Flying Free

A Para-Glider enjoying the adrenaline rush of flying on the breeze at Dixon Park in New South Wales, Australia. A digital photograph captured with a 6 MP Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S500 and edited in Photoshop Elements 7 where textures and effects filters were applied. The original photograph of the glider is much more light-filled than this edit.

Ric Alexander

Well you have just shown people what can be achieved with elements my friend. well done. A superb image. Try this –
Make a new levels layer, Move the output slider on the right of the blue channel to the left a bit until the color changes. Goto the red channel and move the main right hand side slider to the left until it changes tone also, Now, still on the red slider, move the middle slider to the right. Using those sliders willl give great effects ovwer the photo filter. Excellent work here !
reflector replied

Thanks a lot for your great comment and making this a fave Ric ! I’ll try your method in the next few days. :))

Read somewhere on RB that postcards was something they were thinking of doing. I just read what Ric suggested – the mind boggles at all that techno speak. lol x
reflector replied

I heard about post cards being done at some stage too. I’ve looked at what Ric is talking about before, but I’ll re-visit that part of the program to see what can be done with it that I hadn’t realized. Cheers ! :)
