Turn an Ordinary Photo into a Dramatic Urban Scene

As the title says, in this tutorial i’m going to show you how to make a dramatic urban scene using an ordinary photo taken with a compact camera. (I used a similar tehnique when i made the wallpaper April in Transylvania for Smashing Magazine, you might want to check it out). You’re going to learn how to replace the sky, how to increase the dramatic feel by boosting the contrast and how to add a vignette effect.
