Description
For those of you who watch my regular work, this may be somewhat of a dissapointment, especially with a title involving 'curves.' But sometimes when I get bored in the studio and/or I have a little more time to play in Photoshop I like to try something new. In this case, surrealistic landscapes.

The photo was taken in black & white of some stormy skies over Banning, CA. A Red#2 filter was used to enhance contrast as was Photoshop's contrast feature. I converted the image to RGB and messed with the levels to give the overall photo a purple haze. (*rocks out to Jimi for a second*) I then seperated the land and sky and messed with color levels some more to get a red sky and darker blue road. By that point, though, you had pretty much lost the arrow signs so I highlighted them with the magic wand and made them as close to their original yellow color as I could. I kinda like the effect so I thought I'd share.
