Pano sunset in the Galilee

I could have put this in my ongoing post that only about 2 people are reading because I used a stupid title but I thought this would get more views. I am currently just over 1/2 way into a 15-day tour of the Holy Land (in Jerusalem now) and took this a few days ago from my cabin at a kibbutz our group was staying at. It was hazy so after stitching the 6 shots in PSE12 I brought it into Picasa to adjust it for sharpness, saturation and color temperature. The sea of Galilee is the largest source of fresh water in Israel and it is several meters low as our tour guide showed us during a boat ride we took the next day.

Beautiful pano! If you still want to reduce the haze, which will intensify your sky colors, try using the PS camera raw filter and adjusting the "haze" setting a bit. Still, as you currently have it, the photo gives me an aura of "mysterious land" feeling.

I think the haze adds a lot of mood and sense of place.

PS Elements 12 can also do sharpness, saturation and color...and much more carefully and selectively than you can in Picasa.

Yes, titles can make a difference in viewing - lol. However, now with the "newest pictures" feature, it's easy to scroll through thumbnail images to decide which ones to open to view and comment on. So maybe titles won't be so important in future.

Of course, a main forum topic title "Help!" usually garners as many responses as any other; must be the curiosity factor

PSE 14 has both an "Auto Haze Reduction"(I find it works quite well), as well as a "you control amount" haze deduction. The auto can be used a couple of times if it hasn't cleared the haze to your satisfaction. It will also enhance the colors, not sure whether it is a saturation or clarity tool, but it works!
