Can anyone  help guide me on the edits of sunsets in photoshop.The image above is how I saw the sunset lots of strong yellows and oranges etc a spectacular sunset.I have so many that i like but want to enhance them to the best they could look.

Lovely shots, especially the sky in number 3. I'm afraid I can't help with PS as I don't have it but I use a graduated filter in LR5 to enhance the sky.

What a beautiful sky!

 

I'll let others advise on the editing, I'll just say that the composition in number 3 is just about perfect and it's a great piece of work.

I'm with Korky on this; the composition of #3 is spot on. The colours are also spot on for me, that's an image worthy of a frame and wall space!

I added a graduated filter to your pic just to see how it looked. Only took 2 minutes. I hope you don't mind.

No I am so pleased you did! Can you share how you did it?

I honestly have quite a few good shots and it will be helpful to get them looking like they pop a little more.

I have saved a copy of it hope that's ok :)

I just added a graduation filter to the sky and reduced the exposure slightly and then increased clarity, saturation and vibrancy a little to give the colour similar to the one in your other shot. I actually did this in Cyberlink Photodirector 5 which I had just got on a free download. Looking at it I wish I hadn't spent £100 or LR5 because for me it does pretty much exactly the same. All of this should be a piece of cake with PS, though it's too complicated for me as I'm not that good yet, and don't have time to learn at the moment.

Haha, you are welcome, it's your image after all. I just wish I could get out and take some myself at the moment.

Well I think you are good! That sky looks so much better thank you :)

More amazing images of this evening's sunset. I think Mother Nature bowed to the whole of Scotland  after the fantastic show she put on for us today.

have a little play with levels in photoshop. with your photo on screen press Ctrl+L at the same time, this will being the levels scree up. move the grey mid-tone silder to the right to boost the colours and the darker slider to the right a touch to darken the image.
