I’m trying to adjust this picture so it looks seamless in Photoshop.

What do you people recommend?

a sort of fog/focus filter would do nicely. let me see what i can come up with on it to show what i mean.

You need to get rid of the snow that is currently on the same level as lush green foliage!

If you talking about the forest area, yeah that’s part of the original picture. Just under it you will see where it breaks into the country picture.

The cheap hack is to just mirror it and add it to the side so you have a symmetrical image. However, that'd probably defeat the purpose of the exercise.

If you notice, the green forested hill on the left is about the same size as the icy hill on the right, maybe if you added some forestry to the icy hill on the right, slowly growing sparser and sparser into ice, and then added fog to the background/smudged the foreground seams a bit, itd look ok.

Ill have a crack at it to.

<EDIT>

Like this;



Just note, that was done in like 5 minutes, and my colour on this screen is messed up, so the green areas look almost black here, so it may look a lot worse on a computer with a good screen, Im not sure.

Basically I coppied the left icy hill, pasted it on the right, smudged it around a bit, smudged the air seem-line a bit, same with the mountain seem, and once again, smudged the fields to cross over the half-way point to break the symmetry a bit.

edit: didn't reload to see ruccus's post when i posted. looks like we both went along the same lines. i used the clone and paint brush

I don't have a sig, live with it.

the key would be to add a layer of snow / frost as you edge towards the front of the image.

make sure that the image gains a sense of the cold from the snowy mountains. because it would be far more difficult to make the mountains have less snow..

first of all tweak the levels, push the right bar(white across to the left until it pulls the brightness back up to something realistic.

then using the contrast by about ten points to remove the mist

then using the burn tool at 5% from the dodge and burn, apply this to the fore ground objects to hide the trees that have a distinct outline

apply this to the mountains so they are a little darker as well.

reverse areas with the dodge tool 5% to pull some places back up.

This gives the effect that clouds are crossing the foreground plain out of sight from the cameras view.

apply one sharpen filter

burn the mountain range so it blends more with the base of the mountains and the ground.

use the color balance tool and push the green +15 and the yellow - 15 to ramp up the colours a little more.

you can tweak the pixels in the sky at the top of the mountains for a better result
also compare the result on LCD, they dont hide anything like a CRT does.

edit: yes the clone tool would help as well but zoom in and use sparingly with a small brush.
then burn and dodge over it.
use the [ ] keys to size the brush quickly.

those results will appear like this.

Indeed. =/

Don’t really like the image anyway, might just make a new one and try some of people’s tips.
