[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 69620, member: 6548"] I use 2.2! Not only am I a cheapskate but I am behind in the times too. lol Here is the way I would do what you are describing...with certain types of photos mind you not all photos - first you open the image and use the select contiguous regions tool aka the magic wand to select the portion(s) of sky you wish to manipulate. Cut it out and paste it onto a blank page of the same dimensions as the original. Now you can do all sorts of things with this image. You can use gradients under dialogs and give it a nice gradient. Tools/color tools allows you to change the exposure,color,contrast,hue,etc and that is what you are looking for to make skies/clouds darker or lighter. You can also use Filters/Light Effects to change a lot of things with the image also. Script Fu allows you to do some crazy things and some useful things like adding borders bevels etc. Your last step is to save the manipulated image and then go back to the original and open the manipulated image as a layer and then combine them. GIMP is very very powerful and it can do lots of stuff. [/QUOTE]
