying to do and have never been successful with software timing.
