GIMP photo enhancing

IF YOU WOULD LIKE, BEFORE YOU GET STARTED, SEE HOW I MADE THIS IMAGE BY CLICKING HERE, then looking at the layers.               lane_spring_hurst.xcf


Step 1. Right click and save the below original photo image to your computer Y drive, then open it in GIMP. (right click edit with GIMP).

Step 2. Click "Layer" then "Transparency" then "Add Alpha Channel"

Step 3. Use the "Fuzzy Select Tool" looks like a wand with a yellow light on the end, and click the white sky, then press delete on the keyboard.


*Adjust the color of the photo by clicking "Colors" then Hue/Saturation and increasing or decreasing the values to your liking.
**Adjust furthermore using the "Colors" then "Curves" and adjust that line to change the brightness and contrast of the photo.


Search for an image of a new sky to replace the blank white one, download the image, then drag the image into the GIMP project. Or instead of dragging, in GIMP click File > Open as Layers.


Feel free to add extra sky or image elements like I did such as adding, birds, airplanes, balloons, hot air balloons, kites, anything else that you might want to enhance your new sky.


Step 3. Once you have finished. SAVE the image as your name.jpg
