The purple water is freakin' me out a little bit but the sky is fantastic! Your whites are really starting to blow out...can you pull them back down with a curves adjustment?

[Ian McHenry]

Thanks Jules
With my Photoshop Elements was not able to reduce as much blown HL as I would have liked but here is an edit with Curves & Levels adjustment plus Coded Color SmartFix.

Since the whites are totally gone, I used Quick mask to get a piece of the forward waves and used it twice to cover the blown parts. You can also use the clone stamp to do that. Here's my version.

Much Better.
Thanks Fabs.
Never thought of using clone stamp.

Actually the patch tool may do a better job!

Hi Ian,
I like your composition and use of color. I like the purple ocean...:eek: It looks like purple Cool Aide...:p;):):D. Your whites on the white caps are blown. Miss Fabs did a great job in bringing most of the details back...congrats...looking forward to your next funky creation...:cool:

[Ian McHenry]

Thanks again Fabs. Unfortunately I don't think there is a patch tool in Elements.
Thanks Gus. Will keep my eyes open when editing for possible funky color candidates !!!!
Cheers: Ian Mc
