the upper-right corner has a lot of white blown-out. The third story
of the white building is bad, bad, bad.
Using Photoshop v. 7.0....
I've tried various ways of toning that white down, but I can't do it
without negatively affecting the non-white parts. Selecting that
area, and using "Replace Color", I can tone down the white, but that
affects the leaves, branches, and street light. I can do a selection
that omits the street light, but those leaves and branches are just
too fine to do a selection on.
I have a hunch I can do something in Lab Mode using channels, but I
can't figure it out. Maybe something else.
Any technique suggestions?
Note: Photoshop 7.0, not a CS version.
Another possible solution that I'm amazed hasn't been suggested yet is to
simply replace that whole area with a new background.
Obviously you'd choose something more suitable than the rural one I used,
but you get the general idea.
