Landscape Pro edits and thoughts

[fuzzyfelt30]

Having been mostly unlucky with the weather during my recent trip to the States (either cloudy and rain or clear blue skies with little in between) I thought I would give Landscape Pro a go as the stand alone version was only €31 on Black Friday. I have spent an hour or two playing around with it and exploring the sky presets etc and have come to the conclusion that whilst it is limited, it is certainly a useful programme for those times that didn't benefit from great light (of which there were a large number on our family holiday)! I have added a couple of shots to show what I've come up with...rather extreme but I was pushing things to see if they would still look reasonable!! There is also an 'add' function so if you add your own sky shots that are perhaps a higher quality and more appropriate to the image, things would improve further but I haven't got round to trying that yet! All-in-all, it looks like it will be a big 'time waster' for a photshopoholic like me! Anyone else using it and if so, what have you come up with?

I was impressed with the result of what you did with the first picture that I went and had a look around their website.
After a bit of digging I bought smart photo editor. I'll enjoy messing around with that. Thanks for the heads up.

I looked at this, it was half price then got a voucher for a further 25% reduction.

Didn't bother in the end, seemed more like creating than editing, step too far for me

Thanks...and indeed I do, but I'm always on the look out for easier/different/cheaper options!

No problem...just thought it worth a mention and see if anyone else was using it!

The more creating, the better as far as I'm concerned....but then, I'm a self-confessed photoshopaholic who believes there is no such thing as a step too far!!
