Worth1000.com Photoshop Contest

Worth100.com is a website based on Photoshop imaging. I entered a contest called "Caution," in which the assignment was to edit the below image in any way. Since the caution sign says "Caution: Angry Yellow Jackets," I decided to go along with the bee theme and include beekeepers. To access my entry, entitled "Bees," follow this link: http://www.worth1000.com/view.asp?entry=361367&display=photoshop.

Photoshop Presentation: Burn and Dodge Tools, and Paint Bucket

Let's use this image of my friends who visited from New Jersey and I to learn about how to utilize the following Photoshop tools: (a) Burn Tool and Dodge Tool, and (b) Paint Bucket Tool

Tasks to Complete:

1. Use the BURN TOOL to darken the values of the horizon in the distance and the sky

2. Use the DODGE TOOL to lighten the values of the dark, wet rocks in the foreground so that you can see the detail of the rocks

3. Use the PAINT BUCKET TOOL to color the sky very dark, so that it looks like it is late at night
