I am practicing masking in different software programs. Of late, I have picked up a trial version of Topaz’s Remask 4. It does a very good job, far better than less expensive programs, and with very good edge refinement. This is one of my first attempts using it, replacing a dull sky with one filled with clouds. Processed using LR5, CS6, and Remask 4. If you would like to see what Remask 4 can do, google it or look for it on YouTube, but you can also see how it worked with a photostacked rose.

The beaches along the Olympic Peninsula are nothing short of amazing. No camera can catch the mood perfectly, but software can help!

While we were there, the sky moved from a foggy opacity, to blue and cloudy, and back. I wanted to capture that in-between time when the sun was breaking through as the fog lightened.
