That actually looks pretty good. It seems like all you did was Transform it and add a Gaussian Blur on another layer set to Soft Light, but it looks good.

I just noticed the sky is different, nice job on that. Seems like you put some work into this one, nice job.

try watermarks.. they add a great touch to photomanip.
GOOd job man i like it.. kinda like a dreamy picture..

lol thx i never tried a photomanip so i had to try something new lol so i didnt want to fuck the picture up and make it look like ass so i didnt do that much to it

i would like to know how to do better ones so if anyone knows how to do them good them please i would love to learn lol

do we have any photomanip tuts here? come to think of it, I haven't seen one for this kinda stuff

Nice work. Photomanips - depends what you want to do in them, so I'll be general with some suggestions.
You could change the sky, using the polygonal lasso, trace around the edge of the building up and around the sky and cut, the building will be on a layer by itself, insert a new layer and paste a new sky in the bg - or with the another sky, motion blur it, you can get some funky results.
Another would be to turn it from day - to - night, again change the sky to a star or moon backdrop, but this time copy the building, desat to turn it black+white, increase the contrast and lower the brightness ... after that you can do a few things, just leave it b+w or lower the transparency so some color from the original comes thru, or Linear Burn adjust opacity so it doesn't look harsh.
Another manip would be to turn it into an old ruin, that'll take time and careful use of matching pictures, like a broken dome, beat up pillars and holes, that you put into place, blend and cut and move around till it fits, like I said takes time but the results can be worth it.

^^^^is right.. try different things.. FIREWORKS *whistle...pop*

mynros u should post a few hundred tuts with ur knowledge.

well damn thx for the help i'll try some of that next time i just have to find good pics
