Chapter 8. Messin with Mother Nature

Chapter 8. Messin' with Mother Nature

It may not be nice to fool with Mother Nature, but it sure can be a whole lot of fun. Even Mother Nature can use a little help every now and then, right?

The projects in this chapter are almost as diverse as Mother Nature is. In fact, you'll use a variety of tools and techniques in Paint Shop Pro as you work through this chapter. From selections and cloning to filters and layer blending effects, this chapter has it all. Now go out and shoot some stormy skies and cityscapes and get started with the digital darkroom fun.
