Better than Windex...duplicate and multiply!

I shot this sunset photo through my (in need of a wash) home office window. In an attempt to disguise the streaks on the glass, I opened the image in Photoshop and duplicated the photo, then set the blend mode on the duplicate to Multiply. It made the colors become very vivid, which is a good thing because I already used the theme of "through a window".

  9. Great technique! I love the range of oranges and the depth of the clouds in your sunset. Well done!

  10. The intense orange gives it a certain infernal tone--rather like the sky over Mordor.
