Took this shot yesterday in very bad light and dismal weather. Have managed to change the sky, although not happy about it. What I am looking for is a Christmas scene, with perhaps snow and a star in the sky with Santa and his sleigh. Can anyone please help and advise.

There is a relatively cheap editing prog called "Smart Photo Editor". It allows you to change areas in the picture such as sky, ground, water, stone etc. I use it for replacing the sky on very dull days it carries well over 100 skys and is extremely easy to use. There is also a section where you can do basic HDR on a single photo instead of having to use 3 or 5 pictures. It is quite a extensive piece of kit and very useful for cheating. Its also great fun to play with. I cant remember the cost but it certainly wasn't over expensive. I have included a couple of before and after photos.

Thanks Bruno, I have that editor and have used it. But it still will not give me the effect I'm looking for.

It is now October. If you want a pic with snow and stars and santa and his sleigh in the scene you probably should try again on the evening of 24th December. You will probably want to make sure that you have good low light capabilities to use a fast shutter speed as the moment can be fleeting. :lol:

I'm sorry--just didn't think it looked like that was what you were going for. I like how you brought the colors out in the building.
