ENHANCING A SUNSET
Sunsets make wonderful photographs. However, what
looked perfect through the viewfinder may lack a little
luster when you get the image into your computer. You can
add life to a bland sunset by using an adjustment layer.
1. Open the image in Photoshop Elements.
2. Open the Layers palette.
3. Click the Adjustment Layer icon, and
from the drop-down menu, choose
Photo Filter to open the Photo Filter
dialog box.
