5 Image Vertorama, 1st time

What do you think? pls be frank. only thing i can find myself is that i dont like the wb at the bottom, perhaps i should work on it, but that means all starburst lights will need to be done as well and I simply dont know how to go about these.

This was 5 shots? They appear to have merged seamlessly! Looks fantastic!

First, there seems to be an excess of yellow down by the streets, but I suppose it's expected with all those streetlights.
Second, the sky seems to be a really bright blue for how many lights are on in the buildings and on the street. Was that photoshoped to be lighter or was the sky really that light blue?

thats how it was, almost turning dark, just a minute or two before it

Alrighty. Thanks for the clarification. Definitely an awesome (set of) shot(s)!

Thanks...wish i knew how to clean up the w/b at street level.

What exactly did you want to do? Are you trying to remove some of the yellow?

Yep but I am quite new to Photoshop some things I just dint get yet

Personally, I like the color contrast between the predominantly yellow street level area and the buildings and sky. I think the shot would be significantly less interesting without this contrast (basically more of a tourist "postcard" shot). If you do want to decrease a particular color in PS, there are probably several ways to do it. The easiest might be to use either a color balance or hue/saturation adjustment layer and selectively decrease yellow, masking off areas of the image you don't want to change.

The easiest way (though probably not the best nor the cleanest) is to add a Selective Color adjustment layer.

In the mask on that adjustment layer, add a gradient from white to black so that only the bottom of the image (the yellow stuff) is not covered by the black of the mask. This will ensure that your adjustments only affect the bottom portion of the image, and the gradient allows a nice fade so that there isn't a noticeable horizontal line at the part of the image that you adjusted.

Now go back to your selective color settings and choose Yellows from the drop-down menu. You can remove most of the yellow from this window as well as add more of the other colors.

You should also play around with some of the other colors from the drop-down menu in the Selective Color layer to see if changing the balance within other regions helps as well.

This is what I got doing a real quick job. You should be able to get something that looks a lot better than this using this method. This just shows that the colors can be adjusted without messing up the rest of the image.

I agree!

thanks wiz and sts
I will try that out, if just to learn more

good luck!

Very nice! I couldn't resist trying my hand at an edit. Adjusted color balance and some individual color channel saturation levels, muting it just a tad. Play around with it as much as you want, in my opinion! The possibilities are pretty much endless.
