Getting the best out of your shot You can download the original image below:
Step 1 Open up your image in Photoshop.
Step 2 The next thing we're going to do is adjust the brightness and contrast. You can do this by going to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast... Play with this feature to your heart's content.
Step 3 Now use the Polygonal Lasso Tool and draw a selection around the sky.
Step 4 Go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur... I set my blur to a radius of 10.
Step 5 Now, using the Polygonal Lasso Tool, draw a selection around the main Spartan's body.
Step 6 I then added a motion blur. The angle is -79 and the distance is 15.
Step 7 Now, I messed around with the brightness and contrast of the selected Spartan. To do this, go to Image > Adjustments > Brightness/Contrast...
That's it! Thanks for reading my tutorial! The finished image is below:

Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc. They should all work. These are just basic things you should be able to do in most photo programs. You can always download a trial. I downloaded a trial version of Paint Shop Pro on my vista computer, and the trial never ended. I'm currently on day 465 out of 30 and I can still use the program!!!

Well yeah, I know that they all work, but if you are looking at a tutorial on how to make a panorama you probably don't know what to use software wise.
